Q

steady states

A
  • try and keep CO around 5
  • increase volume shifts venous function curve to the right
  • increase SNS shifts cardiac function curve to up, inc HR or SV

Q

chemical response to exercise

A
  • increase CO2, dec O2, decrease pH
  • local vasodilation of active muscle increases venous return (which increases RAP)
  • also decreases arterial pressure
  • activates arterial baroreceptors (decrease AP- less PNS, more SNS)
  • increase in HR and SV, increase CO
  • vasoconstriction of inactive muscle, splanchnic, cutaneous, renal

Q

SNS

A
  • heart stronger pump

- increases MSFP due to venoconstriction- same volume in smaller vessel

Q

ST segment

A

-plateau in AP

17
Q

TP

A

-ventricular diastole

18
Q

point 1 on cardiac cycle

A

during ejection the volume in the left ventricle falls from 120 mL to 50
-SV is 70
fraction is 70/120 58%

19
Q

point 2

A
  • ventricular filling occurs during early diastole when mitral and tricuspid valves open
  • atrial contraction occurs at the end of diastole and produces only a small rise in the pressure for both the right and left hearts, small increase in vent volume
  • atrial diastole during ventricular systole, atrial pressure rises, falls when mitral valves open
20
Q

point 3

A
  • diastole begins at the dichrotic notch when the aortic valve closes
  • left vent pressure falls when volume is increasing
  • forward momentum of blood entering ventricles distends the ventricles and drops pressure even though volume is increasing
21
Q

point 4

A
  • during systole, left ventricle pressure starts bigger to drive blood but then aortic pressure is higher
  • blood flows because forward momentum but flow is decreased
22
Q

filling phase

A
  • ventricles at relatively low pressure
  • AV valves open (tricuspid and mitral
  • ventricles fill with blood (50-120 ml)
  • P wave of EKG precedes atrial contraction
23
Q

jugular pressure

A
  • follows R atrial pressure
  • A -atrial contraction
  • C- closure of tricuspid valve
  • V- atrial filling and emptying
24
Q

isovolumetric contraction phase

A
  • QRS complex occurs
  • ventricular depolarization
  • ventricular muscles contract, no immediate volume change
  • ventricular pressure rapidly increase until reach aortic pressure AV valves rapidly close
  • pulmonary and aortic valves open
25
Q

ejection phase

A
  • once ventricular pressure exceeds that of the aorta and pulmonary artery
  • blood ejected from ventricles
  • dominant event of systole
  • T wave of EKG at half of outflow phase
  • at end of outflow phase, ventricular pressure decreases leading to isovolumetric relaxation
26
Q

isovolumetric relaxation

A
  • pressure rapidly drops in both ventricles
  • pulmonary and aortic valves close at the beginning of diastole
  • when ventricular pressure drops below that of the atria
  • mitral and tricuspid valves open
  • a new inflow phase begins
27
Q

SV

A
  • affected by changes in EDV and ESV
  • atrial filling pressure-increase impedes venous return decreases EDV and SV
  • ventricular filling time- increase increases EDV
  • ventricular compliance increase increases EDV
  • HR- increase-decreases diastole time, dec EDV
  • increase preload, increase EDV, increases SV (starling-more stretch increases sensitivity)
  • after load increase decreases ejection and increases ESV, less Sv
28
Q

rhythmicity

A

provided by intrinsic mechanisms of SA node

29
Q

atria

A

-contraction is a relatively minor component,

right before left

30
Q

ventricles

A
  • left before right
  • left like squeezing toothpaste
  • right contraction like bellows, approx same volume from both
31
Q

valves

A
  • mitral closes slightly before tricuspid because left ventricle contracts first
  • pulmonary pressure less than aortic so that opens first
  • aortic valve closes first too
  • tricuspid opens first
  • right sided valves open first
  • left sided valves close first
