    Study Notes

    Heart Anatomy and Function

    • The heart is positioned anteriorly, inferiorly, and to the left, with the base opposite the apex.
    • Functions to maintain homeostasis by pumping blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing wastes.
    • Beats approximately 100,000 times daily, totaling around 35 million beats per year and about 2.5 billion in a lifetime.
    • Pumps roughly 30 times its weight per minute (about 5 liters) during sleep, exceeding 14,000 liters of blood daily.

    Pericardium

    • The pericardium is a protective membrane surrounding the heart, allowing free movement for heart contractions.
    • Composed of two main components:
      • Fibrous Pericardium: Tough, inelastic tissue preventing overstretching and anchoring the heart.
      • Serous Pericardium: Thin, delicate layers forming a double membrane around the heart, including:
        • Parietal Layer: Lines the fibrous pericardium.
        • Visceral Layer (Epicardium): Adheres closely to the heart surface, consisting of mesothelium and connective tissue.

    Heart Wall Layers

    • Epicardium: Provides a smooth outer surface and contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics.
    • Myocardium: Thick middle layer composed of cardiac muscle, responsible for heart contractions; makes up approximately 95% of the heart wall.
    • Endocardium: Innermost layer lining the heart chambers.

    Blood Circulation

    • Cardiac Cycle involves synchronized contractions:
      • Atria contract simultaneously, followed by ventricular contraction.
      • Systole refers to contraction phase, while Diastole refers to relaxation.

    Cardiac Output and Stroke Volume

    • Cardiac Output (CO): Calculated as heart rate (HR) multiplied by stroke volume (SV), averaging 5.25 L/min, potentially reaching 35 L/min.
    • Average stroke volume for a human is about 75 mL.
    • Resting heart rate typically around 70 beats per minute.

    Blood Vessel Types

    • Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
    • Arterioles: Smaller branches of arteries regulating blood flow.
    • Capillaries: Sites of exchange between blood and tissues; have thin walls.
    • Venules: Small vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from capillaries.
    • Veins: Return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

    Coronary Circulation

    • The myocardium has its own blood supply network known as coronary circulation.
    • Coronary arteries branch off from the ascending aorta, encircling the heart similar to a crown.
    • Blood flow through coronary arteries occurs primarily when the heart is relaxed due to aortic pressure.

    Key Definitions

    • Bright Red: Indicates oxygenated blood; Dark Red: Indicates deoxygenated blood.
    • Pulmonary Arteries: Carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs; Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood back to the heart.
    • Aorta: Largest artery in the body; Inferior vena cava: Largest vein.
    • Capillaries: Largest total cross-sectional area; arteries are stressed volume vessels, with veins categorized as capacitance vessels.

    Cellular Activities

    • Phagocytosis: Involves cells engulfing particles; Pinocytosis: Involves cells absorbing liquids.
    • Different types of white blood cells:
      • Neutrophils: Target bacteria,
      • Lymphocytes: Fight viral infections,
      • Monocytes: Conduct phagocytosis,
      • Eosinophils: Respond to allergies,
      • Basophils: Attack parasites.
