Four heart Chambers

right and left atrium 

right and left ventricles

100

Opening between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk

pulmonary semilunar valve

what drains the oxygen poor blood from myocardium 

coronary sinus

Calculate the CO of: 

HR = 75 beats/min
SV = 70 mL

Systolic BP = 124 mmHg

Diastolic BP = 76 mmHg

CO  = HR x SV

CO = 75bpm x 70 mL

CO = 5250 mL/min

CO = 5.25 L/min

200

Which atrium receives deoxygenated blood 

right atrium

200

Opening between left ventricle and aorta

aortic semilunar valve

200

 explain the cardiac conduction system

1.Sinuatrial (SA) node: pacemaker, in right atrium; initiates heartbeat

•ectopic focus: a region of spontaneous firing other than the SA node if it is damaged (usually AV node)

2.Signals spread throughout atria

3.Atrioventricular (AV) node: near the right AV valve at lower end of interatrial septum, spreads signal to ventricles

4.Atrioventricular (AV) bundle (bundle of His): carries signal away from AV node, forks into right and left bundle branches 

5.Purkinje fibers: spread signal throughout ventricles

200

Calculate the CO of 

HR = 75 beats/min

EDV = 140 mL

ESV = 80 mL
Systolic BP = 120 mmHg

Diastolic BP = 82 mmHg


CO = HR x SV                                 SV = EDV-ESV
CO = 75 bpm x ____                    SV = 140mL-80mL

CO = 75 bpm x 60mL                 SV = 60 mL

CO = 4500 mL/min
CO = 4.5 L/min

300

Which ventricle is the pulmonary trunk

right ventricle 

300

What delivers oxygen rich blood to the heart 

right and left coronary arteries 

300
Explain the stimulation of the myocardium 

Phase 0- when signal reaches cell it causes fast influx of sodium ions, cause memb potential to change approx -90 to +20 mV generating action potential

phase 1- cells start to depolarize but only for brief period 

Phase 2- plates phase where cell remains depolarized. 

3- cells depolarize as pottassium leaves and potential to its original resting value

4- resting membrane potential of the cell (-90mV)

A patient has a stroke volume (SV) of 70 mL/beat and a heart rate (HR) of 80 beats/minute. Calculate the cardiac output (CO).

  1. Given:

    • Stroke Volume (SV) = 70 mL/beat
    • Heart Rate (HR) = 80 beats/min
  2. Cardiac Output (CO) is given by the formula:

    CO=SV×HRCO=SV×HR

    Substituting the values:

    CO=70 mL/beat×80 beats/minCO=70mL/beat×80beats/minCO=5600 mL/minCO=5600mL/min

    Converting to liters:

    CO=5.6 L/minCO=5.6L/min
400

What is the left ventricle 

aorta 

400

Oxygenated blood flow from lungs 

pulmonary veins to left atrium to bicuspid valve to left ventricle to aortic valve to aorta to body organs

400

Explain the parts of the ECG

•P wave: represents atrial depolarization when signals from SA node spread through atria

•QRS complex: represents ventricular depolarization when signals from AV node spread through ventricles

•T wave: represents ventricular repolarization when ventricles relax

•PR Interval: time it takes impulses to travel from atria to ventricles

•QT interval: time it takes ventricles to contract and relax

400

A patient has a cardiac output of 5.5 L/min and a heart rate of 75 beats/minute. Calculate the stroke volume.

Given:

  • Cardiac Output (CO) = 5.5 L/min
  • Heart Rate (HR) = 75 beats/min

Rearranging the formula:

SV=COHRSV=HRCO

Converting CO to mL/min:

CO=5500 mL/minCO=5500mL/min

Substituting values:

SV=5500 mL/min75 beats/minSV=75beats/min5500mL/minSV=73.33 mL/beatSV=73.33mL/beat

500

What are the AV valves and which side are they on 

tricuspid-right 

bicuspid- left

500

Deoxygenated blood flow from organs

SVC IVC CS to right atrium to right av valve (tricuspid) to right ventricle to pulmonary valve to pulmonary trunk to pulmonary arteries

500

What are the phases of the cardiac cycle 

. Ventricular Filling: ventricles are relaxed and blood pours from atria into ventricles

•End-diastolic volume (EDV): max volume ventricles can hold (130 mL)

2. Isovolumetric Contraction: ventricles contract to increase pressure enough that they can force semilunar valves open. No blood ejected out

3. Ventricular Ejection: ventricles contract and blood ejected out through semilunar valves and into pulmonary trunk and aorta

•Stroke volume (SV): blood ejected out of ventricles (70 mL)

•End-systolic volume (ESV): blood left in ventricles (60 mL

4. Isovolumetric Relaxation: all heart valves closed so no blood enters or leaves chambers. Ventricles expand and relax to start the cardiac cycle over

Convert a cardiac output of 6,000 mL/min to L/min and determine the heart rate if the stroke volume is 75 mL/beat.

Given:

  • Cardiac Output (CO) = 6000 mL/min
  • Stroke Volume (SV) = 75 mL/beat

Converting to liters:

CO=6000 mL/min=6 L/minCO=6000mL/min=6L/min
