Study Notes
- Part 2 of a lecture discussing body fluids and circulation for NEET 2024 preparation.
Heart Sounds
- Heart sounds are produced by the closing of heart valves.
- "Lubb" is the first heart sound, associated with the closure of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves (AV valves) at the start of ventricular systole.
- "Dub" is the second heart sound, associated with the closure of the semilunar valves at the beginning of ventricular diastole.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- ECG is a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity during the cardiac cycle.
- It is obtained using an electrocardiograph.
- The P wave represents atrial depolarization (atrial contraction).
- The QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization (ventricular contraction).
- The T wave represents ventricular repolarization (ventricular relaxation).
- By counting the number of QRS complexes, one can determine the heart rate.
- A normal ECG should exhibit all these distinct waves.
- Deviations from a normal ECG indicate abnormalities.
Double Circulation
- Pulmonary circulation involves the movement of blood between the heart and the lungs.
- Systemic circulation involves the movement of blood between the heart and the rest of the body.
- Blood flows from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, then to the lungs for oxygenation, and returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins.
- Oxygenated blood from the left atrium moves to the left ventricle, then to the aorta and systemic arteries, supplying the body before returning to the right atrium through the veins.
- The hepatic portal system is a part of the systemic circulation, directing blood from the digestive system to the liver before it returns to the heart.
Portal System
- A portal system is a special circulatory pathway where a vein connects two capillary beds.
- The hepatic portal system carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver for processing before returning to the heart.
- The hypophyseal portal system transports hormones from the hypothalamus to the anterior pituitary gland.
Regulation of Cardiac Activity
- The heart's activity is regulated intrinsically (auto-regulated) and extrinsically (through neural and hormonal mechanisms).
- The sinoatrial node (SAN) can generate impulses independently, without external stimuli.
- The autonomic nervous system (ANS) influences heart function via the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.
- Sympathetic nerves increase heart rate and contractility, while parasympathetic nerves decrease heart rate and contractility.
- Hormones like epinephrine (adrenaline) can increase cardiac output.
- The medulla oblongata, in the brainstem, contains cardiovascular control centers.
