18
Q

what happens in the cardioacceleratory center

A

sympathetic neurons increase heart rate

19
Q

sympathetics travels in the cardiac accelerator nerves where? and what do they release?

A

Thoracic region of spinal cord
release norepinephrine

20
Q

parasympathetics travels through where? what does it release?

A

Vagus nerve
releases acetylcholine

21
Q

What does sympathetic stimulation do?

A

increase heart rate

22
Q

what does parasympathetic stimulation do?

A

decrease heart rate

23
Q

How does Ca2+ affect heart rate?

A

elevated levels in IF increase contraction strength and speed heart rate

24
Q

How does K+ affect heart rate

A

Elevated levels Decrease muscle contraction and heart rate

25
Q

How epinephrine and norepinephrine affect heart rate?

A

Increase HR and contractility

26
Q

How thyroid hormones affect HR?

A

increase cardiac contraction and HR

27
Q

What are the 3 main factors that regulate stroke volume?

A
  1. preload
  2. contractility
  3. afterload
28
Q

What is preload?

A

Degree of stretch before the heart contracts

29
Q

What is the frank starling law

A

More stretch, more force will snap back with

30
Q

What is contractility?

A

Strength of contraction of muscle fibres

31
Q

What do positive inotropic agents do?

A

increase contraction

32
Q

What do negative inotropic agents do?

A

decrease contraction

33
Q

What is afterload?

A

Pressure needed before semilunar valves can open

34
Q

What is a loss of pumping efficiency by the heart called?

A

Congestive heart failure

35
Q

What is Coronary Artery disease

A

Accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries

36
Q

What is Coarctation of the aorta

A

Segment of aorta is narrowed
reduced oxygenated blood flow

37
Q

What is Patent Ductus Arteriosus

A

Ductus arteriosus remains open rather than close

38
Q

What can septal defects cause?

A

Oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood to mix

39
Q

What is Tetralogy of Fallot?

BLUE BABY

A

Reduced blood flow to lungs and mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

BLUE BABY

40
Q

What is cardiac arrest

A

cessation of effective heart beat

41
Q

What is cardiomegaly

A

heart enlargement

42
Q

What is Cor Pulmonale

A

Right sided heart failure

43
Q

Is the heart the first functional organ

A

yes
