Study Notes
Heart Regulation
- The heart is regulated by intrinsic and extrinsic control mechanisms.
- Extrinsic control is the control exerted by something outside of the heart.
- The sympathetic nervous system speeds the heart up.
- Sympathetic innervation of the heart comes from the cardiac accelerator nerves.
- The parasympathetic nervous system slows the heart down.
- Parasympathetic innervation of the heart comes from the vagus nerve.
- The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate by depolarizing the pacemaker cells of the SA node.
- The parasympathetic nervous system slows the heart rate by hyperpolarizing the pacemaker cells of the SA node.
- The heart rate increases when the heart is exposed to epinephrine, a hormone produced by the adrenal medulla.

- Epinephrine serves much the same purpose as the sympathetic nervous system and speeds up the heart's rate of contraction.
- Heart rate is exclusively regulated via extrinsic mechanisms.
- Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two catecholamines.
- Epinephrine and norepinephrine bind to beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart.
- Binding to beta-1 adrenergic receptors increases contractility, which enhances the presence of Ca2+ and increases contractility.
Afterload
- Afterload is the pressure that the ventricles have to work against to eject blood from the heart.
- As mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases, the heart has to work harder to get the same amount of blood out.
- To demonstrate the idea of afterload, think about someone pushing a cart up a steep hill.
- Hypertension is so dangerous because it makes the heart pump harder to get the same volume of blood to the rest of the body.
- Afterload, therefore, increases as mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases.
- Stroke volume depends not only on the force-generating capacity of the ventricles, but also on the afterload that it has to work against.
- Increased contractility refers to the increased force generated for any given end diastolic volume.

- As mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases, the heart has to work harder to get the same amount of blood out.
- An "adrenaline rush" experienced while riding a rollercoaster results in a faster heart rate.
- Increased atrial pressure will result in an increased atrial contractility, which will then cause an increase in ventricular stroke volume.
- An increase in arterial pressure increases the afterload on the ventricles.
- Factors that decrease vascular resistance decrease the afterload on the ventricles.
- Increased blood viscosity increases the afterload on the ventricles.
- Decreased vascular compliance increases the afterload on the ventricles.
