Study Notes

Module 5 (continued)

  • Purkinje fibers stimulate ventricular contraction which allows ejection of blood from the heart and controls the heartbeat

  • The Electrocardiogram (ECG) records electrical activity in heart

    1. Atrial depolarization: an electric charge travels from the SA node through the atria to the AV node, and this occurs just before the atrial contraction
    2. Ventricular depolarization: an electric charge spreads through the fibres and ventricles at the same time
    3. Ventricular repolarization: the end of ventricular contraction
    4. Ventricular repolarization: the continuation of repolarization
    5. PR interval includes AV delay
    6. Ventricular depolarization & repolarization occurs
  • The cardiac cycle is the mechanical and electrical events that occur between successive heartbeats and occurs from one systole to another

  • Systole is the contraction phase where ventricles contract and eject blood from the heart

  • Diastole is the relaxation phase where blood flows in chambers

  • Ventricular filling

  • Isovolumetric contraction: here, no change occurs in blood volume due to valves being shut

  • Ventricular ejection

  • Isovolumetric relaxation: all valves are shut volume does not change

Ventricular Changes

  • Phase 1 (Ventricular Filling): atria pressure is higher than the valves

  • Phase 2: Ventricular pressure is higher than atrial pressure

  • The atrioventricular valve closes, thus hearts walls contract

  • Phase 3: Valves Open

  • The semilunar valve opens and blood ejects from the heart

  • pressure decreases when enough blood has been injected

  • Phase 4: Semilunar valve closes and the vent volume is lower than in the aorta.

  • End-diastolic volume is the volume of fluid in ventricles at the end of this process

  • Stroke volume occurs when volume of blood is pumped per beat

  • Ejection fraction is the volume of blood that is pumped in connection to the amount of blood in the heart before contraction

  • End-Systolic Volume the volume of blood in heart at the end of the volume

  • "Volume Pump" is when muscles contracts and squeezes fluids back,

  • Frank Starling "Volume" is when the increased volume causes greater force and stretches the muscle while stretched, causing greater increased volume

  • Cardiac output

  • Chronotropic is rate of contract

  • Maximal "Volume" achieves the highest volume with all out force

  • The genetics and training influence "volume"

  • The Pacemaker/ inherent controls H/R

  • Circulating NE and EPI- influences VA

  • Cardiac accelerator is up regulating

  • Vagus nerve is down regulating

  • Vasculature vessels that transports to parts

  • Arteries and "

  • Arterioles and the greatest

  • Capillaries and

  • Veins volume

  • pressure/resistance

  • (volume volume)/ diameter volume
