Exam Review-Pt 2- Cardio Flashcards
(73 cards)
(Cardiac/Skeletal) muscle duration is longer
Cardiac
Cardiac muscle have _____, and they are connected via _____
syncytium, connected via gap junctions
Cardiac muscle has ____ channels. Describe them.
Ca-Na channels that are slower and longer
What is the beta agonist effect on the heart?
boost cardiac contractility
What is the primary pacemaker of the heart?
SA node
What does vagal stimulation effect have on the heart?
reduces HR- Parasympathetic
Draw the basic heart physiology graph
Where is the SA node located?
Superolateral wall of right atrium near SVC
During isovolumic contraction, what is the only thing changing?
pressure
What is the purpose of the valves?
to prevent backflow
What is the purpose of the chordae tendineae?
to prevent over bulging/prolapse
True/False: Valves open and close at the same time.
FALSE: do NOT open/close at the same time
a valve closes first, then the subsequent one will open
The ___ valves are shaped so that the pointy side is down
tri/bi cuspid valves
The ____ valves are shaped that the pointy side is up
Aortic/pulmonary
During diastole, the atria have (high/low) pressure
High
During diastole, the ventricles have (high/low) pressure
low
In order for the AV valves to open, what must happen?
the pressure in the atria must be high enough, the valves open and the period of rapid filling begins
During systole, what is the pressure in the ventricle?
high
During systole, what is the pressure in the atria?
low
What must happen in order to open the semilunar valves?
once pressure in the ventricles builds enough the semilunar valve will open
Define isovolumic contraction
when the pressure in the ventricles are building to open the semilunar valve
At what pressure, does it take for the semilunar valve to open?
80
During the period of rapid ejection, what is happening? what percent of the blood?
majority is being ejected quickly (1/3 time)
70% of the volume
What is happening in the period of slow ejection?
the remaining 30% of blood is being ejected over 2/3rds of the time
