cardiac cycle Flashcards
at the start of the radiac cycle the distole is
relaxed
this then means that the artira and ventricles are also
relaxed
when blood enters the heart via the ________ and the _______ ____ the _________ increases gradually
vena cava
pulmonary vein
pressure
what do the strial systole do to increase the pressure
they contract
this causes ____________ valves to _____ and blood to flow into the __________
atrioventricular
open
ventricles
when the artrial systole is contacted the ventricular systole is
relaxed
after a short delay the ventrical walls _______ this ______ the pressure
contact
increases
the ventricle contracting causes the ______________ valves to close and the _______-______ valves to open
atrioventricular
semi lunar
the blood is then pushed out of the ventricles into the ________ and _________
pulmonary artery
arota
what is the equation for cardiac output
cardiac output= heart rate X stroke volume
how is heart rate meausred
beats of the heart per min-1
how is stroke volume meausred
volume of blood that leaves the heart per beat dm3
