The Cardiac Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
systole occurs when
A
- contraction
- ventricular ejection
2
Q
diastole occurs when
A
- relaxation
- ventricular filling
3
Q
what is the highest pressures of the cardiac cycle
A
- systole
4
Q
what is the lowest pressures of the cardiac cycle
A
- diastole
5
Q
cardiac cycle starting at ventricular filling
what is happening with the valves?
A
- ventricular filling (AV valve open, aortic valve closed)
- atrial systole
- > AV valve closes
- isovolumetric contraction (AV and aortic valve closed)
- > aortic valve opens
- ejection -> aortic valve closes
- isovolumetric relaxation (AV and aortic valve closed)
- > AV valve opens
6
Q
what makes up ventricular systole
A
- isovolumetric contraction
- ejection
7
Q
A
8
Q
LVEDV
A
volume in ventricle at end of atrial systole
just after mitral valve has shut
max amount of blood pumped into ventricle before ventricule started to contract
9
Q
LVESV
A
- volume of blood found in heart after ventricle has ceased to contract
- at end of systole
10
Q
stroke volume formula
A
LVEDV - LVESV
11
Q
Ejection Fraction
A
SV/LVEDV
The amount of blood the heart pumps out per beat
12
Q
A
13
Q
1st heart sound heard because
A
- closure of AV valves
14
Q
2nd heart sound heard because of
A
- closure of semilunar valves
15
Q
3rd heart sound heard
due to
A
- after 2nd heart sound
- during opening of AV valves
tensing of chordae tendinae
rapid blood flow
