Heart lecture 3 Flashcards
What is aucultation?
listening to body sounds with stethoscope
heart sounds: what occurs during s1
AV valves close - ventricular contraction
heart sounds: s2
semilunar valves close
heart sounds: s3
blood flowing into ventricles
very feint
heart sounds: s4
almost always pathologic
What are heart murmurs
abnormal heart sounds can be heard before, during, or after normal sounds
Cardiac output
What is CO measured as
Volume of blood ejected from left ventricle every minute
What is heart rate
number of contractions per minute
What is stroke volume
volume of blood pumped out of ventricle per contraction
How is Cardiac output calculated
heart rate x stroke volume
What is:
end-diastolic volume
end-systolic volume
EDV: amount of blood in ventricle at end of filling
ESV: amount of blood in ventricle after it contracts
How to calculate stroke volume
EDV - ESV
What is cardiac reserve?
Difference between maximum CO and CO at rest
Where does autonomic regulation take place?
Cardiovascular center of the medulla oblongata
What are the 3 sensory receptors that input signals to the medulla?
baroreceptors - pressure change
chemoreceptors - chemical change in blood
proprioceptors - sensory from limbs
What are the two centers of the medulla oblongata
Cardioinhibitory center
Cardioacceleratory center
What happens in the cardioinhibitory center
parasympathetic neurons slow heart rate via vagus nerve
