Lecture 2 Flashcards
Circulation of blood flow through the heart…
Starting at lungs…
1) Has O2, through Pulmonary being
2) Left atrium
3) Mitral valve
4) Left Ventricle
5) Aortic valve through Aorta
6) Out to the body
7) Superior/Inferior Vena Cava pumps back to…
8) Right atrium
9) Tricuspid valve
10) Intro Right Ventricle
11) Pulmonary artery to get more O2
Left side pumps to…
Peripheral Circulation organs (trunk, LE)
Right side pumps to…
Back to Pulmonary Circulation (lungs) to pick up more O2
Left side has more muscle why?
Has to pump blood to the rest of the body (greater surface area)
Prenatal Period: Days that link with placenta?
13-15 days
Prenatal Period: Heart?
20-50 days
Prenatal Period: When can you hear a heart beat?
8 weeks
Prenatal Period: Heart tubes?
3 weeks
Prenatal Period: L/R chambers?
5 weeks
4 chambers by 7 weeks
What is the additional structure in the fetal heart?
Foramen Ovale, you don’t need the circulation to the lungs
This should closed at birth, PFO.
Summary of infant vs adult heart?
Everything increase in size.
- heart volume
- cardiac muscle fibers
- vascularization
- maturation of myocytes
- LV wall
- arteries/veins
- blood volume
Do males or females have a great cardiac output/stroke volume?
Males
Cardiac output?
Blood out per minute
Stroke volume?
Blood out per beat
What is the most different in adulthood?
Veins thicken
- intimal
- compromises blood pumping ability
Who has a great risk in mortality?
Women has an earlier onset
- changes in estrogen
Syncytium?
Heart can function effectively
- generate it’s own function
Intercalated disk?
A gap that allows ions to diffuse and action potentials to get carried through the junction
Cardiac Muscle Action Potential difference?
It has a plateau, for slow calcium channels
- heart auto-rhythm
What are the 5 phases of cardiac AP?
0) Fast Na channels open then slow Ca channels
1) K chnanels open
2) Ca channels open more
3) K channels open more
4) Resting membrane potential
Refractory period?
Period between two action potentials
“rest period”
- allows heart to fill with blood
- allows greatest potential to eject blood
Networking web is called…
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
What carries/transmits the AP along plasma membrane?
T-tubules
What channels open to allow depolarization to occur?
Calcium
Ca binds to…
troponin to allow actin & myosin to bind
- contraction occurs
Relaxation…
Pump to pump Ca back in
ATP needed
Systole:
contraction/emptying of the heart
Diastole:
Relaxation/filling of the heart
Phases of Cardiac Cycle:
1) Artial systole, contraction forces blood into relaxed ventricles
2) Atrial systole ends, Atrial diastole begins
3) Ventricular systole, first phase, contraction pushes AV valves closed but enough pressure to keep semilunar valves closed
4) Ventricular systole, second phase, ventricular rises and exceeds, the semilunar valves open and blood is ejected
5) Ventricular diastole - early, ventricles relax, pressure drops, blood flows back, valves closed, bloods flows back to aorta
6) Ventricular diastole - late, all chambers relax, ventricles fill passively
The cardiac cycle happens in how many millisec?
800 ms
What is the average amount of blood?
5L/min
End diastolic:
amount of blood left in ventricles after diastole, relaxation
End systolic:
amount of blood left in ventricles after contraction
Ejection volume:
amount of blood that is ejected out the heart t the rest of the body
Ejection fraction:
about 60%
