lecture 20- mechanical events of the cardiac cycle Flashcards
systole
contraction
diastole
relaxation
during diastole, chambers are
filling with blood
most blood enters ventricles during diastole though the
open AV valves (80%)
during atrial systole, blood is pumped from —- into —- and —-
pumped from ventricles into aorta and pulmonary artery
(20% of blood)
during ventricular systole, blood is pumped from — into — and —
pumped from ventricles into aorta and pulmonary artery
5 stages of the mechanical events of 1 cardiac cycle
- late diastole
- atrial systole
- isovolumic ventricular contraction
- ventricular ejection
- isovolumic ventricular relaxation
late diastole
heart is completely relaxed
-semilunar valves closed
- AV valves open
atrial systole
small amount of blood enters ventricles (15-20%)
-AV valves open bc atria are contracting
isovolumic ventricular contraction
ventricular contraction pushes AV valves closed but not enough force to open semilunar valves
ventricular ejection
-semilunar valves open and blood is ejected
-AV valves close
isovolumic ventricular relaxation
AV valves open/relaxed
–> chambers fill passively
If atrial systole has occurred it would be…
the max volume ventricles can contain
= End diastolic volume
= Max
Ventricular ejection has occured…
residual blood left in the heart after ventricle has contracted
= End systolic volume
= Min
The wiggers diagram displays
pressure in the left ventricle in terms of the electrical and mechanical events of the cardiac cycle
Wiggers: as ventricles contract, there is…
a huge increase in pressure in the left ventricle
Wiggers: why does pressure fall off?
because blood has been ejected from the heart
approx how many mL of blood is the left ventricle ejecting at rest?
70mL
PV relationship: A to A’
passive filling
late ventricular diastole
no increase in pressure
PV relationship: A’ to B
atrial systole (15-20% blood)
incr P, incr V
PV relationship: B
=EDV= 135 mL
