Study Notes
Cardiovascular Physiology
- The Frank-Starling law represents the relationship between stroke volume and end diastolic volume.
- When the volume of blood in the ventricles increases, the stroke volume of the heart also increases.
- When the blood stretches cardiac muscle, the force of contraction increases.
- The Frank-Starling mechanism is physiologically important because it allows the cardiac output to be synchronized with venous return.
Paolo Mantegazza
- He investigated the effects of coca leaves.
- Paolo Mantegazza was born in Monza, Italy.
- He obtained his medical degree in 1849.
- He founded the first Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology in Italy.
- In the Republic of Argentina and Paraguay, Paolo Mantegazza worked as a physician and professor.
Test your knowledge on the Frank-Starling law of the heart and its relationship between stroke volume and end diastolic volume. Assess your understanding of how the heart's stroke volume responds to changes in ventricular blood volume.
