    Study Notes

    Introduction to Physiology-II

    • This course provides knowledge about the normal physiology of cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, and central nervous systems.
    • It helps students prepare scientific researches about physiological topics and understand the physiological basis of clinical cases.

    Cardiovascular System

    • A closed system of the heart and blood vessels that delivers oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products.
    • The heart pumps blood, and blood vessels allow blood to circulate throughout the body.

    Heart Structure

    • Located in the thorax, between the lungs, and pointed towards the left hip.
    • The size of a fist, with a double serous membrane (pericardium) surrounding it.
    • The heart wall consists of three layers: epicardium (outer layer), myocardium (middle layer), and endocardium (inner layer).

    Heart Chambers and Valves

    • Four chambers: right and left atria (receiving chambers) and right and left ventricles (discharging chambers).
    • Four valves: atrioventricular valves (bicuspid and tricuspid) and semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic).
    • Valves allow blood to flow in one direction and prevent backflow.

    Blood Circulation and Associated Vessels

    • Aorta leaves the left ventricle, pulmonary arteries leave the right ventricle, vena cava enters the right atrium, and pulmonary veins enter the left atrium.
    • Coronary circulation: the heart has its own circulatory system, with coronary arteries and cardiac veins.

    Cardiac Cell Properties

    • Four basic properties: excitability, conductivity, contractility, and automaticity/rhythmicity.

    Conduction System

    • Intrinsic conduction system (nodal system) that generates and maintains a regular heartbeat without external interventions.
    • The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker, followed by the atrioventricular node, atrioventricular bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers.

    Cardiac Cycle

    • The cardiac cycle consists of atrial diastole, atrial systole, isovolumetric contraction, ventricular ejection, isovolumetric relaxation, and ventricular filling.
    • The cardiac cycle is the events of one complete heartbeat.

    Cardiac Output

    • Cardiac output (CO) is the amount of blood pumped by each side of the heart in one minute.
    • CO = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV).

    Regulation of Heart Rate

    • Factors affecting heart rate: sympathetic nervous system, crisis, low blood pressure, hormones (epinephrine and thyroxine), exercise, and decreased blood volume.
    • Parasympathetic nervous system, high blood pressure or blood volume, and decreased venous return decrease heart rate.
