The Pulmonary Circuit
• Carries blood to and from gas exchange surfaces of lungs
The Systemic Circuit• Carries blood to and from the body Alternating Circuits• Blood alternates between
pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit
![Page 5: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3 Types of Blood Vessels
• Arteries:– carry blood away from heart
• Veins:– carry blood to heart
• Capillaries:– networks between arteries and veins
![Page 6: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Capillaries
• Also called exchange vessels • Exchange materials between blood
and tissues• Dissolved gases, nutrients, wastes
![Page 7: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
4 Chambers of the Heart
• 2 for each circuit:– left and right: ventricles and atria
• Right atrium:– collects blood from systemic circuit
• Right ventricle:– pumps blood to pulmonary circuit
![Page 8: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Atrioventricular (AV) Valves
• Connect right atrium to right ventricle and left atrium to left ventricle
• Permit blood flow in 1 direction: – atria to ventricles
Septa – • Interatrial septum:
– separates atria
• Interventricular septum:– separates ventricles
![Page 24: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Vena Cava
• Delivers systemic circulation to right atrium • Superior vena cava:
– receives blood from head, neck, upper limbs, and chest
• Inferior vena cava: – receives blood from trunk, and viscera, lower
limbs
Coronary Sinus• Cardiac veins return blood to coronary sinus • Coronary sinus opens into right atrium
![Page 25: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Foramen Ovale
• Before birth, is an opening through interatrial septum
• Connects the 2 atria• Seals off at birth, forming fossa
ovalis
![Page 26: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cusps - Fibrous flaps that form bicuspid (2) and tricuspid (3)
valves- Prevent valve from opening
backward Right Atrioventricular (AV) Valve• Also called tricuspid valve• Opening from right atrium to right
ventricle • Has 3 cusps• Prevents backflow
![Page 27: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Pulmonary Circuit
• Conus arteriosus (superior right ventricle) leads to pulmonary trunk
• Pulmonary trunk divides into left and right pulmonary arteries
• Blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary trunk through pulmonary valve
• Pulmonary valve has 3 semilunar cusps
![Page 28: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Return from Pulmonary Circuit
• Blood gathers into left and right pulmonary veins
• Pulmonary veins deliver to left atrium
• Blood from left atrium passes to left ventricle through left atrioventricular (AV) valve
• 2-cusp bicuspid valve or mitral valve
![Page 29: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Left Ventricle• Holds same volume as right ventricle• Is larger; muscle is thicker, and more
powerful• Similar internally to right ventricle,
but does not have moderator band Systemic circulation:
– blood leaves left ventricle through aortic valve into ascending aorta
– ascending aorta turns (aortic arch) and becomes descending aorta
![Page 30: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Left and Right Ventricles
• Have significant structural differences
• Right ventricle wall is thinner, develops less pressure than left ventricle
• Right ventricle is pouch-shaped, left ventricle is round
Figure 20–7
![Page 31: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Heart Valves• One-way valves prevent
backflow during contraction
• (AV) Valves- between atria and ventricles
• Blood pressure closes valve cusps during ventricular contraction
• Papillary muscles tense chordae tendineae:– prevent valves from swinging
into atria• Regurgitation -Failure of
valves• Causes backflow of blood
into atria Figure 20–8
![Page 32: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Semilunar Valves
• Pulmonary and aortic tricuspid valves
• Prevent backflow from pulmonary trunk and aorta into ventricles
• Have no muscular support• 3 cusps support like tripod
![Page 33: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Aortic Sinuses - at base of ascending aorta
• Prevent valve cusps from sticking to aorta
• Origin of right and left coronary arteries
Carditis - An inflammation of the heart• Can result in valvular heart disease
(VHD): e.g., rheumatic fever
![Page 34: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
KEY CONCEPT • The heart has 4 chambers:
– 2 for pulmonary circuit:• right atrium and right ventricle
– 2 for systemic circuit:• left atrium and left ventricle
• Left ventricle has a greater workload• Is much more massive than right ventricle,
but the two chambers pump equal amounts of blood
• AV valves prevent backflow from ventricles into atria
• Semilunar valves prevent backflow from aortic and pulmonary trunks into ventricles
![Page 35: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Connective Tissue Fibers of the Heart
1. Physically support cardiac muscle fibers
2. Distribute forces of contraction3. Add strength and prevent
overexpansion of heart4. Elastic fibers return heart to
original shape after contraction
![Page 36: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Blood Supply to the Heart• Coronary circulation
Figure 20–9
![Page 37: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Coronary Circulation
• Coronary arteries-Left and right Originate at aortic sinuses• High blood pressure, elastic rebound
force blood through coronary arteries between contractions
• cardiac veins• Supplies blood to muscle tissue of heart
![Page 38: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Right Coronary Artery
• Supplies blood to:– right atrium– portions of both ventricles– cells of sinoatrial (SA) and
atrioventricular nodes – marginal arteries (surface of right
ventricle)– posterior interventricular artery
![Page 39: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Left Coronary Artery
• Supplies blood to:– left ventricle– left atrium– interventricular septum
• 2 main branches:– circumflex artery – anterior interventricular artery
![Page 40: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Cardiac Veins• Great cardiac vein:
– drains blood from area of anterior interventricular artery into coronary sinus
• Anterior cardiac vein:– empties into right atrium
• Posterior cardiac vein, middle cardiac vein, and small cardiac vein:– empty into great cardiac vein or coronary
sinus
![Page 41: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

The Cardiac CycleThe HeartbeatA single contraction of the heartThe entire heart contracts in series:
first the atriathen the ventricles
![Page 42: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2 Types of Cardiac Muscle Cells• Conducting system:
– controls and coordinates heartbeat
• Contractile cells:– produce contractions
* The Cardiac Cycle begins with action potential at SA node– transmitted through conducting system– produces action potentials in cardiac muscle
cells (contractile cells)
• Electrical events in the cardiac cycle can be recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG)
![Page 43: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

The Conducting System
![Page 44: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Conducting System
• A system of specialized cardiac muscle cells:– initiates and distributes electrical
impulses that stimulate contraction
• Automaticity:– cardiac muscle tissue contracts
automatically
![Page 45: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Structures of the Conducting System
• Sinoatrial (SA) node• Atrioventricular (AV) node • Conducting cells
![Page 46: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Conducting Cells
• Interconnect SA and AV nodes• Distribute stimulus through
myocardium• In the atrium:
– internodal pathways
• In the ventricles:– AV bundle and bundle branches
![Page 47: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Prepotential
• Also called pacemaker potential• Resting potential of conducting
cells:– gradually depolarizes toward
threshold
• SA node depolarizes first, establishing heart rate
![Page 48: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Heart Rate
• SA node generates 80–100 action potentials per minute
• Parasympathetic stimulation slows heart rate
• AV node generates 40–60 action potentials per minute
![Page 49: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

The Atrioventricular (AV) Node
• In floor of right atrium• Receives impulse from SA node
(Step 2)• Delays impulse (Step 3)• Atrial contraction begins
![Page 52: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The AV Bundle
• In the septum• Carries impulse to left and right bundle
branches:– which conduct to Purkinje fibers (Step 4)
• And to the moderator band:– which conducts to papillary muscles 4. The Purkinje Fibers
• Distribute impulse through ventricles (Step 5)
• Atrial contraction is completed• Ventricular contraction begins
![Page 53: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Abnormal Pacemaker Function
• Bradycardia:– abnormally slow heart rate
• Tachycardia:– abnormally fast heart rate
Ectopic Pacemaker:• Abnormal cells • Generate high rate of action potentials• Bypass conducting system• Disrupt ventricular contractions
![Page 54: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Time Intervals• P–R interval:
– from start of atrial depolarization– to start of QRS complex
• Q–T interval:– from ventricular depolarization– to ventricular repolarization Cardiac Arrhythmias – Abnormal patterns of cardiac electrical
activity
![Page 57: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
KEY CONCEPT • Heart rate is normally established by cells
of SA node• Rate can be modified by autonomic
activity, hormones, and other factors• From the SA node, stimulus is conducted
to AV node, AV bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers before reaching ventricular muscle cells
• Electrical events associated with the heartbeat can be monitored in an electrocardiogram (ECG)
![Page 58: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
What events take place during an action
potential in cardiac muscle?
![Page 59: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Action Potentials in Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle
Figure 20–15
![Page 60: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Resting Potential
• Of a ventricular cell:– about —90 mV
• Of an atrial cell:– about —80 mV
![Page 61: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
3 Steps of Cardiac Action Potential
1. Rapid depolarization: – voltage-regulated sodium channels
(fast channels) open
![Page 62: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
3 Steps of Cardiac Action Potential
2. As sodium channels close:– voltage-regulated calcium channels
(slow channels) open– balance Na+ ions pumped out– hold membrane at 0 mV plateau
![Page 63: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
3 Steps of Cardiac Action Potential
3. Repolarization: – plateau continues– slow calcium channels close– slow potassium channels open– rapid repolarization restores resting
potential
![Page 64: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The Refractory Periods
• Absolute refractory period:– long – cardiac muscle cells cannot respond
• Relative refractory period:– short– response depends on degree of
stimulus
![Page 65: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Timing of Refractory Periods
• Length of cardiac action potential in ventricular cell:– 250–300 msecs
• 30 times longer than skeletal muscle fiber
• long refractory period prevents summation and tetany
![Page 66: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Contraction of a cardiac muscle cell is produced by an
increase in calcium ion concentration around
myofibrils 1. 20% of calcium ions required for a
contraction:– calcium ions enter cell membrane
during plateau phase
2. Arrival of extracellular Ca2+:– triggers release of calcium ion
reserves from sarcoplasmic reticulum
![Page 67: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Intracellular and Extracellular Calcium
• As slow calcium channels close:– intracellular Ca2+ is absorbed by the
SR– or pumped out of cell
• Cardiac muscle tissue:– very sensitive to extracellular Ca2+
concentrations
![Page 68: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
The Cardiac Cycle
• The period between the start of 1 heartbeat and the beginning of the next
• Includes both contraction and relaxation
2 Phases of the Cardiac Cycle:• Within any 1 chamber:
– systole (contraction)– diastole (relaxation)
![Page 69: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Blood Pressure
• In any chamber:– rises during systole– falls during diastole
• Blood flows from high to low pressure:– controlled by timing of contractions– directed by one-way valves
![Page 70: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
Figure 20–16
![Page 71: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
4 Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
1. Atrial systole2. Atrial diastole3. Ventricular systole 4. Ventricular diastole
![Page 72: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Cardiac Cycle and Heart Rate
• At 75 beats per minute:– cardiac cycle lasts about 800 msecs
• When heart rate increases:– all phases of cardiac cycle shorten,
particularly diastole
![Page 73: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Pressure and Volume in the Cardiac Cycle
• 8 steps in the cardiac cycle
Figure 20–17
![Page 74: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
8 Steps in the Cardiac Cycle1. Atrial systole:
– atrial contraction begins– right and left AV valves are open
2. Atria eject blood into ventricles:– filling ventricles
3. Atrial systole ends: – AV valves close– ventricles contain maximum volume– end-diastolic volume (EDV)
4. Ventricular systole:– isovolemic ventricular contraction– pressure in ventricles rises– AV valves shut
![Page 75: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
8 Steps in the Cardiac Cycle5. Ventricular ejection:
– semilunar valves open– blood flows into pulmonary and aortic
trunks
• Stroke volume (SV) = 60% of end-diastolic volume
6. Ventricular pressure falls:– semilunar valves close– ventricles contain end-systolic volume
(ESV), about 40% of end-diastolic volume
![Page 76: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
8 Steps in the Cardiac Cycle
7. Ventricular diastole: – ventricular pressure is higher than
atrial pressure– all heart valves are closed– ventricles relax (isovolumetric
relaxation)
8. Atrial pressure is higher than ventricular pressure:
– AV valves open– passive atrial filling – passive ventricular filling– cardiac cycle ends
![Page 77: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Heart Failure
• Lack of adequate blood flow to peripheral tissues and organs due to ventricular damage
![Page 78: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Aerobic Energy of Heart
• From mitochondrial breakdown of fatty acids and glucose
• Oxygen from circulating hemoglobin
• Cardiac muscles store oxygen in myoglobin
![Page 82: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Stroke Volume
• Volume (ml) of blood ejected per beat
Figure 20–19
![Page 83: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Cardiac Output
• Cardiac output (CO) ml/min = • Heart rate (HR) beats/min • Stroke volume (SV) ml/beat
![Page 84: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Overview: Control of Cardiac Output
Figure 20–20 (Navigator)
![Page 85: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Adjusting to Conditions
• Cardiac output:– adjusted by changes in heart rate or
stroke volume• Heart rate:
– adjusted by autonomic nervous system or hormones
• Stroke volume:– adjusted by changing EDV or ESV
![Page 86: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
What variables influence heart rate? Autonomic Innervation

Autonomic Pacemaker Regulation
Figure 20–22
![Page 88: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Autonomic Pacemaker Regulation
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation:– greatest at SA node (heart rate)
• Membrane potential of pacemaker cells:lower than other cardiac cells
• Rate of spontaneous depolarization depends on:– resting membrane potential– rate of depolarization
• ACh (parasympathetic stimulation):– slows the heart
• NE (sympathetic stimulation):– speeds the heart
![Page 89: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Atrial Reflex
• Also called Bainbridge reflex• Adjusts heart rate in response to
venous return• Stretch receptors in right atrium:
– trigger increase in heart rate– through increased sympathetic
activity
![Page 90: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Hormonal Effects on Heart Rate
• Increase heart rate (by sympathetic stimulation of SA node):– epinephrine (E)– norepinephrine (NE)– thyroid hormone
![Page 91: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Factors Affecting Stroke Volume• Changes in EDV or ESV
Figure 20–23 (Navigator)
2 Factors Affect EDV-1. Filling time:
duration of ventricular diastole
2. Venous return: rate of blood flow during ventricular diastole
What variables influence stroke volume?
![Page 92: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Preload
• The degree of ventricular stretching during ventricular diastole
• Directly proportional to EDV• Affects ability of muscle cells to
produce tension
![Page 93: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
EDV, Preload, and Stroke Volume
• At rest:– EDV is low– myocardium stretches less– stroke volume is low
• With exercise:– EDV increases– myocardium stretches more– stroke volume increases
• As EDV increases, stroke volume increases
![Page 94: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Physical Limits
• Ventricular expansion is limited by:– myocardial connective tissue– the fibrous skeleton– the pericardial sac
End-Systolic Volume (ESV)• The amount of blood that remains
in the ventricle at the end of ventricular systole is the ESV
![Page 95: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
3 Factors that Affect ESV
1. Preload:– ventricular stretching during diastole
2. Contractility:– force produced during contraction, at a
given preload
3. Afterload:– tension the ventricle produces to open
the semilunar valve and eject blood
![Page 96: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Contractility is affected by:autonomic activity &
hormones : • Sympathetic stimulation:
– NE released by postganglionic fibers of cardiac nerves
– epinephrine and NE released by adrenal medullae
– causes ventricles to contract with more force– increases ejection fraction and decreases ESV
• Parasympathetic activity:– acetylcholine released by vagus nerves– reduces force of cardiac contractions
![Page 97: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Hormones and Contractility
• Many hormones affect heart contraction
• Pharmaceutical drugs mimic hormone actions: – stimulate or block beta receptors– affect calcium ions e.g., calcium
channel blockers
![Page 98: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Afterload
• Is increased by any factor that restricts arterial blood flow
• As afterload increases, stroke volume decreases
![Page 99: Chapter 20: The Heart Biol 141 A& P R.L. Brashear-Kaulfers](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551c2dca550346a84f8b61e5/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
