Q

How do papillary muscles work?

A
  • Contract when the ventricular walls contract.
  • They do not help the valves to close.
    • Instead, they pull the vanes of the valves inward toward the ventricles to prevent their bulging too far backward toward the atria during ventricular contraction.

Q
  • C​oronary blood flow per gram of tissue is about 10 times the whole-body average.
    1. How is this high blood flow maintained?
    2. Despite the high blood flow, the myocardium must extract 65%–75% of the O2 to meet its needs. What does this do to the blood O2 content?

Q

In the coronary circulation, what are the vasoactive metabolites and what are the mechanical effects of systole?

A
  • Vasoactive metabolites
    • Hypoxia
    • Adenosine
  • Mechanical effects of systole

Q

Compare the myocardial capillary density to the skeletal muscle capillary density? How does this difference affect diffusion and nutrient/gas exchange?

A
17
Q

What heart sound does the following describe?

  • MV and tricuspid valve closure; the MV closes before the tricuspid, so this sound may be split (but usually not discernible)
A

The first heart sound

18
Q
  • Is the following change in the pressure-volume loop due to
    • increased contractility
    • increased afterload
    • or increased preload
A

increased afterload

19
Q

In the coronary circulation, what is the most important control mechanism and what is the least important control mechanism?

A
  • Most important:
    • Local metabolic control
  • Least important:
    • Sympathetic control
20
Q

For the following valve, give the location, site of auscultation, and phase of the cardiac cycle when open

Mitral Valve

A
  • Between LA and LV
  • Left 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line
  • Open during diastole
21
Q
  • About __% of coronary blood flow occurs during diastole at basal heart rates, so coronary perfusion is driven chiefly by ______ BP, not ______ pressure.
A
  • About 80% of coronary blood flow occurs during diastole at basal heart rates, so coronary perfusion is driven chiefly by diastolic BP, not systolic pressure.

Q

Label A through D

A
23
Q

What heart sound does the following describe?

  • Aortic and pulmonary valve closure; the AoV (A2) closes before the pulmonic valve (P2)); inspiration causes increased physiological splitting of this sound.
A

Second heart sound
