Q

mechanism of latch state

A
  1. cross-bridge cycling is very slow - so slow that it is more like thin and thick are stuck together
  2. a protein forms a link between thick and thin filaments - caldesmon

29
Q

determinants of resistance

A

viscosity
tube length
tube radius

30
Q

MAP =

31
Q

CO =

32
Q

angiotensin II

A

general vasoconstriction
increased BP

33
Q

vasopressin (ADH)

A

general vasoconstriction
increase BP

34
Q

atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)

A

general vasodilation
* decrease blood pressure

35
Q

what hapens when ventrciles contract

A

ventricular pressure increase - AV valves close - SL valves open - blood flows into arteries (ejection)

36
Q

what happens when ventricles relax

A

ventricular pressure decreases - SL valves close - AV valves open - blood flows into ventricles (filling)

37
Q

which way does ventricular depolarization spread

A

endocardium -> myocardium -> epidcardium

38
Q

which way does repolarization spread

A

epicardium -> myocardium -> endocardium

39
Q

ventricular systole

A

ventricles contracted (systolic pressure)

40
Q

ventricular diastole

A

ventricle relaxed (diastolic pressure)

41
Q

atrial systole

A

atria contracted

42
Q

atrial diastole

A

atria relaxed

43
Q

what happens during isovolumetric contraction

A

ventricular pressure is increased
all valves are closed, no change in volume

44
Q

ejection

A

SL valves open
AV valves closed

45
Q

stroke volume

A

amount of blood ejected each heart beat

46
Q

ejection fraction

A

fraction of blood ejected each heart beat

47
Q

isvolumetric relaxtion

A

SL valves close
AV valves closed

48
Q

ventricular filling

A

AV valves open
SL valves closed

49
Q

rapid filling

A

when ventricular pressure first falls below atrial pressure (AV valves open)

50
Q

slow filling

A

after rapid filling, filling continues but only at the rate of venous return

51
Q

atrial contraction

A

atrial systole - after slow filling - atria contract
*extra push of blood into the ventricles

52
Q

atrial contraction

A

atrial systole - after slow filling - atria contract
*extra push of blood into the ventricles

54
Q

second heart sound

A

SL valves open

55
Q

third heart sound

A

when AV valves open

56
Q

third heart sound

A

when AV valves open

57
Q

fourth heart sound

A

atrial contraction (AV valves still open)

58
Q

phase 0 of cardiac action potential

A

rapid depol
* opening of voltage gated Na+ channels
* required delp to threshold by spread through gap junction

59
Q

phase 1 of cardiac action potential

A

slight repolarization
* voltage gated Na+ channels close (inactivate)
* transient outward rectifier K+ channels open

59
Q

phase 2 of cardiac action potential

A

plateau phase
* balance of Ca++ and K+ channels keep Vm=0
* voltage gated Ca++ channels open (L-Type)
* delayed outward rectifier K+ channels open
*

60
Q

phase 3 of cardiac action potential

A

repolarization
* L-type Ca++ channels close (inactivate)
* delayed outward rectifier K+ channel dominates

61
Q

phase 4 of cardiac action potential

A

resting membrane potential
* inward rectifier K+ channel open- but carries outward K+ current
* keeps Vm at about -85 mM

62
Q

phase 0 of pacemaker cell

A

rising phase
* open voltage gated Ca++ channels (l-type)
* no voltage gated Na+ channels - slower rising phase

63
Q

phase 3 of pacemaker cells

A

repolarization
* voltage gated Ca++ close
* delayed outward rectifier K+ channels open

64
Q

phase 4 of pacemaker cells

A

spontaneous depolarization
* increased Na+ perm - funny Na+ channels open
* decreased K+ perm - delayed outward rectifier K+ channels close
* increased Ca++ perm - t-type Ca++ channels open

65
Q

SV is determined by 3 factors:

A
  1. preload: how much blood goes in
  2. contractility: actual beating of heart
  3. afterload: blood pressure
