Mass Transport: The Cardiac Cycle Flashcards
The cardiac cycle starts when the ventricles relax and the atria contract. What does this do?
This causes the atrioventricular valves to open
The cardiac cycle starts when the ventricles relax and the atria contract. This causes the atrioventricular valves to open. What does this cause?
This causes the blood volume in the atria to decrease, and the blood volume in the ventricles to increase. This causes a slight increase in pressure in the ventricles
The cardiac cycle starts when the ventricles relax and the atria contract. This causes the atrioventricular valves to open. This then causes the blood volume in the atria to decrease, while the blood volume in the ventricles increases. This also causes a slight increase in pressure in the ventricles. What happens next?
Then the ventricles contract. Because the pressure is higher in the ventricles than the atria, the atrioventricular valves close.
The cardiac cycle starts when the ventricles relax and the atria contract. This causes the atrioventricular valves to open. This then causes the blood volume in the atria to decrease, while the blood volume in the ventricles increases. This also causes a slight increase in pressure in the ventricles.
Then the ventricles contract and the atria relax. Because the pressure is now higher in the ventricles than in the atria, the AV valves close. The pressure in the ventricles is also higher than the the pressure in the arteries. What does this cause?
This causes the semi lunar valves to open, and blood now flows into the arteries.

Now both the atria and the ventricles relax. The pressure in the arteries is now higher than the pressure in the ventricles. This causes what?
This causes the semi lunar valves to close.

Now both the atria and the ventricles relax. The pressure in the arteries is now higher than the pressure in the ventricles. This causes the semi lunar valves to close. Next, blood fills the atria. What does this cause?
This causes an increase in blood volume inside the atria, as well as a slight increase in pressure.

This causes an increase in a blood volume and a slight increase in pressure. What is this movement of blood called?
This movement of blood, at this specific moment, is passive.
What is this stage, I.e the relexation of the atria and ventricles, called?
This stage of the cardiac cycle is known as the diastole
What are the contractions of either the ventricles or the atria, known as?
The contractions of either the atria or the ventricles are known as the sytstoles

The heart has tendons which attach the valves to the ventricles, preventing the back flow of blood.

These thick walls are also elastic, which allow the artery walls to stretch and recoil in order to maintain the pressure.

This is also helped by the inner layer of the vein, which is smooth to reduce friction between the blood and the walls.

Which blood vessels transport the greater volume of blood?
Arteries transport the greater amount of blood. This is partly the reason why the blood flowing through the arteries has a higher pressure.
