Q

The cardiac cycle includes the following aspects:

a. the various phases in the _ _ of the heart

A

pumping action

29
Q

The cardiac cycle includes the following aspects:

a. the various phases in the pumping action of the heart
b. periods of _ opening and closure

A

valve

30
Q

The cardiac cycle includes the following aspects:

a. the various phases in the pumping action of the heart
b. periods of valve opening and closure
c. changes in atrial, ventricular and _ pressure, which reflect contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle

A

aortic

31
Q

The cardiac cycle includes the following aspects:

a. the various phases in the pumping action of the heart
b. periods of valve opening and closure
c. changes in atrial, ventricular and aortic pressure, which reflect contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle
d. changes in _ volume, which reflect the amount of blood entering and leaving the _ during each heartbeat

A

ventricle (both words)

32
Q

The cardiac cycle includes the following aspects:

a. the various phases in the pumping action of the heart
b. periods of valve opening and closure
c. changes in atrial, ventricular and aortic pressure, which reflect contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle
d. changes in ventricle volume, which reflect the amount of blood entering and leaving the ventricle during each heartbeat
e. the two major heart _

A

sounds

33
Q

_stole is the period of ventricular contraction, and _stole is the period of ventricular relaxation

A

systole;
diastole

34
Q

Does the atria undergo periods of contraction and relaxation?

A

yes of course, but the ventricles are the main show, so we refer to it as ventricular systole or diastole

35
Q

The cardiac cycle begins with the ventricles and atria in complete _

A

diastole; relaxation

36
Q

Ventricular filling: During mid-to-late diastole, blood returning to the heart via the systemic and pulmonary veins enters the relaxed atria and passes through the _ valves and into the ventricles under its own pressure

A

AV (i.e., atrioventricular)

37
Q

Ventricular filling: During mid-to-late diastole, blood returning to the heart via the systemic and pulmonary veins enters the relaxed atria and passes through the AV valves and into the ventricles under its own pressure.

The return of blood from the veins to the heart, referred to as _ _, occurs because the pressure of the veins is greater than that in the atria

A

venous return

this explains why blood pressure refers to the veins more than the heart itself

38
Q

Ventricular filling: During mid-to-late diastole, blood returning to the heart via the systemic and pulmonary veins enters the relaxed atria and passes through the AV valves and into the ventricles under its own pressure.

The return of blood from the veins to the heart, referred to as venous return, occurs because the pressure of the veins is greater than that in the atria. During this time, the pulmonary and aortic (i.e., semilunar) valves are _ because ventricular pressure is lower than that in the aorta and pulmonary arteries

A

closed

  • you want the AV valves open while the ventricles are filling with blood, but you don’t want any blood to seep out into the arteries, until necessary. further, it’s hard to build pressure (the ventricular pressure is lower than the veins at this point), unless the semilunar/pulmonary and aortic values are closed
39
Q

Later in _, the atria contract, driving more blood into the ventricles. Shortly thereafter, the atria relax and _ begins, finishing ventricular filling

A

diastole;
systole

the filling of the ventricles is from higher pressure in the veins which force itself in the heart, and facilitated by gravity once blood gets through the AV valves. everything’s calm while the ventricles fill up, and only then does pumping/action/systole occur

40
Q

At the beginning of systole, the _ contract, which raises the pressure within them.

A

ventricles

41
Q

At the beginning of systole, the ventricles contract, which raises the pressure within them. When ventricular pressure exceeds _ pressure, the AV valves close

A

atrial

42
Q

At the beginning of systole, the ventricles contract, which raises the pressure within them. When ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure, the AV valves close; the _ valves remain closed because ventricular pressure is not yet high enough to force them open (venous pressure was pushing them, not the atrial pressure, although originally atrial pressure was higher)

A

semilunar

43
Q

At the beginning of systole, the ventricles contract, which raises the pressure within them. When ventricular pressure exceeds atrial pressure, the AV valves close; the semilunar valves remain closed because ventricular pressure is not yet high enough to force them open (venous pressure was pushing them, not the atrial pressure, although originally atrial pressure was higher).

Does blood flow into/out of the ventricles at this point? Why/not?

A

no, bc all valves are closing/closed to build sufficient pressure

(this phase is called ISO- (same) - volumetric contraction, after all

44
Q

Phase 2, isovolumetric contraction ends when…

A

ventricular pressure is great enough to force open the semilunar valves so that blood can leave the ventricles

45
Q

When ventricular pressure falls below aortic pressure during _ _, the semilunar valves close, ending this phase, and marking the begining of diastole

A

ventricular ejection, ending ejection/systole

46
Q

At the onset of early _, the ventricular myocarium is relaxing.

A

diastole

47
Q

Ventricular pressure is simultaneously too _ to allow the AV valves to open, and too _ to keep the semilunar valves open during isovolumetric relaxation

A

high;
low

you need low pressure for the AV valves to open (venous pressure higher than atrial/ventricular pressure, causing them to open), whereas you need high pressure for semilunar valves to open (force ventricular pressure into aorta/pulmonary arteries)

48
Q

The AV valves require low _ pressure to stay open, which is why they’re open during mid-to-late diastole and early diastole

A

ventricular

49
Q

The _ valves require high ventricular pressure to stay open, which is why they’re open during systole only

A

semilunar

50
Q

High ventricular pressure coincides with high _ pressure, but low _ pressure, and closed AV valves and open aortic and pulmonary (semilunar) valves

A

aortic;
atrial

51
Q

Heart sounds occur during the…

A

closing of the valves (like slamming a door)
