Physiology: Cardiac Cycle + Coronary Circulation Flashcards
- Is the following change in the pressure-volume loop due to
- increased contractility
- increased afterload
- or increased preload
increased preload
For the following valve, give the location, site of auscultation, and phase of the cardiac cycle when open
Pulmonic Valve
- B/W RV and pulmonary trunk
- Left 2nd intercostal at the the sternal border
- Open during systole
What is occurring at points A through D, in relation to the heart valves?
How do papillary muscles work?
- 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.
- Is the following change in the pressure-volume loop due to
- increased contractility
- increased afterload
- or increased preload
increased contractility
What is happening between 4 and 1 on the figure?
What is happening between 1 and 2 on the figure?
What is happening between 2 and 3 on the figure?
Label what is happening to the heart chambers A through G
- Coronary blood flow per gram of tissue is about 10 times the whole-body average.
- How is this high blood flow maintained?
- 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?
Where do the first and second heart sounds occur on this figure?
For the following valve, give the location, site of auscultation, and phase of the cardiac cycle when open
Aortic Valve
- B/W LV and aorta
- Right 2nd intercostal space at the sternal border
- Systole
What is happening between 3 and 4 on the figure?
For the following valve, give the location, site of auscultation, and phase of the cardiac cycle when open
Tricuspid Valve
- Between RA and RV
- Left 5th intercostal space at the sternal border
- Open during diastole
In the coronary circulation, what are the vasoactive metabolites and what are the mechanical effects of systole?
- Vasoactive metabolites
- Hypoxia
- Adenosine
- Mechanical effects of systole
- Compresses the coronary circulation
