Q

cardiac muscle cells are always in ABSOLUTE refractory, why?

it cannot respond to a second stimulus until the first actions potential is completely done.

A

if the heart is contracting and it was hit with a second stimulus and didn’t let the cells relax, it wouldn’t be able to fill for the next cycle. Need to be able to receive as well as pump. To prevent Teutonic contraction

Q

route of blood flow thru the heart

A

Right side - Deoxygenated blood enters heart through the SVC, IVC and coronary sinus and fills right atrium, through tricuspid valve into right ventricle, through pulmonary semilunar valve enters the pulmonary trunk goes from pulmonary artery to the lungs to get oxygen From the lungs pulmonary veins carry blood back from lungs and into left atrium, through mitral valve and into left ventricle, through aortic semi-lunar valve and into the aorta. blood then goes out to the rest of the body.

31
Q

epicardium

A

The outer layer or The visceral layer of the serous pericardium

32

myocardium

A

The middle layer of the heart wall. composed mainly of cardiac muscle and forms the bulk of the heart.

33
Q

pectinate muscles

A

muscle bundles in the right atria that look like little ridges of the myocardium.

34
Q

What is the correct order of conduction system

A

SA node, AV node, AV bundle, bundle branches, purkinje fibers

35
Q

EKG records what to bits of information

A

heart rate and electrical currents through the heart

36
Q

what are the 3 typical ekg waves

A

PQRST

37
Q

P wave

A

results from atrial depolarization

38
Q

QRS complex

A

Atrial repolarization and ventricle depolarization.

39
Q

T Wave

A

cased by ventricular re-polarization.

40
Q

P-R interval

A

the time from the beginning of atrial excitation and the beginning of ventricular excitation.

41
Q

how do epinephrine and norepinephrine effect the heart?

A

epi and norepi enhances heart rate and contractility.

42
Q

vasoconstriction

A

narrowing of blood vessels

43
Q

What’s the difference between arteries and veins

A

Arteries are blood vessels that conduct blood away from the heart and veins are blood vessels that return blood towards the heart

44
Q

As the Sympathetic Nervous system is stimulated what happens to the heart?

A

Heart rate goes up

45
Q

As the Para Sympathetic Nervous system is stimulated what happens to the heart?

A

Heart rate decreases

46
Q

Frank-Starling Law of the Heart

A

what goes in, comes out. if you put more blood in, it will pump more blood out.

47
Q

explain cardiac cycle

A
  1. ventricular filling, mid to late diastole 2. ventricular systole (atria in diastole) 3. isovolumetric relaxation; early diastole
48
Q

iso-volumetric contraction

A

Ventricles - all valves closed. no blood enters or exits the ventricles. There is an increase in ventricular pressure.

49
Q

iso-volumetric relaxation

A

No blood goes in or out. early diastole. T wave. ventricular pressure drops rapidly and blood in the aorta and pulmonary trunk flows back into the heart. decrease of pressure.

50
Q

dicrotic notch

A

Due to the backflow of blood from the aorta, a small, brief increase in blood pressure as the valves close

51
Q

heart sounds lub

A

sound of the av valve closing

52
Q

heart sounds dub

A

sound of the semilunar valve closing

53
Q

why is SA node the pacemaker

A

Highest number of action potential per minute than any place in the body. continuously generates electrical impulses, thereby setting the normal rhythm and rate in a healthy heart

54
Q

thickness of left ventricular wall

A

Needs to be extra strong to send the blood out to the rest of the body. the right ventricular wall is smaller because it only needs to pump to the heart.

55
Q

Increased pressure in the ventricles would close what valve(s)?

A

AV valves

56
Q

Put the phases of the cardiac cycle in the correct order, starting after ventricular filling.

A

isovolumetric contraction, ventricular ejection, isovolumetric relaxation

57
Q

What causes the aortic semilunar valve to close?

A

greater pressure in the aorta than in the left ventricle

58
Q

Describe the pressures in the atria and ventricles that would cause the opening of the AV valves.

A

Pressure in the atria would be greater than the pressure in the ventricles.

59
Q

Isovolumetric relaxation and ventricular filling (two phases of the cardiac cycle) take place during __________.

A

Ventricular Diastole

60
Q

cardiac output equals

A

Heart rate times stroke volume

61
Q

Which of the following would increase cardiac output to the greatest extent?

A

increase heart rate and increase stroke volume

62
Q

Which of the following would increase heart rate?

A

epinephrine and norepinephrine

63
Q

How would an increase in the sympathetic nervous system increase stroke volume?

A

increased contractability

64
Q

How would a decrease in blood volume affect both stroke volume and cardiac output?

A

decreased stroke volume and no change in cardiac output

65
Q

trabeculae carnae

A

branching muscled of the myocardium in the ventricles.

66
Q

rapid ejection

A

valves are open

67
Q

When blood leaves the heart it goes to two places

A

right side through the pulmonary trunk and into lungs aAND into the aorta and out to the body.

68
Q

action potential of cardiac muscle compared to skeletal muscle

A

cardiac muscle has a longer action potential because it has a plateau face that we don’t see in skeletal muscle and it is a prolonged depolarization due to calcium.

69
Q

which side of ventrical wall is thicker

A

left

70
Q

you get your arm in a chippper, you have

A

low blood volume, low blood pressure, body senses this with the barroreceptors, stress receptors int he aortic arch and carotid arteries towards the head. they are stretch receptors. Baroreceptros have less stretch because there is less blood due to hemorage. They will have less action potentials, cv center and vasomotor to medula. increase in sympathetic stimulation. It will effect the cardiac nerve to the heart and sympathetic nerves to the blood vessels. Heart will increase heart rate. typical negative feedback. norepinephrine will open up calcium channels. Incrase in contractiliyt, stroke voume goes up, cardiac output goes up and output. smooth muscle cells - increase in vosconstrictions, smooth muscle cells will contract which will push the blood forward. increase in peripheral resistance and increase in venous return. Also stimulates the adrenal medula. 80% epinephrine and 20% noepinephrine. they do the same thing. increase heartrate and contractility and increase in vasoconstriction. leads to blood pressure.

71
Q

when hemorage happens, blood pressure goes up and vasoconstriction happens except in

A

skeletal muscle which vasodialation

72
Q

when you have an increase in sympathetic activity

A

you have a decrease in parasympathetic activity.

73
Q

with arm in chipper we will have an increase of hormones ADH, Aldosterone, angiotensin II, that will

A

increase water reabsorbtion back into the blood so that you will make less urine.

74
Q

Angiotensine II

A

is a potent vasoconstrictor.
