LESSON 15 - heart and circulation : central Flashcards
what are the four major parts of the cardiovascular system ?
- heart “pump”
- arteries “outflow conduits”
- capillaries “drop/pickup site”
- veins “return flow conduits”
how many chambers are there of the heart ?
four
what are the four chambers of the heart ?
right and left atria (top receiving)
right and left ventricles (bottom pumping)
what type of circulation is the right circulation ?
pulmonary
what type of circulation is the left circulation ?
systemic
what type of blood does the right heart pump
pumps deoxygenated blood from body to lungs
how does the right heart circulate blood ?
superior/inferior vena cavae → RA → tricuspid valve → RV → pulmonary valve → pulmonary arteries → lungs
how does the left heart circulate blood ?
lungs → pulmonary veins → LA → mitral valve → LV → aortic valve → aorta
what type of blood does the left heart pump ?
oxygenated blood from lungs to body
how do cardiac muscles contract ?
contracts as one single unit
how are individual cardiac muscles fibers interconnected ?
end-to-end by intercalated dics
what type of fibers are present in cardiac muscle ?
only one fiber type, similar type 1 fibers in skeletal muscle
what is the primary blood supply to heart ?
by coronary arteries which arise from aorta
what do cardiac veins return ?
deoxygenated blood
cardiac veins return deoxygenated blood to …
the inferior and superior vena cavae
how do we match O2 supply with O2 demand ?
moves simultaneously together
why does the heart generate pressure ?
to drive oxygenated blood through vessels to skeletal muscle
the heart is driven by the deans of active skeletal muscle for O2 but also :
- removes CO2 and other wastes
- transports hormones and other molecules
- supports temperature balance and controls fluid regulation
- maintains acid-base balance
when matching systemic VO2 supply with O2 demand what is the formula ? O2 =
VO2 = CO x a-vO2diference
how do you calculate cardiac output ?
HR x SV
what is cardiac output ?
how much blood is pumping out per min
what does increase O2 mean for CO ?
increase CO
FILL IN THE BLANK
cardiac output relates closely to O2 by a ratio of ____
6 : 1
what is fick’s principal ?
VO2 = CO x a-vO2difference
what is heart rate ?
the # of times the heart contracts in 1 min (beats/min)
how many mechanisms does the cardiac muscle possess by which rhythm is controlled ?
two
what are the two mechanisms the cardiac muscle posses ?
- intrinsic control and 2. extrinsic control
what is intrinsic control ?
cardiac muscle has ability to generate its own electrical signal (spontaneous rhythmicity)
what establishes sinus rhythm ?
pacemaker (SA node)
without external control what does intrinsic control average ?
100 beats per min (transplant)
what is extrinsic control ?
system that modulates intrinsic electric impulses and causes heart to speed up (anticipation) or speed down
is it intrinsic or extrinsic that adjusts HR to 35 to 30 beats min -1 at rest in endurance athletes ?
extrinsic
in extrinsic control, during maximal effort, HR can hit ___- beats per min ?
220
whats the simplest difference between intrinsic and extrinsic control ?
Intrinsic comes from within, while extrinsic arises from external factors
(intrinsic control) from within the heart include what four things ?
- SA node
- AV node
- bundle of his
- purkinje fibers
what does the SA node do ?
sets pace (pacemaker)
