The Heart Flashcards
(27 cards)
Systole
Diastole
Systole: ventricular contraction
Diastole: ventricular relaxation
what causes heart sounds
blood hitting the heart wall
the heart has 4 phases in the beat
aortic valves are open when:
ventrical pressure is high
Atrioventricular valves are open when atrial pressure is higher than ventricular pressure
EKG
electrocardiogram
P-wave
Atrial depolarization
QRS complex
Ventricular depolarization
T-Wave
Ventricular repolarization
quiz: Fast twitch muscle properties
Large fibers, high force exertion, high glycogeric energy, low mitochondrial content,
P-Wave, P-Q segment, QRS Complex, S-T segment, T-Wave
what’s in the blood when you have a heart attack
cardiac troponin
The flatter the EKG line the more ectopotic sites you have
yes
End Diastolic Volume
End Systolic Volume
End Diastolic Volume: volume of blood in ventricle after filling is complete
End Systolic Volume: volume of blood left in ventricle after contraction
Stroke Volume
Cardiac Output (CO or Q)
Stroke Volume: volume of blood ejected from ventricle with each beat.
Cardiac Output (CO or Q): Heart Rate X Stroke Volume
Stroke volume
EDV - ESV
how much blood is in your body
5 liters
72 beats/min * stroke volume 70 = cardiac output
5040 ml/min
you lose blood slower when you exercise
false, way faster
if you lose 1.2 liters of blood
you die
Frank-Starling Law of the Heart
When the rate at which the blood flows into the heart from the veins (venous return) changes, the stretch on the ventricular myocardium changes, causing the ventricle to contract with greater or lesser force so that the stroke volume matches the venous return.”
easier : more I stretch sarcomeres, the more sarcomeres can relax back. more blood can flow
How does adrenaline increase muscle capacity
releases calcium into muscle cells usually only available through sarcoplastic reticulum
during exercise cardiac output increases 5x
but skeletal muscle increases 20x, GI tract decreases, brain stays the same
F = P / R
Flow = pressure gradient / resistance
pressure differences cause blood to move
yes
