Study Notes
Heart Physiology
Ventricular Isovolumic Relaxation
- At the end of ventricular isovolumic relaxation, the aortic valve opens.
Heart Sounds
- The first heart sound is associated with the closing of the aortic valve.
Ventricular Muscle Action Potential
- In phase 0 of the ventricular muscle action potential, the sodium permeability is the highest.
Sympathetic Stimulation
- Sympathetic stimulation of the heart releases norepinephrine at the sympathetic endings.
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.
Refractory Period
- During the absolute refractory period, the cell's excitability is equal to zero.
Colloid Osmotic Pressure
- Protein is the main component that contributes to the colloid osmotic pressure.
Hematopoiesis
- Vitamin B12 and folic acid support the terminal differentiation of erythroid and myeloid cells, which is critical to hematopoiesis.
