Venous Return Mechanisms:
Skeletal muscle pump, Respiratory pump, Valves, Muscular contractions, gravity, suction of the heart
1 of 22
Cardiac conduction order
SAN,Atrial systole, AVN, Bundle of His, purkinje fibres, ventricular systole
2 of 22
Neural control mechanisms
Baroreceptor(pressure),propioreceptor(movement),chemoreceptors(pH)
3 of 22
Adrenaline
Stress hormone that is released by sympathetic nerves and cardiac nerves during excersise which causes increase in heart rate
4 of 22
Stroke volume
Vol of blood pumped out by the heart by each contraction
5 of 22
Starlings law
increased venous return -> Greater diastolic filling -> cardiac muscle stretched -> more force of contraction -> increased ejection fraction
6 of 22
Cardiac output
Vol of blood pumped out of the heart per min (stroke vol x heart rate)
7 of 22
Heart Rate
No. of times the heart beats per min
8 of 22
Ejection fraction
Fraction of blood ejected from a ventricle per heart beat
9 of 22
Hypertrophy
Enlargement of organ or tissue from the increase in size of its cells
10 of 22
Athletes heart
A larger heart due to lots of cardio training with hypertrophy making the heart larger
11 of 22
Bradycardia
Resting Heart rate below 60 bpm (in adults)
12 of 22
Cardiovascular drift
Increase in HR to compensate for a decrease in stroke volume
13 of 22
Atherosclerosis
Occurs when arteries harden and narrow as they become clogged up by fatty deposits
14 of 22
Atheroma
fatty deposit found in the inner lining of the artery
15 of 22
Angina
Chest pain that occurs when the blood supply through the coronary arteries to the muscles of the heart is restricted
16 of 22
LDL
Low density lipoproteins = bad cholesterol
17 of 22
HDL
High density lipoproteins = good colesterol
18 of 22
Normal blood pressure
120/80
19 of 22
Bohr Shift
When a increase in blood CO2 and a decrease in pH results in a reduction of the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen
20 of 22
Vaso dilation/vasoconstriction
the widening/narrowing of blood vessels to increase/decrease blood flow and move where the blood is going
21 of 22
Arterio-venous difference
The difference beetween the oxygen content of the arterial blood arriving at the muscles and the venous blood leaviing the muscles
22 of 22
