Key words - Heart

?
myocardium
helps heart to generate own impulse
1 of 26
pulmonery circuit
top half (lungs)
2 of 26
systematic circuit
bottom half (body)
3 of 26
myogenic
the ability of the heart to generate its own electrical impulse. This allows the heart to contract.
4 of 26
cardiac diastole
relaxation of the cardiac muscle
5 of 26
cardiac systole
contaction of the cardiac muscle
6 of 26
heart rate
the number of cardiac cycles in one minute
7 of 26
what is the efficiency of the cardiac muscle affected by?
fitness, genetics and gender
8 of 26
bradycardia
when your resting heart rate is below 60 bpm
9 of 26
stroke volume
volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle per beat
10 of 26
venous return
volume of blood returning to the heart via the veins
11 of 26
ventricular stretch
amount of stretch in cardiac muscle fibres
12 of 26
cardiac output
volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle per minute
13 of 26
sub - maximal exercise
aerobic (low intensity)
14 of 26
maximal exercise
anaerobic (high intensity)
15 of 26
autonomic nervous system (ANS)
involuntary regulates heart rate and firing off SA node
16 of 26
cardiac control centre (CCC)
recieves information through sensory nerves and sends direction through motor nerves to change HR
17 of 26
chemoreceptors ( neural control)
detect chemical changes in the bloodstream
18 of 26
proprioceptors ( neural control)
motor activity
19 of 26
baroreceptors ( neural control)
increase in blood pressure
20 of 26
intrinsic control
temperature changes, venous return changes
21 of 26
hormonal control
noradrenaline and adrenaline
22 of 26
sympathetic nervous system (accelerator nerve)
increases heart rate and force of contraction
23 of 26
parasympathetic nerve (vagus nerve)
decreases heart rate and force of contraction
24 of 26
arteries / arterioles
transport high pressure oxygenated blood to organs and working muscles
25 of 26
veins / venules
transport low pressure oxygenated blood to the heart
