Q

What determines the speed of contraction?

A

The amount of fibers dedicated to the movement as well as the composition of the fibers (aka more fast twitch fibers vs slow twitch). Amount of ATPase is another key-factor. fast twitch have more ATPase.

Q

What is the mechanism of Excitation Contraction Coupling?

A

Action potential on an alpha-motor neuron. Acetylcholine is released and binds to the sarcolemma. Action potential down the sarcolemma which then goes to the T-tubules. Calcium is released from the SR. Calcium then binds to troponin. Myosin binding sites appears when calcium attaches to TPN and lets go of actin. Myosin head automatically binds to actin. Hydrolysis of ATP enables power-stroke. Shortening of the Z lines. Another hydrolysis of ATP enables a release of the myosin head from actin.

Q

Given a stroke volume of 80ml and a cardiac output of 5500ml, determine the corresponding heart rate.

A

CO (Q)=SV*HR

5500=80*HR

17
Q

This part of the heart anchors the heart to the surrounding structures and prevents overfilling.

A

Pericardium

18
Q

Which portion of the ECG represents atrial depolarization?

A

P wave

19
Q

Which muscle fiber type has the largest cross sectional area of fiber?

A

Type IIx fast twitch; greater the cross sectional area of the fiber the greater the force and speed it can generate

20
Q

Compare the differences in stroke volume and heart rate of a sedentary individual at rest to an endurance trained individual at rest.

A

Sedentary SV: 70-80mL, Trained SV: 120-130mL

Trained SV is much larger because they have the same cardiac output but the heart is more efficient at pumping blood with less work (aka lower HR)

HR: Sedentary: 70 bpm, Trained: 40-50 bpm

21
Q

On the length tension curve, what is the length where no more cross bridges are formed

A

3.7 micrometers

22
Q

On the length tension curve, what is the length of actin?

A

1.05 micrometers

23
Q

On the length tension curve, what is the length of myosin?

A

1.6 micrometers (um)

24
Q

How many liters of blood does the body hold? How many can it hold?

A

5-6 L on average but can hold 12-15L

25
Q

The ___ is consists of pacemaker cells, which contain the fastest conduction velocity In the heart. The ___ has the slowest conduction velocity.

A

SA Node

AV Node

26
Q

Why is there a delay between the depolarization of the AV node and the Bundle of His

A

So the valve can close and prevent backflow of blood

27
Q

How does the cardiac muscle receive its blood flow?

A

Coronary vessels take some of the blood entering the heart from the lungs to also supply the heart itself

28
Q

What governs the opening and closing of valves in the heart?

A

Pressure gradient

29
Q

What is the purpose of the connections within intercalated discs?

A

They help to hold adjacent cells together and transmit the force of contraction from cell to cell. Intercellular junctions between the fused membranes of the intercalated disks allow diffusion of ions between the cells. This makes it possible for muscle impulses to travel rapidly from cell to cell.

30
Q

What is the only way to increase the amount of oxygen going to the heart?

A

The main way to increase the oxygen supply to the heart is to increase the blood flow through the coronary arteries. Your heart increases the blood flow by widening (dilating) your coronary arteries.

31
Q

What is an average persons HR, Q, and SV at rest?

A

HR: 70

SV: 70-80ml

Q: 5000-6000 ml/min

32
Q

What is cardiac output?

A

Amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat

33
Q

Endurance athletes have a lower HR than the average person at rest; however, what allows them to pump the same amount of blood despite this difference?

A

Larger stroke volumes to supply their bodies with the same amount of blood with less work

34
Q

What causes the “lub-dub” sound

A

Lub - The closing of the AV valves

Dub - The closing of the semilunar valve

35
Q

What is the optimal length muscles operate on in the length tension curve?

A

1.8-2.5 micrometers

36
Q

What is the function of papillary muscles?

A

Papillary muscles are located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole/ventricular contraction.

37
Q

How does blood move through the heart?

A

IVC/SVC-RA-Tricuspid valve-RV-Pulmonary semilunar valve-pulmonary arteries-Lungs-pulmonary veins-LA-Mitral/bicuspid valve-LV-Aortic semilunar valve-aorta-body

38
Q

What are the phases of the heart cycle

A

Filling phase

Isovolumetric contraction phase

Ejection phase

Isovolumetric relaxation phase

39
Q

Describe the relationship between left atrial, left ventricular, and aortic pressure going through the phases of the heart cycle.

A

Filling phase-

Isovolumetric contraction phase-

Ejection phase-

Isovolumetric relaxation phase-

40
Q

What happens when a muscle starts to contract if it’s fibers are in the descending limb of the length tension curve?

A

Muscle Tearing
