  1. Chapter 20, part 2 The Heart

  2. Heart chambers and valves • Structural Differences in heart chambers • The left side of the heart is more muscular than the right side • Functions of valves • AV valves prevent backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria • Semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles from the pulmonary trunk and aorta

  3. Figure 20.7 Structural Differences between the Left and Right Ventricles Figure 20.7a-c

  4. Figure 20.8 Valves of the Heart Figure 20.8a

  5. Figure 20.8 Valves of the Heart Figure 20.8b

  6. Connective Tissues • Connective tissue fibers of the heart • Provide physical support and elasticity • Distribute the force of contraction • Prevent overexpansion • The fibrous skeleton • Stabilizes the heart valves • Physically isolates atrial from ventricular cells

  7. Blood Supply to the Heart • Arteries include the right and left coronary arteries, marginal arteries, anterior and posterior interventricular arteries, and the circumflex artery • Veins include the great cardiac vein, anterior and posterior cardiac veins, the middle cardiac vein, and the small cardiac vein

  10. SECTION 20-3The Heartbeat

  11. Cardiac Physiology • Two classes of cardiac muscle cells • Specialized muscle cells of the conducting system • Contractile cells

  12. Figure 20.11 An Overview of Cardiac Physiology Figure 20.11

  13. The Conducting System • The conducting system includes: • Sinoatrial (SA) node • Atrioventricular (AV) node • Conducting cells • Atrial conducting cells are found in internodal pathways • Ventricular conducting cells consist of the AV bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers PLAY Animation: Heart flythrough

  14. Figure 20.12 The Conducting System of the Heart Figure 20.12

  15. Impulse Conduction through the heart • SA node begins the action potential • Stimulus spreads to the AV node • Impulse is delayed at AV node • Impulse then travels through ventricular conducting cells • Then distributed by Purkinje fibers

  16. Figure 20.13 Impulse Conduction through the Heart PLAY Animation: Cardiac Activity Figure 20.13

  17. The electrocardiogram (ECG) • A recording of the electrical events occurring during the cardiac cycle • The P wave accompanies the depolarization of the ventricles • The QRS complex appears as the ventricles depolarize • The T wave indicates ventricular repolarization
