pulmonary circulation | heart to lungs to heart |
systemic circulation | heart to body to heart |
endocardium | thin membrane covering the entire inner surface of the heart, including valves forms barrier between blood and heart tissue |
intraventricular septum | between the atria and the ventricles |
types of cells in the heart | myocardial or contractile cells 99% |
paricardial sac | prevents friction, fluid filled |
name of the valve that separates the right atria and the right ventricle | right av valve or tricuspid |
name of the valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk | pulmonary valve |
name of the valve separates the left atrium and the left ventricule | left av valve |
name of the valve that separates the left ventricle and the aorta | aortic valve |
name of the muscles at the bottom of the ventricles | papillary muscles |
name what structure holds valves shut | chordae tendinae |
a wave | caused by atrial contraction |
c wave | - caused by ventricular contraction, slight backflow of blood into atria, and bulging of valves due to ventricular pressure |
v wave | - slow flow of blood into atria during ventricular contraction, ends when a-v valves open again |
phase 1 | ventricular filling |
phase 2 | - isovolumic contraction |
phase 3 | ventricular ejection |
phase 4 | - isovolumic relaxation |
Frank-Starling Law of the Heart | Stretch heart muscle more, get greater force of contraction |
Cardiac output | Blood ejected per minute hr x stroke volume |
stroke volume | Blood ejected with each beat end diastolic volume - end systolic volume |
Ejection Fraction | Volume ejected compared to maximum volume in chamber when full |
three ways to increase heart rate | increase of activity of sympathetic nerves to heart, decrease in activity of parasympathetic nerves to heart, and increase in plasma epinephrine |
three ways to increase stroke volume | increase end-diastolic ventricular volume, increase activity of sympathetic nerves to heart, or increase plasma epinephrine |
end diastolic volume | filling tine, filling pressure, blood volume, venous tone, gravity, muscle activity |
end systolic volume | afterload (diastolic blood pressure) |
Effect of Venous Filling Pressure | Increase in venous pressure will increase larger stretch of cardiac muscle cells |
Functional parts of circulation | Arteries: transport blood under high pressure to tissues Arterioles: control valves for blood before capillary Capillaries: exchange fluid, nutrients, hormones between blood and interstitial fluid Venules: collect blood from capillaries Veins: transport blood back to heart |
Flow through vessel determined by | pressure difference: gradient from one end to other |
Ohm’s Law | Blood Flow = Pressure / Resistance Cardiac Output (Flow) = 5 Liters / min |
Poiseuille’s Law | Blood flow to tissue determined by |
