  8. Heart Valves • Keep single directional blood flow • Open/close due to pressure not contraction • Atrioventricular valves (AV) • Right is tricuspid • Left is bicuspid or mitral • Anchored to papillary muscles by chordae tendineae‘heart strings’ • Semilunar valves (SL) • Aortic • Pulmonary

  9. Valve Function • AV • Returning blood to atria exerts pressure = valves open to ventricle • Ventricles contract = increase pressure = valves close • Chordae tendineae and papillary muscles prevent inward flip • SL • Ventricles contract = increase pressure = valves open • Ventricles relax = blood flows back = close valves

  10. Blood Flow Pathway Overview

  11. Coronary Circulation • Arterial supply in coronary sulcus • Right coronary splits • Marginal: lateral right myocardium • Posterior interventricular: heart apex and posterior ventricular walls (join for right atria and ventricle) • Left coronary splits • Circumflex: left atria and posterior wall of left ventricle • Anterior interventricular: interventricular septum and anterior ventricle walls (join for right atria and ventricle) • Actually varies between individuals • Venous supplies join in coronary sinus • Great cardiac in anterior interventricular sulcus • Middle cardiac in posterior interventricular sulcus • Small cardiac w/marginal artery

  12. Cardiac Muscle Anatomy • Intercalated discs • Gap junctions: passage/exchange of ions • Desmosomes: stabilize and maintain structure • Heart behaves as a single unit • Other characteristics (review) • Nuclei #? • Control? • Structure?

  13. Cardiac Muscle Contraction • Neural stimulation not needed = autorhythmicity • Can influence pace • Whole organ (not just motor units) contracts • Signals carried through gap junctions • Longer absolute refractory period • Regulates contraction rate • Prevents sustained contraction (tetanus) • Lots of mitochondria • Greater dependence on O2 • Presence of fuel source more important than type

  14. Autorhythmic Cells • Initiate action potentials in the heart • Due to pacemaker potential or unstable resting period • Basic steps of an AP (review) • Changes • Continuous depolarization to threshold (no flat line) • Ca2+channels open and Ca2+ rushes in • AP NOT triggered by Na+ • Found in specific locations • Sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes • Right and left bundle branches • Ventricular walls (Pukinje fibers)

  15. Beating to It’s Own Drum • Sinoatrial (SA) node or ‘pacemaker’ • Depolarization rate is fastest • Impulse ~75 times/min • Atrioventricular (AV) node delays impulse • Bundle of His electrically connects chambers • Bundle branches to apex • Pukinje fibers to contractile fibers in ventricles

  16. Extrinsic Heart Control • Cardiac centers in medulla • Cardioacceleratroy center • Sympathetic NS • Pre- from T1-T5 up • Post- through cardiac plexus to SA and AV nodes & arteries • Cardioinhibitory center • Parasympathetic NS • Pre- from vagus to heart • Post- to SA and AV nodes

  17. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) • Records all electrical autorhythmic cell activity • Distinguishable waves • P wave: SA node depolarizes atria • Atria contracts • Drop from AV node delay • QRS complex: ventricle depolarization • Ventricle contracts • Masks atrial repolarization • T wave: ventricle repolarization

  18. Heart Sounds • ‘Lub’ when AV valves close • Ventricular systole (contraction) begins • Bicuspid (mitral) before tricuspid • ‘Dup’ when SL valves close • Ventricular diastole (relaxation) begins • Aortic before pulmonary • Listen to 4 regions for differences

  19. Cardiac Cycle • Ventricular filling • Relaxed chambers creates low pressure  allows passive blood flow in • Atria contract, ‘topping off’ ventricles = end diastolic volume (EDV) • Ventricular systole (contraction) • Ventricles contract increasing pressure (isovolumetric contraction phase) • AV valves close and SL valves open • End systolic volume (ESV) remains • Early diastole • Ventricles relax decreasing pressure (isovolumetric relaxation phase) • SL valves close

  20. Cardiac Output (CO) • Amount of blood pumped by each ventricle • CO (ml/min) = HR (beats/min) x SV (ml/beat) • Stroke volume (SV) is amount of blood per ventricular contraction • Variable and increases with demand • Max CO – rest CO = cardiac reserve • Athletes have higher

  21. Regulating Stroke Volume • SV = EDV – ESV • EDV is amount of blood in ventricle during diastole • ESV is amount of blood in ventricle after systole • Affecting factors • EDV by preload: degree of cardiac stretch pre-contraction in ventricles • Slow HR increases volume of return • Exercise increases speed of return • ESV by contractility: contractile force of cardiac cells • SNS innervation, Ca2+ entry, and hormones increase • More blood leaves = decrease in ESV • Ca2+ blockers, increased extracellular K+ , and acidosis decrease • ESV by afterload: pressure needed to eject blood • High BP  more difficult to eject blood = increased ESV

  22. Regulating Heart Rate • ANS • SNS stimulates with stress, excitement, or exercise • PNS stimulates with ACh and opposes SNS • Majority of autonomic stimuli; slows heart rate • Chemical controls • Hormones: epinephrine, norepinephrine, and thyroxine increase • Ions • Other factors • Temperature • Age and exercise

  23. Homeostatic Imbalances • Pericarditis: inflammation of pericardium roughens serous membrane • Cardiactamponade: heart is compressed by fluid in pericardial cavity • Angina pectoris: deficient blood flow to myocardium • Myocardial infarction: prolonged coronary blockage; heart attack • Incompetent valves: valves fail to close allowing blood backflow • Stenosis: valves are stiff or obscure opening; heart must work harder • Ischemia: depriving tissue of oxygen • Arrhythmia: uncoordinated atrial/ventricular contractions • Fibrillation: rapid, out of phase contraction • Heart block: AV node damage; ventricles contract on own • Heart murmurs: blood swooshing; valves fail to close • Tachycardia: abnormally fast HR; stress, drugs, or temp cause • Bradycardia: abnormally slow HR; drugs, endurance training, or PNS
