Term
what is the cardiovascular system's most important function?
Definition
oxygen transport
Term
what are the two circuitries?
Definition
systemic, vascular
Term
what is another name for the pacemaker?
Definition
sinoatrial node
Term
in pacemaker, what kind of channel allows Na leak in?
Definition
F or funny channels
Term
in sinoatrial node, how does Ca influx start?
Definition
through T (transient) channels
Term
why do Ca T-type channels open??
Definition
They open when the cell reaches certain voltage, howewver this is actually caused by the F-channels opening, which is in turn caused by hyperpolarization (cyclic nature of the heartbeat)
Term
what channels open at threshold in the pacemaker cells?
Definition
Ca L (lasting) channels
Term
what happens at repolarization in pacemaker cells?
Definition
L-channels close, slow K channels open and K goes out
Term
where can you get more info on Ca flux and membrane potential?
Definition
videos on youtube / from your book!
Term
rise in sympathetic tone causes (cardio- pacemaker)
Definition
norep affects F channels to increase ion flow, threshold reached faster (epi has similar effect)
Term
how does parasympathetic affect cardio?
Definition
(look up effect of acetyl choline 10/26)
Term
what is the role of "troponin" in the cardio system??
Definition
??????????
Term
what triggers action potential in cardio contractile cells?
Definition
the pacemakers send signal through gap junctions
Term
what is the role of Ca in a contractile cells?
Definition
to extend action potential
Term
left ventical pumps blood to....
Definition
the whole body (so it's stronger)
Term
the atrium....
Definition
receives blood and pumps it to ventricles
Term
the ventricle....
Definition
ejects blood from the heard and provides the pressure to send it through the body.
Term
what's special about the pulmonary artery and vein?
Definition
they're on the opposite side (slides 10/26)
Term
function of veins
Definition
taking blood to the heart
Term
function of arteries
Definition
taking blood away from the heart

what is blood pressure?
Definition
hydrostatic pressure - force of blood exerted against walls of vessels
Term
what is blood flow (measurement)
Definition
function of volume/time
Term
blood flow is a function of....
Definition
pressure difference and resistance to flow

describe the mechanism for blood flow through the heart

(10/26) entry through....
Term
what is the AV valve?
Definition
atrioventricular valves are between the ventricl and atrium
Term
what are the semilunar valves?
Definition
mechanical valve between aortic and pulmonary
Term
how are atrioventricular and semilunar valves opened?
Definition
pressure of pumping closes the AV valve, but opens the semilunar valve
release of pressure opens AV, closes SL
Term
what opens and closes the valves in the heart?
Definition
pressure changes
Term
which side of the heart is more likely to need surgery and why?
Definition
left side because it does more work
Term
is the conducting system made of neurons?
Definition
no
Term
what is the bundle of autorhythmic cells between the two venticles called?
Definition
septum
Term
starting from the AV node, what is the next part of the autorhythmic cells called?
Definition
bundle of his
Term
follow the electrical signal and contractions through the heart ...
Definition
1. sino atrial node >>> contraction of both atria
2. AV node >> slows the conduction
3. slow transfer along "his" through septum
4. hits perkinge fibers, down to apex
5. signal sent to venticles to contract from apex up
Term
do the ventricles contract via signaling each other?
Definition
no, the signal from the atria splits and signals both at once from opposite sides.
Term
are the atrial and ventricular cells connected?
Definition
no, they are only linked by the AV node.
Term
when do perkinje fibers contract? why?
Definition
just before the venticles, to avoid prolapse of the valves
Term
what prevents prolapse?
Definition
the shortcut through the papillary muscles
Term
why does the SA node control all the autorhythmic cells?
Definition
it's faster and connects to them all
Term
what picks up the slack if the SA node is faulty?
Definition
__________ but atria won't contract ?
Term
what happens if you have 2 SA nodes?
Definition
heartrate doubles, you need to get rid of one.
Term
what is an ECG?
Definition
records the currents of the AP in the heart
Term
does ECG record membrane potential? Is it invasive?
Definition
no
Term
what electrical events does ECG record?
Definition
Term
what happens with damage to AV node?
Definition
atria contract, but not ventricles
Term
what are the five events of the heartrate cycle?
Definition
rest (late diastole),
atriole systole (contraction filling ventricles),
ventricular systole - AV valves are pushed closed first (isovolumic), then finally the pressure rises enough to open semilunar valves and eject blood.

Last - ventricular relaxation (semilunar valves close
Term
name the parts of the heartbeat in 3 sections.
Definition
1. atrial systole/ventricular diastole
2. atrial diastole/ventricular systole
3. ventricular diastole/atrial systole
Term
what are two things that happen during ventricular systole?
Definition
(see circular chart)
Term
how do arteries contribute to the cardio cycle aside from the obvious?

their elasticity drives blood flow and keeps the pressure gradient going while the heart relaxes.
