All Rights Reserved 17.2 Heart Valves (2 of 2) No valves are found between major veins and atria; not a problem because: – Inertia of incoming blood prevents backflow – Heart contractions compress venous openings Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Figure 17.6a-b Heart Valves Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Atrioventricular (AV) Valves Two atrioventricular (AV) valves prevent backflow into atria when ventricles contract – Tricuspid valve (right AV valve): made up of three cusps and lies between right atria and ventricle – Mitral valve (left AV valve, bicuspid valve): made up of two cusps and lies between left atria and ventricle – Chordae tendineae: anchor cusps of AV valves to papillary muscles that function to: ▪ Hold valve flaps in closed position ▪ Prevent flaps from everting back into atria Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Clinical—Homeostatic Imbalance 17.2 Two conditions severely weaken heart: – Incompetent valve ▪ Blood backflows so heart repumps same blood over and over – Valvular stenosis ▪ Stiff flaps that constrict opening ▪ Heart needs to exert more force to pump blood Defective valve can be replaced with mechanical, animal, or cadaver valve Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved 17.3 Pathway of Blood Through the Heart (1 of 3) Right side of the heart – Superior vena cava (SVC), inferior vena cava (IVC), and coronary sinus → – Right atrium → – Tricuspid valve → – Right ventricle → – Pulmonary semilunar valve → – Pulmonary trunk → – Pulmonary arteries → – Lungs Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Figure 17.9 Anatomical Differences Between the Right and Left Ventricles Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Coronary Circulation (1 of 4) Coronary circulation – Functional blood supply to heart muscle itself – Shortest circulation in body – Delivered when heart is relaxed – Left ventricle receives most of coronary blood supply Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Coronary Circulation (2 of 4) Coronary arteries – Both left and right coronary arteries arise from base of aorta and supply arterial blood to heart – Both encircle heart in coronary sulcus – Branching of coronary arteries varies among individuals – Arteries contain many anastomoses (junctions) ▪ Provide additional routes for blood delivery ▪ Cannot compensate for coronary artery occlusion – Heart receives 1/20th of body’s blood supply Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Microscopic Anatomy (1 of 3) Cardiac muscle cells: striated, short, branched, fat, interconnected – One central nucleus (at most, 2 nuclei) – Contain numerous large mitochondria (25–35% of cell volume) that afford resistance to fatigue – Rest of volume composed of sarcomeres ▪ Z discs, A bands, and I bands all present – T tubules are wider, but less numerous ▪ Enter cell only once at Z disc – SR simpler than in skeletal muscle; no triads Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Microscopic Anatomy (2 of 3) Intercalated discs are connecting junctions between cardiac cells that contain: – Desmosomes: hold cells together; prevent cells from separating during contraction – Gap junctions: allow ions to pass from cell to cell; electrically couple adjacent cells ▪ Allows heart to be a functional syncytium, a single coordinated unit Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved Microscopic Anatomy (3 of 3) Intercellular space between cells has connective tissue matrix (endomysium) – Contains numerous capillaries – Connects cardiac muscle to cardiac skeleton, giving cells something to pull against Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.

All Rights Reserved Figure 17.11b Microscopic Anatomy of Cardiac Muscle Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Does the Physiology of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle Differ? (1 of 5) Similarities with skeletal muscle – Muscle contraction is preceded by depolarizing action potential – Depolarization wave travels down T tubules; causes sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to release Ca2+ – Excitation-contraction coupling occurs ▪ Ca2+ binds troponin causing filaments to slide Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Does the Physiology of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle Differ? (2 of 5) Differences between cardiac and skeletal muscle – Some cardiac muscle cells are self-excitable ▪ Two kinds of myocytes – Contractile cells: responsible for contraction – Pacemaker cells: noncontractile cells that spontaneously depolarize Initiate depolarization of entire heart Do not need nervous system stimulation, in contrast to skeletal muscle fibers Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Does the Physiology of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle Differ? (3 of 5) – Heart contracts as a unit ▪ All cardiomyocytes contract as unit (functional syncytium), or none contract ▪ Contraction of all cardiac myocytes ensures effective pumping action ▪ Skeletal muscles contract independently – Influx of Ca2+ from extracellular fluid triggers Ca2+ release from SR ▪ Depolarization opens slow Ca2+ channels in sarcolemma, allowing Ca2+ to enter cell ▪ Extracellular Ca2+ then causes SR to release its intracellular Ca2+ ▪ Skeletal muscles do not use extracellular Ca2+ Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Does the Physiology of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle Differ? (4 of 5) – Tetanic contractions cannot occur in cardiac muscles ▪ Cardiac muscle fibers have longer absolute refractory period than skeletal muscle fibers – Absolute refractory period is almost as long as contraction itself – Prevents tetanic contractions – Allows heart to relax and fill as needed to be an efficient pump Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved How Does the Physiology of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle Differ? (5 of 5) – The heart relies almost exclusively on aerobic respiration ▪ Cardiac muscle has more mitochondria than skeletal muscle so has greater dependence on oxygen – Cannot function without oxygen ▪ Skeletal muscle can go through fermentation when oxygen not present ▪ Both types of tissues can use other fuel sources – Cardiac is more adaptable to other fuels, including lactic acid, but must have oxygen Copyright © 2020 Pearson Education, Inc.
