Study Notes
Cardiac Physiology Quiz
Ventricular Function
- The typical end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle is around 125 milliliters.
- At the end of ventricular isovolumic relaxation, the mitral valve opens.
Heart Sounds
- The first heart sound is associated with the closing of the A-V valves.
Ventricular Muscle Action Potential
- Sodium permeability is highest during phase 0 of the ventricular muscle action potential.
Autonomic Nervous System
- Sympathetic stimulation of the heart releases norepinephrine at the sympathetic endings.
- This increases sinus nodal discharge rate, excitability, and cardiac contractility.
Franck-Starling's Law of the Heart
- Franck-Starling's law of the heart explains the increase in cardiac output that occurs when venous return is increased.
Cardiac Action Potential
- During the absolute refractory period, the cell's excitability is zero.
Blood
- Protein is the main component that contributes to the colloid osmotic pressure.
Hematopoiesis
- Vitamin B12 and folic acid are essential for hematopoiesis, as they support the synthesis of DNA and RNA in erythroid and myeloid cells.
