FINAL EXAM: Unit 4 Flashcards
describe the pathway of blood in the heart (start at right atrium)
- right atrium (low O2)
- tricuspid valve
- right ventricle
- pulmonary semilunar valve
- pulmonary trunk
- pulmonary arteries (low O2)
- lungs
- pulmonary veins (high O2)
- left atrium
- bicuspid valve
- left ventricle
- aortic valve
- aorta (high O2)
- systemic tissues
- inferior & superior vena cave (low O2)
what two factors lead to flow?
pressure (+)
resistance (-)
what three factors lead to resistance?
length (+)
viscosity (+)
radius (-)
what two factors lead to velocity?
flow rate (+)
area (-)
what two factors lead to MAP (mean arterial pressure)?
CO (+)
resistance (+)
what two factors lead to cardiac output?
HR (+)
stroke volume (+)
what is stroke volume?
volume of blood pumped by one ventricle during a contraction
what happens to SV when force of contraction increases?
SV increases
what does phospholambin do to SV?
increases SV
-positive ionotropic agent (increases force of contraction)
what is the equation for SV?
SV = EDV - ESV
what three factors lead to EDV / venous return?
skeletal pump (+)
respiratory pump (+)
sympathetic NS - alpha (+)
what is the equation for ejection fraction?
EF = SV / EDV * 100
what does the parasympathetic NS do to HR?
decreases HR
-ACh (musc -> hyper)
what does the sympathetic NS do to HR?
increases HR
-NE (beta1 -> depo)
what is preload and afterload?
preload: stretch heart must overcome to fill with flood
afterload: force needed to push blood to the arteries
what happens to force when you increase sarcomere length?
increases force
what happens during the depolarization phase in a cardiac contractile cell AP?
Na+ entry
what happens during the peak of the cardiac contractile cell AP?
K+ exits
Ca2+ entry
what happens during the repolarization phase of cardiac contractile cell AP?
Ca2+ channels close
K+ exits
what happens during the depolarization phase in a cardiac autorhythmic cell AP?
I(f) channels open
Na+ entry
Ca2+ entry
what happens during the repolarization phase in a cardiac autorhythmic cell AP?
K+ exits
what is the electrical conduction pathway in the heart
- SA node
- AV node
- AV bundle (AV delay)
- bundle branches
- purkinje fibers (bottom to top)
what is happening during the P wave in an ECG?
atrial depolarization
SA node fires
what is happening during the QRS wave in an ECG?
ventricle depolarization
what is happening during the T wave in an ECG?
ventricle repolarization
what is happening during the PR segment? ST segment?
PR: atria contract, AV delay
ST: ventricle contract
what are the five phases in the cardiac cycle?
- active filling
- isovolumic ventricle contraction
- ventricular ejection
- isovolumic ventricle relaxation
- passive filling
