Deoxygenated Blood Pathway

Blood flow from the body to the heart, carrying less oxygen.

Oxygenated Blood Pathway

Blood flow from the lungs to the heart, carrying more oxygen.

Heart Valves (Function)

Prevent blood from flowing backward in the heart.

Cardiac Muscle Cell Types

The heart has two types of muscle cells: contractile and autorhythmic. Contractile cells contract in response to electrical signals, while autorhythmic cells generate these signals spontaneously.

Calcium's Role in Cardiac Cells

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential for both autorhythmic and contractile cells. In autorhythmic cells, Ca2+ influx triggers action potentials. In contractile cells, Ca2+ prolongs the action potential, allowing for a sustained contraction.

Heart's Electrical Signal Pathway

The electrical signal starts at the SA node (sinoatrial node), travels through internodal pathways to the AV node, then the AV bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. This sequence allows for coordinated contraction of the heart chambers.

SA Node Location

The SA node, the heart's natural pacemaker, is located in the right atrium.

AV Node Delay Significance

The delay in the electrical signal between the SA and AV node allows the atria to fully contract and empty their blood into the ventricles before ventricular contraction.

ECG and Electrical Activity

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a visual representation of the heart's electrical activity.

Electrical-Mechanical Link in the Heart

The heart's electrical activity directly triggers its mechanical pumping actions. Specific electrical waveforms (like the P wave) correspond to mechanical events (like atrial contraction).

Aorta Arch Branches

The aortic arch branches into the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. These vessels supply blood to the head, neck, and upper extremities.

Parasympathetic Control of Heart Rate

The parasympathetic nervous system reduces heart rate by slowing down the rate of depolarization in the heart.

Sympathetic Control of Heart Rate

The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate by accelerating the rate of depolarization in the heart.

Blood Flow Pathway

Deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the vena cava, travels through the right atrium and ventricle, to the lungs for oxygenation, then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins, and finally gets pumped out by the left ventricle through the aorta to the rest of the body.

High Pressure Vessels

Arteries have higher blood pressure due to the force of the heart's contraction.

Low Pressure Vessels

Veins have lower blood pressure because they are farther from the heart and blood flows slower.

Blood Pressure Driving Force

The left ventricle, being the strongest chamber, is the primary driver for blood pressure.

Blood Vessel Diameter and Resistance

The diameter of blood vessels has the most significant impact on resistance to blood flow. Narrower vessels (vasoconstriction) increase resistance, while wider vessels (vasodilation) decrease resistance.

  • Key concepts include: movement origin, key players, factors affecting movement, and optimal movement.
  • Review unit introduction slides and associated video material to aid studying.

Unit 1: Systems & Thorax

  • Overview of the Cardiovascular System
    • Understand the anatomy and function of major organs (heart, blood vessels, blood).
    • Heart Anatomy: Endocardium (internal), Myocardium (cardiac muscle), Epicardium (external), Pericardium (membranous sac).
    • Lung Anatomy: Superior and Inferior Lobes (left and right), Oblique and Horizontal Fissures (right lung only).
  • Cardiovascular System & Movement: How cardiovascular function impacts movement (increased heart rate to meet oxygen demands of muscles).
  • Blood Vessel Types:
    • Arteries: Vessels carrying blood away from the heart.
    • Veins: Vessels carrying blood back to the heart.
  • Heart Location & Relation to Other Thoracic Structures: Located in the ventral thorax, apex pointed toward the left, base behind sternum, anterior to esophagus and inferior to the trachea.

Unit 2: Information Not Provided in OCR

  • Additional Information: The provided text contains information about the cardiovascular system and its relation to movement. It also covers the structure and pathway of blood flow through the heart and the body, as well as the pathways oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood follow. It also has information about valves and muscle types. Additional information not present in this OCR is needed for a complete study guide.
