AP II- Exam 2 Flashcards
Location of Heart
- Thoracic Cavity
- Within Mediastinum
- A bit more to the left
Mediastinum
- thin membrane of heart
- membranous partition
Pericardial Sac
- Thick membrane, surround the heart
- protects & prevents over distention
- double layered
3 Layers of the Heart Wall
- Endocardium
- Mycocardium- thick
- Epicardium- epithelial over connective tissue
Pericardial Cavity
- pericardial FLUID
- in between parietal layer & visceral layer
- can increase in volume to hold more fluid
4 Heart Chambers
- Left & Right Atria
- Left & Right Ventricles
- Atrioventricular Valves
- Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
Left Atria
- chamber
- separated by interatrial septum
- 4 openings from Pulmonary Veins
- RESERVOIR
Right Atria
- chamber
- separated by interventricular septum
- 3 opeinings
- RESEVOIR,
Left & Right Ventricle
- chamber
- separated by INTER ventricular septum
- Left- opens into AORTA
- Right opens into P.Trunk
- POWER PUMP, HOMEOSTASIS
Atrioventricular Valve
- chamber
- valves between atria and ventricles
- consists of cusps & flaps
- blood flow back into atria
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
- between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
- Aortic is Left ventricle and aorta
- open when ventricular pressure exceeds 8 mm Hg (aorta 10x more)
Red
- artery
- away from heart
Blue
- Towards heart (from brain)
- vein
- Deoxygenated
Coronary Sulcus
- external depression for cornary vessels
- external feature dividing atrium from ventricle
- separate atria from ventricles
Chordae Tendineae
- attach inferior to AV valves
- keep them from poiting backwards
- thin, strong connective tisue
- attach to papillary muscle
- cusps of AV valve
Papillary Muscle
- attach to chordae tenieae inferior in the ventricle
- cone shaped muscular pillars
- contract when ventricles contract
- prevent valves from opening into atria
Traculae Carneae
- irrecular mycocardium ridges
Coronary Circuit of Blood Flow
Mycocardium Cells
- Striated Muscle cells linked by intercalated disc
- carried excitement for contraction
- one heart muscle to next, linking them all togeher
Refractory Period
- after cardiac muscle contraction
- gives time for filling heart chambers with blood
- unsensitive to stimulation
- prevents tetanic contraction
- more rhythmic
Tetanus
- sustained contraction without relaxation
Energy for Cardiac Muscle
- ATP
- aerobic metabolism
Excitation of Cardiac Muscle Cells
- Spontaneous depolarization
- happens quickest @ SA node
- sets pace for entire heart, since all cells are linked via intercalated discs
Spontaneous depolarization
- causes an action potential
- NA+
- K+
- CA+
Pathway of conduction through the heart x4
- SA Node
- AV Node
- AV Bundle
- Bundle branches
- Purkinje
Sinoatriual Node (pg.678)
- SA Node
- impulse generation
- pacemaker
- right atrium
- spontaneous action potentials (faster rate)
- Medial to opening of superior vena cava
- made up of cardiac muscle
- to AV node
Bundle of His
- AV bundle
- passes thru small opening to reach interventricula septum
- divides to form left & right
Purkinje
- penetrate mycocardium ventricles
- conduction fibers
- specialized cardiac muscle cell
- carry action potential from bundle branches to ventricular walls & papillary muscle
AV Node
- temporary delay
systole
- contraction phase
Resting Membrane Potential
- low permeability of Na & Ca
- high permeability of K+
diastole
- relaxation phase
- blood flows back towards ventricles
- lunar valves close
- dilate
- greatest amt of filling
Which heart chamber has the highest systolic pressure & why?
- LV, b.c has to pump blood from head to toes
Left Atrium high pressure
- When LA is higher than left ventricle, AV is open
Left Ventricle High pressure
- When LV contracts, pressure is higher than LA
- Bicuspid valve closes
- first heart sound
- push blood into aorta, aortic semilunar valve is open
LV in diastole
- pressure drops
- semilunar valve closes
- second heart sound
Cardiac Output Equation
- volume pumped out of the ventricle in a minute
- CO = HR x SV
- Heart Rate X Stroke Volume
Cardiac Reserve
- Cadiac Output Max - Resting CO
Normal Cardiac Output
- 5-6 liters/minute
- all blood/minute
Controls of Heart Rate
- Sympathetic NS increases heart rate
- increases output
Normal resting heart reate
70 bpm
Stroke Volume
- SV= EDV-ESV
- Volume ejected per beat.
- Normale is 80mls/beat
- SV increase CO increases
End-diastolic volume
- The vlue in the ventricle after filling
- End-diastolic Volume - End Stroke Volume = Stroke Volume
- EDV-ESV=SV
- EDV increase, SV increases
- 120-130 mL ventricles
End Systolic Volume
- Volume left in the ventricle after contraction
- Smaller ESV the greater the SV.
- More blood is ejected.
- Sympathetic more forceful and decreases ESV.
- ventricular pressure decreases
- 50-60mL
Frank Starling Law
- as wall of ventricle stretches due to lots of blood,
- force of ventricular contraction is GREATER, DEACREASING ESV
- preventing pooling of blood in ventricle
- changes in pump effectiveness
- changes in preload
Influence Cardiac Function x 8
- Cardiac Center in brainstem regulates heart function
- Exercise
- Temperature
- Sex
- Age
- Ions
- Potassium
- Calcium
Lub-Dup Sound
- Lub- closure of the AV valves, 1st sound low pitch
- Dup- closure of Semilunar Valves, 2nd sound high pitch
Electrocardiography pg. 682
- detecting/recording electrical depolarization of the heart muscle
- Leads are electrodes placed on the skin

Normal ECG Waves pg. 682
- P= atrial depolarizaion
- QRS= ventricular depolarization

Arteries
- carry blood away from heart
- oxygenated
- do not necessarily have oxygen
- lg artery= many elastic fibers
Veins
- Carry blood toward heart
- deoxy
- valves
- increase volume b/c of large compliance
Capillaries pg. 710
- thin walled vessels

- most common
Arterioles
- tiny arteries
- Resistance blood vessel
- most important in determine resistance in blood flow

3 Layers of the wall in artery/vein
- Tunic Interna
- Tunica Media
- Tunice Externa
Artery wall is thicker than Vein. Lumen of vein can expand more
Tunica Interna
smooth endothelium
