Q

What is contractility?

A

ability of cardiac muscle cells to develop force at any given length (known as inotropism)

31
Q

What is inotropism?

A

ability of heart modify its muscular contractility

32
Q

Regarding calcium, how does a heart muscle contraction occur?

A
  1. action potential allows Ca2+ influx
  2. Ca2+ enters SR then leaves
  3. high amounts of Ca2+ in cytosol allows for contraction
33
Q

Regarding calcium, how does a heart muscle relax after contraction occur?

A

Ca2+ in cytosol enter SR or is pumped out of cell with opposing Na+ gradient (Na+ entering cell)

34
Q

How does Ca2+ enter the SR?

A

@ 2nd action potential
Ca2+ is built up in cytosol PLN unbinds for SERCA2 channel allowing Ca2+ into SR

35
Q

How does Ca2+ NOT enter the SR at the first action potential?

A

adenylate cyclase makes cAMP which makes PKA
PKA phosphorylate PLN which inhibits SERCA (Ca2+) channel preventing Ca from entering SR

36
Q

Why is Ca2+ not allowed to enter SR at first action potential?

A

need to build up lots of Ca2+ in cytosol first

37
Q

Once a lot of Ca2+ has entered SR via SERCA channel what happens?

A

Ca2+ quickly leaves SR and muscle contracts

38
Q

What are pressure volume loops?

A

relates changes in pressure to changes in blood volume in heart

distance from ESV to EDV

52
Q

If you were to increase the EDV, how would that affect contractility?

A

increases contractility

53
Q

If you were to increase contractility , how would that affect venous return?

A

increase venous return

54
Q

If you were to increase the contractility, how would that affect stroke volume ?

A

increase stroke volume

55
Q

If you were to increase the preload, how would that affect blood ejection?

Q

If you were to increase the preload, how would that affect stroke volume?

increase stroke volume

57
Q

If you were to increase the preload, how would that affect end-diastole volume?

If you were to increase the afterload, how would that affect stroke volume?

A

decrease stroke volume

59
Q

If you were to increase the afterload, how would that affect end-systole volume?

A

increase ESV
(more blood will be left over after contraction = increased volume)

A

decrease blood ejected

force of contraction (contractility and EDV)

65
Q

What is mean arterial pressure?

A

average blood pressure in a patient’s arteries during a single cardiac cycle

67
Q

How do you find pulse pressure?

A

systolic pressure - diastolic pressure

68
Q

What 2 ways can blood pressure be regulated?

A

fast response (via cardiovascular system) and slow response (via kidneys)

69
Q

Where in the brain is BP controlled?

A

medulla and hypothalamus

70

A

primary way BP is regulated

71
Q

Where are the 2 baroreceptor reflexes located?

A

carotid sinus
aortic arch

72
Q

How do the baroreceptors detect changes in BP?

A

detects bulging of artery not pressure itself

73
Q

What 3 things on pressure volume loops can be tweaked to change the shape of the loop?

A
  1. contractility
  2. pre-load
  3. after load
