Q

In your own words, describe the size, location, and orientation of the heart

A
  • The heart rests on the diaphragm, near the midline of the thoracic cavity.
  • It lies in the mediastinum- an anatomical region that extends from the sternum to the vertebral column, from the first rib to the diaphragm, and between the lungs

Q

The orientation of the heart

A
  • The heart looks like a cone lying on its side. The pointed apex is formed by the tip of the left ventricle and rests on the diaphragm. It is directed anteriorly, inferiorly and to the left.
  • The base of the heart is its posterior surface. Formed by the upper chambers of the heart, mostly the left atrium.

Q

List the 4 valves of the heart – include all alternate names for each valve.

A

1) Tricuspid Valve: blood passing from the right atrium into the right ventricle.
Also called the Right atrioventricular valve

2) Bicuspid Valve: blood passes from left atrium into the left ventricle
Called Mitral valve and Left atrioventricular valve

3) Pulmonary Valve: blood passes from the right ventricle into a large artery called pulmonary trunk. It divides into right/left pulmonary arteries, carries to lungs
Semilunar Valve

4) Aortic Valve: blood passes from left ventricle through this valve, into the ascending aorta
Semilunar Valve

Q

Cardiac Output

A

The amount of blood pumped by the ventricle (either right or left) in one minute

Cardiac Output (CO) = Stroke Volume (SV) X Heart rate (HR)

Cardiac Output (CO) = 70 mL X 75 bpm

Cardiac Output (CO) = 5250 mL/minute OR 5.25L/minute

Q

Depolarization

A

Contractile fibers have stable resting membrane potential close to -90 mV. When the fibers are brought to threshold by an action potential, its voltage-gated fast Na channels open. This allows Na inflow. This produces rapid depolarization. Within seconds Na channels inactivate and Na inflow decrease

Q

Repolarization:

A

This is the recovery of the resting membrane potential
- After a delay, additional voltage-gated K channels open. Outflow of K restores the negative resting membrane potential (-90mV). At the same time, the Ca channels in the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum are closing which also contributes to repolarization.

Q

Preload:

A

How much stretch is placed on the fibers of the heart wall before contraction occurs.
(Think of a balloon - if the balloon is blown up to its maximum, that would be a higher preload. If the balloon was only blown up a little, that would mean a lower pre-load.

Q

What events will follow when the pressure within the atria is higher than that of the ventricles?

A

Atrial Contraction (Atrial Systole)

  • Depolarization of SA node causes atrial depolarization, marked by P wave
  • Atria contracts, expert pressure on blood within, forces blood through the open AV valves into ventricles
  • Contributes final 25ml of blood to volume in each ventricle (105ml). At the end of martial systole it relaxes, it then contains 130ml in each ventricle

Q

What events will follow when the pressure within the ventricles is higher than that of the atria?

A

Ventricular Depolarization (Ventricular Systole)

  • Pressure rises inside ventricles and pushes blood up against the atrioventricular valves, forcing them shut. For 0.5 sec, both atrioventricular and semilunar valves are closed Isovolumetric contraction
  • Continued contraction on ventricles causes pressure inside chambers to rise sharply. Left ventricle surpasses the aortic pressure of 80mmHg, Right ventricle rises above the pressure of the pulmonary trunk. Then both semilunar valves open ventricular ejection
  • Ejection of blood from heart now begins, pressure of Left ventricle rises to about 120mmHg, Right ventricle climbs to 25-30mmHg
  • Represents the T wave

Q

What needs to happen for the Atrioventricular Valves to open?

A
  • When ventricles begin to relax, and the pressure falls quickly below the atrial pressure, the AV valves then open.
  • Ventricular Filling begins (blood flowing into the atria rushes rapidly into the ventricles after the AV valves open)

Q

What is the function of the heart valves? Without valves, what would happen?

A

The valves in the heart are to help close off the atrium to ventricles, and ventricles to the large artery. Without these valves the blood would flow back into the valve, and areas (backflow), and create things like a “leaky valve”

Q

Which structure begins as a passage between the atria in the fetal heart? If this passage does not close soon after birth, what complications do you think this could have for the baby?

A
  • Fossa Ovalis: Oval depression that is the remnant of foramen ovale, opening of the interatrial septum of fetal heart and normally closes soon after birth
  • If this doesn’t close, it would create what is called a “hole in the heart” meaning there would be blood flow between both atria’s, of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood causing issues with heart and blood flow

Q

Compare the thickness of the myocardium for each of the four heart chambers – why does the thickness vary from each chamber?

A

Right Atrium: 2-3mm
Right Ventricle: 4-5 mm
Left Atrium: 2-3 mm
Left Ventricle: 10-15 mm
-Thickest varies because of what each chamber is doing, the amount of blood flow and how hard they are working.
-Because the Left Ventricle forms the apex of the heart and passes blood to the aorta, it is pumping blood to the entire body. It needs to be thicker because it is working much harder

Q

What is the function of Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca) and Potassium (K) in the electrical conductivity of the heart?

A

1) Depolarization: due to Na inflow when voltage-gated fast Na channels open
- Resting membrane at -90mV
- Fibers are brought to threshold by action potential, voltage-gated fast Na channels open.
- Na inflows, producing rapid depolarization
- Within seconds Na channels inactivate and Na inflow decreases

2) Plateau: due to Ca inflow when voltage-gated slow Ca channels open and K outflow when some K channels open
- Opening voltage-gated slows Ca channels
- Ca ions move from interstitial into cytosol, causing even more Ca to pour out of sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol through additional Ca channels
- This causes contraction
- Just before plateau begins, some K channels open, allowing Potassium to leave
- Depolarization is sustained during plateau because Ca inflow balance K outflow
- Membrane potential is at 0mV

3) Repolarization: due to closure of Ca channels and K outflow when additional voltage-gated K channels open
- Recovery of resting membrane potential
- Additional K channel open, outflow of K restores the negative resting membrane (-90mV)
- Ca channels are closing in sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum which also contributes to repolarization

103
Q

Describe in your own words the entire process of blood flow from when it goes into the right atrium until it returns back to the right atrium

A
  • Blood enters into the right ventricle through contraction of the right atrium (the atrium and ventricle contract at different times to help the blood flow properly through the heart). This movement goes through the tricuspid valve – 3 cusps (which closes back up once blood enters to prevent blood from re-entering the right atrium, ex: leaky valve).
  • Once the blood enters the right ventricle it then leaves via the Pulmonary valve (this a semilunar valve – allowing blood ejected from the heart but not re-entering). The blood then enters the lungs where the blood becomes oxygenated and re-enters the heart via the Pulmonary vein.
  • The blood now enters the left atrium, where it travels through the Mitral valve (Bicuspid valve) – 2 cusps (again to prevent blood flow back into the atrium), where it now enters the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the blood out into the Aortic valve (again a semilunar valve), where it then pushes the blood into the rest of the body to be used. Then the cycle starts again!
