Section 2A Flashcards
What is Diastole
Period of relaxation and filling
-Atrial diastole and Ventricular diastole
What is Systole
Period of contraction and emptying
-Atrial systole and Ventricular systole
What is Stroke Volume
Quantity of blood pumped out of either ventricle per beat
What is the stroke volume at rest and its maximum
At rest: 70 ml/beat
Maximum: 120 ml/beat
Define Heart rate
Number of times the heart beats per minute
What is the heart rate at rest and at its maximum?
At rest: 72 beats/min
Maximum: 230 beats/min
What is Cardiac Output
Quantity of blood pumped by either ventricle per minute
Cardiac Output at rest and at its maximum?
At rest: 5 L/min
Maximum: 20-25 L/min
What equations explains the relationship between CO, HR, and SV?
HR x SV = CO
Define Venous Return
Quantity of blood returned to the heart per minute
Normally, the venous return equals what?
The cardiac output
Define End Diastolic Volume (EDV)
Quantity of blood remaining in either ventricle at the end of the ventricular diastole
What is the average value of EDV?
130 ml
Define End Systolic Volume
Quantity of blood remaining in either ventricle at the end of ventricular systole
Equation for Ejection Fraction
SV/EDV
