25
Crista Terminalis
Divides right atrium between pectinate/smooth surface
26
Interatrial Septum
Seperates left/right atria , contains fossa ovalis
27
Tricuspid Valve
(Atrioventricular valve) Right atrium to right ventricle (3 Cusps)
28
Aortic Valve
(Semilunar Valve) Blood from left ventricle passes through this valve and also to coronary arteries
29
How thick is the Left ventricle?
10-15mm
30
What chamber forms the apex of the heart
Left Ventricle
31
What is the size of the left atrium?
2-3mm thick
32
What chamber forms most of the base of the heart?
Left atrium
33
Bicuspid Valve
Left atrium to left ventricle/(Mitral Valve. AV (atrioventricular Valve)
34
Septum
Medial border between left and right atria and ventricles, houses much of the electrical conduction system
35
Fibrous Skeleton
"Rings" of dense connective tissue around valves and throughout the heart tissues/ electrical insulator
36
Foramen Ovale
Opening though atria septum/ Allows RA to LA blood movement, bypasses vent/lungs
37
Ductus Atteriosus
- Fetal shunts blood from pulm. artery to descending aorta - Allows lung bypass - Closes after birth Leaves Ligamentum arteriosim connecting aorta with pulm trunk
38
What happens in contractile fibers in PHASE 0?
- Rapid Influx of Na+ - Multiple Voltage Gated Channels open at the same time - Becomes POSITIVE and therefore DEPOLARIZED
39
What happens in contractile fibers in PHASE 1?
- BRIEF RE POLARIZATION - Peak Positive + - (Fast Channel) Na+ Influx slows/shuts off - Balance of inta vs extra cellular - K+ Still leaking from out from cell - Slow voltage gated Na+ and Ca++ channels open
40
What happens in contractile fibers in PHASE 2?
PLATEAU PHASE - Slow influx of Ca++ and Na+ and Efflux of K+ keeps cell depolarized - This is when the cell begin its contraction
41
What happens in contractile fibers in PHASE 3?
REPOLARIZATION | - Volatage gated K+ channels open allowing rapid Efflux from the cell
42
What happens in contractile fibers in PHASE 4?
RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL | - K+ is equal concentration both intra and extra cellular
43
What is the absolute refractory period?
Phase 0-3 when another action potential cannot occur
44
Where is the SA Node located?
Right atrium endocardium lateral to the opening of the superior vena cava
45
Does the SA Node have a resting potential?
No
46
How does the SA Node transmit conduction to the left atrium?
Through the anterior internodal tract of Bachmann, allowing for simultaneous contraction
47
Where is the AV Node Located?
In/near the interatrial septum, anterior to the opening of the coronary sinus
48
What are the fiber velocities of the conduction system?
SA/AV: 0.01-0.02 m/s (slowest Atria/Ventricles: 1 M/s (intermediate) Purkinje fibers: 2 m/S
49
What are the two things that the autonomic nerve impulses and hormones modify?
Timing/Strength
50
What do Desmosomes do?
Hold Fibers together
51
What is the purpose of Gap Junctions?
Allow muscle action potentials to conduct from one muscle fiber to its neighboring fibers which help it contract as a single unit
52
How many heart sounds are produced? How many can you typically hear?
4 and 2
53
How do we determine Stroke Volume (SV)?
Stroke Volume= End Diastolic Volume- End Systolic Volume
54
Define Cardiac Output
Volume of Blood ejected from the left ventricle into the Aorta each minute
55
Define Stroke Volume
Volume of blood ejected by the ventricle each contraction
56
HR
Beats per minute
57
Define Cardiac Reserve
Difference between CO Max and CO at Rest, usually 4 to 5x resting CO
58
What three factors regulate Stroke Volume and ensure they are pumping the same amount? Define them
Preload- Degree of stretch of heart before contraction Contractility- Forcefulness of contraction Afterload- Pressure that must be exvceeded before injection of the blood from the ventricles occurs
59
Characteristics of Pre-Load
greater the preload the greater the contraction
60
Describe Frank Starling Law of the Heart
- The more the heart fill with blood during diastole the greater the force of contraction - this equalizes output of the right/left ventricles
61
Characteristics of Contractility
Inotrope: something that alters the force of contraction Positive Inotrope: Increases contractility (increased influx of Ca+) ``` Negative Inotrope: Decreased contractility (Calcium channel Blockers) ```
62
Differences between Physiological & Pathological Cardiomegaly
Physiological: enlargement due to exercise Pathological: Enlargement due to Disease
