Heart Actions Atrial Diastole/Ventricular Systole Atrial Systole/Ventricular Diastole 15-16
Cardiac Cycle • Atrial Systole/Ventricular Diastole • blood flows passively into ventricles • remaining 30% of blood pushed into ventricles • A-V valves open/semilunar valves close • ventricles relaxed • ventricular pressure increases • Ventricular Systole/Atrial diastole • A-V valves close • chordae tendinae prevent cusps of valves from bulging too far into atria • atria relaxed • blood flows into atria • ventricular pressure increases and opens semilunar valves • blood flows into pulmonary trunk and aorta 15-17
Heart Sounds • Lubb • first heart sound • occurs during ventricular contraction • A-V valves closing • Dupp • second heart sound • occurs during ventricular relaxation • semilunar valves closing Murmur – abnormal heart sound 15-18
Heart Sounds 15-19
Cardiac Muscle • Short and branching cells • Connected by intercalated discs which contain gap junctions • Striated • Centrally located nucleus • Self stimulating and rhythmic • Can be influenced by nervous system • Use free fatty acids for energy • Life long cells • Replaced by scar tissue
Cardiac Muscle Fibers • Cardiac muscle fibers form functional syncytia • group of cells that function as a unit • atrial syncytium • ventricular syncytium 15-20
Electrocardiogram • recording of electrical changes that occur in the myocardium • used to assess heart’s ability to conduct impulses P wave – atrial depolarizatoin QRS wave – ventricular depolarization T wave – ventricular repolarization 15-24
Electrocardiogram 15-25
Electrocardiogram A prolonged QRS complex may result from damage to the A-V bundle fibers 15-26
Regulation of Cardiac Cycle • physical exercise • body temperature • concentration of various ions • potassium • calcium • parasympathetic impulses decrease heart action • sympathetic impulses increase heart action • cardiac center regulates autonomic impulses to the heart 15-28
Regulation of Cardiac Cycle Autonomic nerve impulses alter the activities of the S-A and A-V nodes 15-29
