The Cardiovascular System Defined
 What it is:
• A closed system of the
heart and blood vessels
o The heart pumps blood
o Blood vessels allow
blood to circulate to all
parts of the body
 Function:
• Deliver oxygen and
nutrients and to remove
carbon dioxide and
other waste products

Homeostatic Imbalances
 Angina pectoris
• Thoracic pain caused by a fleeting
deficiency in blood delivery to the
myocardium
• Cells are weakened
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
is normal in patients who experience
only angina.
 Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Prolonged coronary blockage due to, e.g.
cardiac embolism or throbus
o
Causes ischemia (lack of O2) leading to
muscle death
• Areas of cell death are repaired with noncontractile scar tissue
• ESR is elevated after an MI; can be used for
diagnosis

The Power Cycle
A. Masking protein complex (tropomyosin) binds Ca++ released from the
SR moves aside to expose head-binding sites
B. Steps of the Power Cycle
1. "Cocked" myosin head binds to actin myofilament site
2. Head bends towards the M line (sarcomere center-line), pulling
thin filament along and releasing ADP and P (broken ATP) for
the power stroke
3. ATP binds to the myosin head, causing it to detach
4. Myosin head “recocks” as ATP broken down to ADP and P

Cells of the S/A Pacemaker Are Autorhythmic
 About 1% of cardiac cells are self-excitable
• Pacemaker cells have unstable resting potential
due to open slow Na+ channels
• As potential drifts towards neutrality, action
potential initiates at threshold Ca2+ channels open
• Explosive Ca+2 influx produces the rising phase of
the action potential
• Repolarization results from inactivation of Ca2+
channels and opening of voltage-gated K+
channels

Regulation of Stroke Volume

Three main factors affect SV: Preload, Contractility, and Afterload
1.
Preload
o
Degree to which the cardiac muscle cells are stretched before
contraction

At a certain cell length, active cross-bridges are maximized
and force of contraction is maximal

Cardiac cells normally shorter than optimal length

Therefore, according to the Frank-Starling Law of the
heart, increasing stretching (greater venous return)
increases contractile force
Regulation of Stroke Volume
2.
Contractility
•
Defined as: contractile strength at a given muscle length
o
Contractile strength is independent of muscle stretch and EDV
o
Enhanced contractility causes more blood to be ejected, increasing stroke volume
and decreasing ESV
•
Factors increasing contractility
o
Increased Ca2+ influx due to sympathetic stimulation
o
Hormones (thyroxine, glucagon, and epinephrine)
o
Digitalis
•
Factors decreasing contractility
o
Acidosis (H+ interferes with Ca+2 binding to myofilaments)
o
Increased extracellular K+
o
Calcium channel blockers drugs (CCBs) like amlodipine
Regulation of Stroke Volume
3.
Afterload

Defined as: pressure that must be overcome for ventricles to eject
blood
•

Same as “back pressure” exerted on aortic and pulmonary valves
Factor increasing afterload
•
Hypertension increases afterload
•
More blood remains in heart after systole, increasing ESV and
decreasing stroke volume
Heart Rate Affected by Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems
 Heart Rate increased by sympathetic nervous system
• Activated by emotional or physical stressors
• Activated by increased venous return (the atrial reflex) as SA node
stimulated by stretch receptors
• Epinephrine from adrenal medulla enhances heart rate and contractility
• Thyroxine increases heart rate and enhances the effects of
norepinephrine and epinephrine
 Heart rate decreased by parasympathetic nervous system
opposes sympathetic effects
 Other factors include age, gender, exercise, body temperature

• If persistent, may lead to fibrillation
 Bradycardia: heart rate slower than 60 bpm
• May result in grossly inadequate blood
circulation
• May be desirable result of endurance training

inadequate to meet tissue needs
 Caused by
• Coronary atherosclerosis
