Under resting conditions
most ATP produced in
cardiac muscle is derived
from the metabolism of
fatty acids. During periods
of heavy exercise, however,
cardiac muscle cells use
Discuss with your
lactic acid as an energy neighbor and predict an
source. Why is this an
answer
advantage?

Fibrillation is abnormal,
rapid contractions of
different parts of the heart
that prevent the heart
muscle from contracting as
a single unit. Why does
atrial fibrillation not cause Discuss with your

How is the heart’s activity regulated?
The heart is regulated
in two fashions…
1) ______________
depends on characteristics of the heart itself
(in or out of the body!)
•____________
•______________ (preload relates to stroke volume)
How is the heart’s activity regulated?
2) ____________
depends on neural and hormonal control
•_______________ via vagus nerves < heart rate
“vagal stimulation”
•_______________ via cardiac nerves > heart rate & >
force of contraction
•_______________ > rate & > force...via which ones?
How is homeostasis of the heart achieved?
__________monitor conditions including:
1) Changes in pressure (______________) in
major arteries work with medulla oblongata
2) Changes in chemistry (_____________) in medulla
oblongata (CO2) and major arteries (O2)
Effects of ions
1) ________+ can decrease heart contraction to heart block
2) _________++ can increase rate (death due to skeletal
muscle tetany)
