    Study Notes

    Components of the Cardiovascular System

    • The lymphatic system is NOT a component of the cardiovascular system

    Capillaries in the Cardiovascular System

    • Capillaries are responsible for exchanging oxygen and nutrients with cells and removing waste products

    Heart Structure

    • The myocardium is the layer of the heart composed of cardiac muscle
    • The epicardium is the layer of the heart wall that provides a protective outer covering to the heart

    Heart Valves

    • The function of valves in the heart is to ensure one-way blood flow and prevent backflow
    • The aortic valve allows blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta and prevents backflow
    • The mitral valve regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle

    Heart Chambers

    • The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle

    Blood Supply

    • The obtuse marginal branch of the left circumflex artery supplies blood to the lateral wall of the left ventricle
    • The posterior descending branch of the right coronary artery supplies blood to the posterior walls of both ventricles

    Electrical Conduction

    • The AV Node is located in the inferior portion of the right atrium
    • The primary neurotransmitter released by sympathetic innervation of the heart is norepinephrine
    • The negative charge inside a nodal cell is maintained by potassium ions
    • The primary ion responsible for regulating the resting membrane potential of a nodal cell is potassium
    • Autorhythmicity is the ability of certain cardiac cells to generate an electrical impulse spontaneously
    • The SA node plays a role in the spread of the action potential through the heart by generating an electrical impulse that travels to the AV Node

    Cardiac Cycle

    • During the ejection phase of the cardiac cycle, the semilunar valves open and blood is forced into the arterial trunk

    Refractory Period

    • The refractory period in a neuron or muscle fiber is the period during which it cannot respond to a new stimulus

    Cardiac Output

    • Cardiac reserve is the difference between the maximum cardiac output and the resting cardiac output
    • The formula for calculating cardiac output is cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
    • Chronotropic agents are substances that alter the heart rate
    • Positive chronotropic agents increase heart rate, while negative chronotropic agents decrease heart rate
    • Autonomic reflexes alter heart rate through the stimulation of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system
    • The key extrinsic variables that raise and decrease heart rate are sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation, respectively

    Fibrous Skeleton

    • The fibrous skeleton in the heart provides a framework for the attachment of the heart valves and separates the atria from the ventricles

    Energy for Cardiac Muscle

    • The primary source of energy for cardiac muscle is ATP derived from fatty acid oxidation
    • Intercalated discs in cardiac muscle allow for the rapid transmission of electrical impulses between cells
