Study Notes
Blood Vessels and Heart Function
- Veins return blood to the heart.
- Arteries convey blood away from the heart.
Purpose of Bypass Surgery
- The purpose of bypass surgery is to redirect blood flow around a blocked or narrowed section of a coronary artery, restoring blood flow to the heart muscle.
Conducting System of the Heart
- The conducting system of the heart is a network of specialized cells that generate and conduct electrical impulses, regulating the heartbeat.
Autonomic Innervation of the Heart
- Sympathetic innervation stimulates the heart, increasing heart rate and contractility.
- Parasympathetic innervation inhibits the heart, decreasing heart rate and contractility.
