Pulmonary -controls blood flow from right ventricle into the pulmonary arterys
Explain myocardial infarction
Blockage from coronary artery = loss of blood to myocardium = dead of tissue
Valves job…
To prevent venous pooling
Electrical activity of the heart
Look at spreadsheet long process
Systole and diastole
Systole- ventricular contraction working phase
Diastole-reaction phase 70%
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves roles
Sympathetic- causes heart rate to increase
Parasympathetic - causes heart rate to decrease
What nerves make up the ventricles and separately the atria
Ventricles- sympathetic
Atria- both : sympathetic and parasympathetic
Normal heart rate
Bradycardia
Tachycardia
Normal heart rate 50-100
Bradycardia below 60
Tachycardia 100+
Blood pressure
A measure of the forced blood against the arterial walls
Blood pressure
Systolic
Diastolic
Systolic - a measure of the aorta during the systole
Diastolic- a measure of the aorta during diastole
