Heart./Exercise Physiology Review Flashcards
Diastole
Relaxation phase during which the ventricles fill with blood
AV valves open
Aortic and pulmonic valves closed
Systole
Contraction phase during which ventricles expel blood
AV valves closed
Aortic and pulmonic valves open
Intrinsic Control of the Cardiac Cycle
Autorythmaticity
Sinoatrial Node
Atrioventricular Node
Purkinje Fibers
Authorhytmaticity
ability to initiate impulse for contraction at regular intervals
Sinoatrial Node
Pacemaker of the heart
Atrioventricular Node
Delays impulse by 1/10 of second, allowing atria to contract before ventricles
Purkinje Fibers
Rapidly spread the impulse to contract throughout the ventricles
P wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
T wave
ventricular repolarization
Myocardial Ischemia
ST- segment depression
Pressure During Diastole
Pressure is low
Atria fill with blood because the AV valves are open when the ventricular pressure is less than the atrial pressure
Pressure During Systole
Pressure in ventricles rises and blood is ejected into the pulmonary and systemic circulation
Semilunar valves are open when ventricular P is greater than atrial P
LUB sound
closing of the AV valves
DUB sound
closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves
