mr smith-cardiovascular system Flashcards
what is the cardiovascular system
the bodys transport system
includes heart and blood vessels
delivers oxygen to working muscles
transports heat to skin so performer can cool down
what divides the heart into two parts
muscular wall called the septum
each part contains two chambers(atrium and ventricles)
characteristics of atriums
-thin muscular walls (only pushing blood to ventricles which does not require much force)
characteristics of ventricles
thicker muscular walls (need greater force in order to push blood out of heart
which side (left or right) of the body is larger and why
left side as needs to pump blood all around the body
right side only pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs which are close to the heart
blood vessels that return to the heart
vena cava-brings deoxygenated blood back to the right atrium
pulmonary vein-brings oxygenated blood to the left atrium
blood vessels that leave the heart
pulmonary artery-leaves right ventricle with deoxygenated blood to go to lungs
aorta-leaves left ventricle with oxygenated blood to rest of the body
valves of the heart
-4 main valves
-help assure blood flows in one direction
-open to allow blood flow
-close to reduce blood backflow
Cardiac conduction system
group of specialised cells that send electrical impulses to cardiac muscle
myogenic
capacity of the heart to generate its own impulses
stages of the cardiac conduction system
-sends electrical signal in the SA node (sinoatrial node) also the pacemaker
-the electrical impulse then spreads through the heart
-the impulse spreads through walls of atria, causing them to contract and force blood into ventricles
-impulse then passes through the AV node (atrioventricular node) found in septum
-this delays transmission of cardiac impulse for approximately 0.1 seconds allowing atria to fully contract before ventricular systole begins
-electrical impulse then goes down to Bundle of HIS (located in septum)
-they move into smaller bundles called punkji fibres
-spread throughout ventricles causing them to contract
-ventricular systole takes place
what are the three receptors
chemoreceptors
baroreceptors
proprioceptors
what does the sympathetic nervous system do
stimulates heart to beat faster
what does the parasympathetic nervous system do
returns heart to resting level
what is the nervous system made up of
central nervous system ( consists of the brain and spinal cords)
peripheral nervous system(consists of nerve cells that transmit info to and from CNS)
what are the two systems(CNS and peripheral) coordinated by
CCC
Cardiac control centre
located in the medulla oblongata in brain
it is stimulated by 3 receptors (chemo, baro, proprio)
chemoreceptors
-detect chemical changes
-during exercise, detect change in C02
-c02 good at controlling heart rate
-more concentrated the co2 is, will stimulate sympathetic nervous system which increase heart rate
baroreceptors
-detect changes in blood pressure
-they establish set point for blood pressure
-if there is increase or decrease from set point, send signal to medulla oblagata(CCC)
-increase in arterial pressure, increases stretch of baroreceptors, decrease in HR
-decrease in arterial pressure, reduces stretch of baroreceptors, increase in HR
proprioceptors
-detect movement
-located in muscles and tendons
-they send impulse to medulla, sends impulse to sympathetic nervous system to SA to increase HR
hormonal control mechnanism
what is hormonal control
release of adrenaline during exercise
adrenaline stimulates SA node which increases speed and force of contraction
increasing cardiac output
results in more blood being pumped to working muscles so they receive more oxygen for energy needed
what is adrenaline
stress hormone released by the sympathetic nerves during exercise
what type of hormone is adrenaline
stress hormone
plantarflexion
increase in angle between foot and tibia
dorsiflexion
decrease in angle between foot and tibia
abduction
movement of limbs away from midline of the body
adduction
movement of limbs towards midline of the body
shoulder adduction

isotonic movement examples
concentric
essentric
isometric
stable/no movement
force generated by contracting but no change in length
isometric example
being balanced
e.g. plank
concentric contraction
when a muscle contracts to produce movement and shortens
eccentric contraction
muscle contracts to produce movement and lengthens
example of concentric contraction
UPWARD PHASE MOVEMENTS
e.g. squats
example of eccentric contractions
DOWNWARD PHASE MOVEMENTS
e.g. squats
venous return
return of blood to right side of heart by vena cava
what percentage of blood is maintained in veins at rest
70%
does venous return increase or decrease during exercise
increases as need more blood back to heart
means more blood will be then pumped back of heart stroke volume increases-starlings law
what are the venous return mechanisms
respiratory pump
skeltal msucle pump
pocket valves
the skeletal muscle pump
when muscles contract they also change shape
change in shape means muscles press on nearby veins causing pumping effect and squeeze blood back towards heart
respiratory pump
when muscles contract and relax during breathing in and breathing out
pressure chnages in chest and abdominal
changes in pressures compress nearby veins causing blood to be squeezed back to heart
pocket valves
prevent bood back flowing
once bllod passed through, they close to stop blood from flowing in any other direction
what is blood pooling
blood collecting in veins
what is the impact of blood pressure on venous return
systolic blood increases, also increases venous return
when systolic blood decreases, also decreases venous return
starlings law
if venous return increases
heart contracts with more force
increase ejection fraction
stroke volume
what happens to oxygen during exercise
3% dissolves into plasma
97% combines with haemoglobin
what is formed when oxygen and haemoglobin combine
oxyhaemoglobin
cardiac conduction system
sends electrical impulse to cardiac muscle
causing it to contract
in through atria and out of ventricles
why is the heart myogenic
starts beat itself with electrical signal in SA node
what happens in the cardiac conduction system
electrical signal in SA node spreads through the heart
impulse spreads to walls of atria causing them to contract and force blood into ventricles
impulse then passes to AV node
AV node delays transmission of cardiac impulse by 0.1 seconds to enable atria to fully contract
electrical passes down to bundle of HIS
locates in septum
branches out and moves into smaller branches, punkji fibres
spreead throughout ventricles to cause them to contract
what are the 3 mechnisma that controol the rate at which cardiac impulses are fired from sa node
proprioreceptors
baroreceptors
chemorerceptors
sympathetic nervous system
stimulates heart to beat faster
parasympathetic nervous system
returns heart to resting level
chemoreceptors
detect chemical changes
detect increase in C02
role of co2 is good at controlling heart rate
increased concentration in c02 stimulates sympathetic nervous system which makes heart beat faster
