Intrinsic regulation of heart pumping Flashcards
1
Q
regulation 1
A
preload
2
Q
regulation 2
A
afterload
3
Q
regulation 3
A
Action potentials in cardiac muscle
4
Q
regulation 4
A
Refractory periods
5
Q
regulation 5
A
rhythmic excitation mechanism
6
Q
regulation 6
A
bainbridge reflex
more bloodflow to atria
more atria stretches
more SA node fires AP
= more HR
7
Q
regulation 7
A
metabolism
heart muscle becomes more active = production of metabolites (adenosine/ co2/ lactic acid) = vasodilation = oxygen can reach tissues faster
