Lecture 2: CV Function (Exam I) Flashcards
What is the rapid ejection phase?
When does it occur?
How much stroke volume movement occurs during this phase?
- 1st 1/3 of Ejection Period (Phase III) where 70% of stroke volume (SV) comes from.
What valve(s) would you expect to open/close at the point indicated by 1 in the figure below?
Why?
- A-V valves closure.
- This occurs due to ventricular pressure exceeding atrial pressure.
What valve(s) would you expect to open/close at the point indicated by 2 in the figure below?
Why?
- Aortic valve opening
- This occurs due to ventricular pressure exceeding aortic pressure.
What valve(s) would you expect to open/close at the point indicated by 3 in the figure below?
Why?
- Aortic valve closure
- This occurs due to aortic pressure exceeding ventricular pressure.
What valve(s) would you expect to open/close at the point indicated by 4 in the figure below?
Why?
- AV valves opening.
- This occurs due to atrial pressure exceeding ventricular pressure.
What is normal ESV (End-systolic volume) for A&P?
- 50mLs
What is normal EDV (End-diastolic volume) for A&P?
- 120mLs
In a healthy adult (not acutely ill) at rest, how many mls of blood do the atria contribute to EDV? What is this as a percentage of of SV?
- 10 mls
- 5-10%
In a sick adult, what percentage of Cardiac Output does atrial kick contribute?
- Atrial kick contributes 25-30% in a sick individual.
At what point would one expect all 4 cardiac valves to be closed?
- Beginning of Phase II & IV
