Heart as a pump Flashcards
which valves are open in late diastole
mitral and R AV
explain what happens in late diastole
blood will flow from SVC to R atrium to R ventricle
blood from pulmonary veins into L atrium to L ventricle
phase of atria nd ventricle filling
late diastole
explain the percentages of blood nd how it travels from atria to venticles
70% - passively bc of low psi in ventri
30% - atrial systole
why is the remaining 30% need to be pumped in atrial systole
bc ventricles are 70% filled - not low psi anymore - needs force
why is there regurgitation during atrial systole
as atria contracts - strong - no valves present in great veins - most to ventricle some to veins - normal
when does AV valve close
during ventricular systole; towards close pa lng sa late dias and atrial sys to prople remaining 30%
explain why isovolume ventricular contraction is needed
ventricle has low psi compared to pulmo artery nd aorta - need to be high psi to overcome pulmo and aortic valves
explain the ventricular systole
1st part - isovlome contract - ventr contracts but no ejection - only to build up psi
2nd part - ventri ejection - aortic nd pulmo valces open - rapid ejection slows as systole progress
if psi declines in vent sys why does blood continue to flow in late systole
bc of momentum built up is ivc
how do AV valves close in vent sys
strentch of ventricles pull down AV valves
explain the volumes of blood in vent during dias and sys
dias 130 ml - sys 50 ml tira - 65% ejection fraction (should be pumped) - not all is pumped - 80 ml pumped
significance of ejection frac
if <65% ok for operation bc heart is strong
what valves close in early dias
aortic nd pulmonic
why does aortic nd pumonic close in early dias
psi in vent drops - high psi aorta nd pulmo art - closes to avoid backflow
explain the sig of IVR
dec in vent psi - prep for opening of mitral nd AV valves - for vent filling - dapat lower than atrial psi end when it is
signifies close of AV valve
C prime
what is the signifcance of the pericardium
Separates it from thoracic viscera
- Pericardial sac has 5 - 30 ml clear fluid
- Lubricates the heart
- Permits it to contract with minimal friction
which atrial systole happens first
right before left - bc of SA node on R atrium
which ventric contraction happens first
LV before RV - L has thiccker muscle - more force to overcome in IVC so need to contract first
which ventric eject begins first
RV before LV - 10 mmHg on RV - 80 mmHG on LV
explain the timing of closing of pulmo nd aortic valves in respiration
expire - simultaneous
inspurt - aortic muna
