QuestionAnswer
MECHANICAL EVENTS OF THE CARDIAC CYCLE MECHANICS OF THE CARDIAC CYCLE
Systole: What contracts/relaxes and what de/polarize? Ventricular contraction/depolarization
Diastole: What contracts/relaxes and what de/polarize? Ventricular relaxation; repolarization
SYSTOLE SYSTOLE
What happens to the AV valves to make them close? Is this in systole or diastole? In the beginning of systole, ventricular pressure is greater than atrial pressure to make them close
What is this phenomena called? Isovolumetric ventricular contraction
What is this AKA? Isobaloonic ventricular contraction
Does an ejection of blood occur from the ventricles? Why> No, because the pulmornary and aortic valves aren't open due to a lack of pressure in chambers
When do the aeortic and pulmonary valves open? When the ventricular pressure is over the aortic and pulmonary trunk pressure
DIASTOLE DIASTOLE
What happens to the ventricles at the onset of diastole? They releax
What happens with respect to pressure to get the aeortic and pulmonary trunk to close> The ventircular pressure fall below the pressure of the aeortic and pulmonary trunk
Does blood move here? So what is this phenonema called? No blodo moves, so it is like the isovolumentric or isobaloomic ventricular relaxation
When do the AV valves open? When ventricular pressures is BELOW the pressure int eh right and left atria, AV open
What is diastole? the ventircular filling phase
What is the speed of filling? Very fast first
How much blood does atrial contraction at the very end of diastole add? Very small amount is added to ventricle
VOLUMES VOLUMES
End diastolic volume is? The amount of blood in the ventricles just before systole
End sytolic volume? The volume remaining after ejection
Storked volume: Volume ejected
How is it caclulated? What is it in an adult? End diastolic -- end systolic, it is about 70mV
PRESSURES PRESSURES
Does the right heart or the left heart have lower pressure? The right heart!
What does this lead to? The fact that the right heart wall lis much thinner
CARDIAC OUTPUT CARDIAC OUTPUT
Define cardiac output: Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle
What is the equation to calculate cardiac output? Heart rate x stroke volume
What is the cardiac output when you're excercising? When you're REALLY excercising? 25-35 and increases to 200 beats a minute
HEART RATE CONTROL HR
What is the intrinsic HR? 100 beats a minute
Resting heart rate? 72 beats a minute
What kind of nerve fibers innervate the heart? Parasympathetic and sympathetic
What happens when you increase parasympathetic nerve stimulation? Decrease HR
What happens when you increase syjmpathetic nerve stimulation increase HR
What happens when you increase ciruclating EPI? Why? Increase HR; b/c beta 1 receptors are bound
What does parasympathetic stimulation do to the membrane potential? Why? causes it to be more negative before teh pacemaker potential begins
CHANGES IN STORKE VOLUME CHANGES IN STROKE VOLUME
How can you cause an increase in strroke volume? More forceful contraction
What are the two factors that cause this? Changes in enddiastolic volume and changes in the magnitude of sympathetic nervous sytem input ot he ventricles
When do you fill up the end diastolic volume? Before diastole,
What does happen at the end of diastole? Filling ventricles up
How do you increase end diastolic volume? Increase ventricular filling pressure
STARLING'S LAW OF THE HEART STARLING OF THE HEART
What is the law? Increasing end-diastolic volume will have a greater force of contraction and will yeild a higher stroke volume
What is venous return? Flow of blood from veins to the heart
What is the eraltionship of venous return and CO? Direct, as one increases, so does the other
Laying down on stage see mandy
Getting up mandy!
Define intrinsic return? Venous return
So blood is flowing from what to what? from veins to heart
How can increased venous return increase CO? by increasing stroke volume and DISTENDING the ventricles
How would one distend the ventricles? Laying down on stage
AFTERLOAD AFTERLOAD
What is afterload? What is pre-load? The resistance to ventricular ejection during sytole to ejection; pre-load is the volume of blood in teh ventricles before contraction
What does an increase in afterload lead to? increase end systolic volume and decrease in stroke volume
What happens to cardiac muscles and blood flow in this case? They shorten more slowly; there's less blood in ventrricles
When would this happen? (2 reasons) When you've got high arterial pressure and stiffening of the arteries
SYMPATHIETIC NERVES SYMPATHETIC NERVES
What're the components of the syjmpathtic nerves? Conducting system and myocardial tissue
What is the conducting system purpose? Inrease HR and conduction Rate
What is the myocardial system prupose? Increase contractilitity
How would the curve be measured? Measure force of muslce independent of filling
What does starling measure? After filling
SUMMARY SUMMARY
What 3 things determine stroke volume? Preload, afterload, and contractility
What is pre-load? Cardiac filling during diastole
What is it a reflection of? what releationshiop, that is? Length-tension erlationship
What is AFTERLOAD? Load on heart during ejection
What is it a reflection of? Force velocity relationsihp
What is contractility? Force of contractions as modified by sympathetic activity
What is the sympathetic activity due to? EPI and NE
SUMMARY OF EFFECTS OF AUTONOMIC NERVES ON THE HEART summary again
SA NODE SA NODE
What does sympathetic nerves affect? Heart rate
What do sympathetic nerves cause? Increase heart rate
What do parasympathetic nerves cause? decrease heart rate
AV NODE AV NODE
What does the AV node cause WRT conduction rate? Increasse conduction rate
parasymp? Decrease conduction rate
ATRIAL MUSCLD ATRIAL MUSCLE
Symp nerves? Increase contractility
Parasympathetic Decrease contractilty
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE VENTRICULAR MUSCLE
Symp nerves? Increase contractilty
Parsymp nerves Decrease contractilyt
So...what is the effect of sympathetic and parasympathetic? INDIRECT
At which point of diastole does atrial contraction occur? At the end of diastole
