cardiac conduction system

81
Q

The intrinsic conduction system is responsible for regulating…

A

the heart beat

82
Q

The ____ node is the pacemaker of the heart.

A

SA node

83
Q

Describe the intrinsic conduction cycle

A
  1. SA node in upper right atrium fires
  2. Excitation flows through the atrial myocardium
  3. AV node in lower right atrium fires
  4. Excitation spreads down AV bundle
  5. Subendocardial conducting network distributes excitation through ventricular myocardium
84
Q

Define Systole

A

The contraction of the heart muscle

85
Q

Define Diastole

A

The relaxation of the heart muscle

86
Q

What are the four steps of the cardiac cycle?

A
  1. Veintricular filling
  2. Isovolumetric contraction
  3. Ventricular ejection
  4. Isovoumetric relaxation
87
Q

Cardiac cycle:

Explain Ventricle Filling

A
  • Blood flows passively into atria
  • Atrial contraction (atrial systole)
  • AV valves open
  • Semilunar valves close
  • Ventricle is in diastole (relaxation)
  • Causes ventricles to fill with blood
88
Q

Cardiac cycle:

Explain Isometric Contraction

A
  • No change in volume
  • creates high pressure
  • forces semilunar valves to open
  • blood leaves ventricle
89
Q

Cardiac cycle:

Explain Ventricle Ejection

A
  • Ventricles contract
  • Close AV valves (1st sound of heart)
  • Atria in diastole
90
Q

Cardiac cycle:

Explain Isovolumetric Relaxation

A
  • Blood leaves ventricle
  • Pressure drops
  • Semilunar valves close (2nd sound of heart)
  • Results in ventricular diastole (relaxation)
91
Q

Cardiac Output:

Measures the effectiveness of…

A

heart contractions

92
Q

Define Cardiac Output

A

The amount of blood pumped out of the heart in 1 minute.

93
Q

Define Heart Rate

A

The number of times the heart contracts in one minute.

94
Q

Stroke Volume:

Define EDV

A

End Diastolic Volume: Blood that is in the ventricle before contraction.

95
Q

Stroke Volume:

Define ESV

A

End Systolic Volume: Amount of blood left in heart after contraction.

96
Q

Stroke Volume:

What is Starling’s “Law of the Heart”

A

SV=EDV-ESV

97
Q

What two factors determine Cardiac Output?

A

Stroke Volume (SV) and Heart Rate (HR)

98
Q

What is the formula for CO?

A

CO=(SV)(HR)
