11.4 The Cardiac Cycle and Circulation Pages 495-500
Heart Facts • Right side of heart pumps blood to the lungs • Left side of heart pumps blood to the body
Beats • 100 000 times each day
Pericardium • 2-layered fluid-filled membrane for protection
Coronary blood vessels • Supplies heart muscle with blood • Meet high O2 demand of heart (10% of total O2)
Pathway of blood • Body right atrium right ventricle pulmonary artery lungs pulmonary vein left atrium left ventricle aorta body
Blood vessels • Heart arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins heart
Valves Semilunar valves between • Right ventricle and pulmonary artery • Left ventricle and aorta Atrioventricular valves between Atria and ventricles Bicuspid (left), tricuspid (right)
Purpose of valves • Valves prevent blood from travelling backwards
Cardiac cycle • Diastole: period of relaxation and filling of the heart • Systole: period of contraction and emptying of the heart
Atria fill, AV and SL valves are closed • AV open, blood spills into ventricles • Atria contract, filling ventricles • Ventricles begin to contract, AV forced shut, SL remain shut. • Ventricles contract, SL forced open, blood pushed into arteries
Sounds lubb-Dubb • lubb…AV valves close as ventricles contract • Dubb…SL valves slam shut as ventricles begin to relax
Myogenic Muscle • Heart beat originates in the muscle tissue itself • Sinoatrial (SA) node (pacemaker) • Atrioventricular (AV) node ( • Purkinje fibres…conducting nerves
Nervous Systems • Sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) • Parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest)
Electrocardiograph • ECG P-SA node stimulus QRS complex- stimulus via Purkinje fibres T-recovery period
