high to low
Blood flows from ________
Pulmonary Circuit
-right side of the heart
-pushes blood through heart the heart, the lungs, and back to the heart
Systemic circuit
-located on the left side of the heart
-pushes blood through heart, tissues, and back to the heart
the purpose of gas exchange
What is the function of the pulmonary circuit?
Pulmonary trunk
-oxygen-poor blood leaves the right ventricle via the pulmonary trunk; large artery that branches to left and right pulmonary arteries
Pulmonary arteries
take the blood to the lung where oxygen is picked up and CO2 is left off
Pulmonary veins
blood returns to the heart via four pulmonary veins that go to the left atrium
Systemic
Which circulation consists of blood vessels that extend to and from the heart?
deliver oxygen & nutrients to body tissues; picks up CO2 and waste products
What is the function of systemic circulation?
right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
What are the 4 chambers of the heart?
tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral (bicuspid), aortic
What are the 4 valves of the heart?
Pericardium
-provides cushioning; friction free
Epicardium
outer visceral layer that lines the surface of the heart often infiltrated with fats
criss-crossing, interlacing layers of cells & connective tissue
What is the orientation of cells on the myocardium?
atria & ventricles
AV valve is between _______
AV valves
-prevent backflow into the atria when ventricles contract
left side
Bicuspid/mitral valve located on ______
right side
Tricuspid valve located on ________
Chordae Tendineae
____________ anchor AV valves to papillary muscles
ventricles and arteries
Semilunar valves are between ___________
Semilunar valves
-prevent backflow of blood into the ventricle
right side
Pulmonary semilunar valve is on the ______
left side
Aortic semilunar valve is on the _________
Lub
- atrioventricular valves close (tricuspid & mitral valves )
Dub
- Semilunar valves close (pulmonary and aortic)
Intercalated discs
_________ anchor cardiac cells together.
Desmosomes
- comprise of cell connections
Gap junctions
- all free passage of ions for spread of depolarization
F-channels
-have unstable resting potentials that continuously let Na+ in causing slow depolarization (drift slowly up to threshold) called pacemaker potentials
-when open, Na influxes
Voltage-gated calcium channel
-use calcium influx (rather than sodium) for rising phase depolarization of the action potential
Contractile Myocardium cells
cardiac muscle cell AP and CICR contraction
F-channels
_____ close during depolarization.
Ca2+ channels; depolarization; AP
Once membrane depolarizes to a threshold voltage, ___________ open to initiate the __________ & _________
Ca2+; K+; repolarize
Once action potential occurs, __________ close and ________ channels open to _________ the membrane.
Phase 0: Depolarization
- Na+ channels open
- voltage-sensitive L-type Ca2+ channels slowly open for CICR
Phase 1: initial repolarization
-Na+ channels close
- Fast K+ channels open increasing K+ permeability for rapid repolarization
Phase 2: Plateau
-Fast K+ channels close decreasing K+ permeability
-L-type Ca2+ channels are fully open to increase Ca2+ permeability and flatten AP
End of Plateau
-L-type Ca2+ channels close at the end of plateau phase decreasing Ca2+ permeability
Phase 3: Rapid Repolarization
-Slow K+ channels open increasing K+ permeability to repolarize the membrane
Phase 4:
-resting membrane potential
depolarize; repolarize
Cardiomyocytes _________ quickly, but take much longer to ________
arrhythmia
What is the result of a long, uneffective refractory period?
ACH; sodium permeability; voltaged gated calcium channels
Skeletal muscle use _______ to change _______ to open ____________. (DHP receptors)
ACH or DHP
_______ or _________ are not used in cardiac muscle.
Voltage-gated L-type calcium channel
open letting in a "spark of calcium"
calcium-induced calcium release; ryanodine receptors
Calcium spark causes _________ from _______ to cause contraction.
right atrium
The SA node or "pacemaker" is found in ______
AV node
_________ is found in right atrium near septum
Purkinje fibers
______ cause ventricles to contract.
sa node, av node, av bundle, bundle branches, purkinje fibers
List the steps in heartbeat path.
P wave
-corresponds to depolarization of SA node
atria
after P wave begins; ________ contracts.
QRS complex
-corresponds to ventricular depolarization and precedes ventricular contraction or systole.
T wave
-corresponds to ventricular repolarization followed by ventricular relaxation. (diastole)
CO= HR* SV
Formula for Cardiac output
Preload
-load imposed on heart before contraction begins
Afterload
-load imposed on heart after contraction
left
What has more pressure & resistance; Left or right ventricle?
Cardiac output
-the amount of blood the heart beats per unit time (L/min)
Stroke Volume
-the amount of blood the heart pumps with each beat
