Chapter 20, part 1 The Heart
Learning Objectives • Describe the organization of the cardiovascular system. • Describe the location and general features of the heart, including the pericardium. • Discuss the differences between nodal cells and conducting cells and describe the components and functions of the conducting system of the heart. • Identify the electrical events associated with a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning Objectives • Explain the events of the cardiac cycle including atrial and ventricular systole and diastole, and relate the heart sounds to specific events in the cycle. • Define cardiac output, heart rate and stroke volume and describe the factors that influence these variables. • Explain how adjustments in stroke volume and cardiac output are coordinated at different levels of activity.
Heart as an Endothermic Organ • Your heart has four chambers (2-cycle pump), and is critical in pumping enough oxygenated blood for you to be able to • 1: Keep a high metabolic rate • 2: Maintain a constant internal temperature, even in cooler environments • 3: Be active under adverse conditions • 4: Process food (get energy) relatively quickly
Two-Cycle Pump—your heart Blue is one cycle (deoxygenated blood) Red is the other Cycle (oxygenated Blood)
The cardiovascular system is divided into two circuits • Pulmonary circuit • blood to and from the lungs • System circuit • blood to and from the rest of the body • Vessels carry the blood through the circuits • Arteries carry blood away from the heart • Veins carry blood to the heart • Capillaries permit exchange
Figure 20.1 An Overview of the Cardiovascular System Figure 20.1
The pericardia • Visceral pericardium or epicardium • Parietal pericardium • Pericardial fluid

Superficial Anatomy of the Heart • The heart consists of four chambers • Two atria and two ventricles • Major blood vessels of the heart include • Inferior and superior vena cavae • Aorta and pulmonary trunk

The Heart Wall • Components of the heart wall include • Epicardium • Myocardium • Endocardium
Figure 20.4 The Heart Wall Figure 20.4
Figure 20.5 The Heart Wall and Cardiac Muscle Cells Figure 20.5a-c
Internal Anatomy and Organization • Atria • Thin walled chambers that receive blood from the vena cavae • Ventricles • Thick walled chambers separated from the atria by AV valves • Chordae tendineae • Tendinous fibers attached to the AV valves • Papillary muscle and trabeculae carneae • Muscular projections on the inner wall of ventricles
Blood flow through the heart • Right atria • Tricuspid valve • Right ventricle • Pulmonary valve • Pulmonary circuit • Left atria • Bicuspid valve • Left ventricle • Aortic valve • Aorta and systemic circuit

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

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
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

Cardiac Physiology • Two classes of cardiac muscle cells • Specialized muscle cells of the conducting system • Contractile cells
Figure 20.11 An Overview of Cardiac Physiology Figure 20.11
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
Figure 20.12 The Conducting System of the Heart Figure 20.12
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
Figure 20.13 Impulse Conduction through the Heart PLAY Animation: Cardiac Activity Figure 20.13
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
