KINESIOLOGY CARDIOVASCULAR ANATOMY AND FUNCTION
Major Cardiovascular Functions w Delivery w Removal w Transport w Maintenance w Prevention
BLOOD FLOW THROUGH THE HEART • After blood has left the lungs, which chamber of the heart does it enter? • Where does the left ventricle pump blood to? • Which chamber of the heart does blood return to that has been through the systemic system?
Cardiovascular System • Pulmonary Circuit • To the lungs and back • Systemic Circuit • To the rest of the body and back
THE CHAMBERS OF THE HEART w The atria are smaller than the ventricles w Why is the left ventricle thicker than the right ventricle?
INTERCALATED DISKS • What are intercalated disks and what is their function?
THE INTRINSIC CONDUCTION SYSTEM • What is the function of the SA node? • What is the function of the AV node? • The AV bundle (bundle of His)? • Bundle branches: right and left? • Purkinje fibers?
Electrocardiogram (ECG) w Depolarization and Repolarization. What are they? w Electrical activity of the heart increases during both w The P wave? w The QRS complex? w The T wave?
PHASES OF THE RESTING ECG Atrial repolarization
CONTROL OF THE HEART w Parasympathetic Nervous System. wSympathetic Nervous System. w Epinephrine and norepinephrine.
CARDIAC TERMS • Heart Rate (40 million beats per year) • Bradycardia • Tachycardia • Stroke Volume • Cardiac Output (1,400 gallons a day) • Cardiac Cycle (next slide)
CARDIAC CYCLE w Events that occur between two consecutive heartbeats (systole to systole) wSystole? wDiastole?
THE VASCULAR SYSTEM w Arteries w Arterioles w Capillaries w Venules w Veins 100,000 miles of blood vessels
CORONARY ARTERIES • Right Anterior Descending Artery • Left Anterior Descending Artery • Circumflex Artery
THE BLOOD • Red Blood Cells • Hematocrit • Blood Pressure
Red Blood Cells Hemaglobin
Blood Pressure w Systolic and Diastolic. What’s the difference? w What is a normal systolic blood pressure reading? w What is a normal diastolic blood pressure reading?
