objectives • Overview of the cardiovascular system • Cardiac muscle and the heart • The heart as a pump • Intrinsic Conduction System • Excitation-contraction coupling and relaxation in cardiac muscle
FUNCTIONS OF THE CVS • Rapid transport of O2 and nutrients, and removal of CO2 (H+) and waste products. • • Control system: distributes hormones to tissues • • Regulates body temperature
A. Heart location in the chest LEFT RIGHT
The 2 pumps pump at the same time The LV and the RV contract ~ simultaneously The LV and the RV eject the ~ same volume of blood. Contraction of the Heart = SYSTOLE Relaxation of the Heart = DIASTOLE
Cardiac Histology • Three features of the histology of cardiac muscle: 1. Nuclei 2. Intercalated Disks 3. Cardiac Myofibrils Cardiac Muscle Cells • There are two kinds of cell junctions on the intercalated disks. • The desmosomes are anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together. When the muscle cell contracts, they pull on each other. If it wasn't for the desmosomes, the heart would literally pull itself apart in doing its job. • The gap junctions allow the stimulating impulse to move across the heart from cell-to-cell so the heart beats as an entire unit. If each cardiac muscle cell were allowed to do its own thing the heart would be useless as a pump. desmosomes gap junctions intercalated disks.
Cardiac muscle cells contract without Innervation • The intrinsic conduction system sets the basic rhythm of the beating heart. • It consists of autorhythmic cardiac cells that initiate and distribute impulses (action potentials) throughout the heart.

Electrical Conduction • AV node • Direction of electrical signals • Delay the transmission of action potentials • SA node • Set the pace of the heartbeat at 70 bpm • AV node (50 bpm) and Purkinje fibers (25-40 bpm) can act as pacemakers under some conditions
Cardiac Muscle versus Skeletal Muscle • Smaller and have single nucleus per fiber • Have intercalated disks • Desmosomes allow force to be transferred • Gap Junctions provide electrical connection • T-tubules are larger and located at Z-lines. • Sarcoplasmic reticulum is smaller • Mitochondria occupy one-third of cell volume

Myosin Relaxation Contraction Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac Muscle Contraction • Can be graded • Sarcomere length affects force of contraction • Action potentials vary according to cell type. • Digoxin, a drug used in heart failure improves the contractility of the heart by indirectly • increasing intracellular Ca ++. It works by blocking the Na pump such that the Na gradient is reduced, resulting in less Ca being expelled from the myocyte and consequently intracellular Ca ++ levels increase and the contractile force is enhanced
