2 Introduction to Cardiovascular System
The Pulmonary Circuit Carries blood to and from gas exchange surfaces of lungs The Systemic Circuit Carries blood to and from the body Blood alternates between pulmonary circuit and systemic circuit Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

3 The Conducting System Heartbeat A single contraction of the heart
The entire heart contracts in series First the atria Then the ventricles Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

4 The Conducting System A system of specialized cardiac muscle cells
Initiates and distributes electrical impulses that stimulate contraction Automaticity Cardiac muscle tissue contracts automatically Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5 The Conducting System Structures of the Conducting System
Sinoatrial (SA) node - wall of right atrium Atrioventricular (AV) node - junction between atria and ventricles Conducting cells - throughout myocardium Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

21 The Conducting System Contractile Cells
Purkinje fibers distribute the stimulus to the contractile cells, which make up most of the muscle cells in the heart Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

22 The Cardiac Cycle Cardiac cycle = The period between the start of one heartbeat and the beginning of the next Includes both contraction and relaxation Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

23 The Conducting System The Cardiac Cycle
Begins with action potential at SA node Transmitted through conducting system Produces action potentials in cardiac muscle cells (contractile cells) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

24 The Cardiac Cycle Phases of the Cardiac Cycle Within any one chamber
Systole (contraction) Diastole (relaxation) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

25 The Cardiac Cycle 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 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

26 The Cardiac Cycle Eight Steps in the Cardiac Cycle Atrial systole
Atrial contraction begins Right and left AV valves are open Atria eject blood into ventricles Filling ventricles Atrial systole ends AV valves close Ventricles contain maximum blood volume Known as end-diastolic volume (EDV) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

27 The Cardiac Cycle Eight Steps in the Cardiac Cycle Ventricular systole
Isovolumetric ventricular contraction Pressure in ventricles rises AV valves shut Ventricular ejection Semilunar valves open Blood flows into pulmonary and aortic trunks Stroke volume (SV) = 60% of end-diastolic volume Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

28 The Cardiac Cycle Eight Steps in the Cardiac Cycle
Ventricular pressure falls Semilunar valves close Ventricles contain end-systolic volume (ESV), about 40% of end-diastolic volume Ventricular diastole Ventricular pressure is higher than atrial pressure All heart valves are closed Ventricles relax (isovolumetric relaxation) Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

29 The Cardiac Cycle Eight Steps in the Cardiac Cycle
Atrial pressure is higher than ventricular pressure AV valves open Passive atrial filling Passive ventricular filling Cardiac cycle ends The Heart: Cardiac Cycle Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

30 The Cardiac Cycle Blood Pressure In any chamber

The EDV: amount of blood a ventricle contains at the end of diastole Filling time: duration of ventricular diastole Venous return: rate of blood flow during ventricular diastole Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

41 Cardiodynamics The EDV and Stroke Volume At rest With exercise
EDV is low Myocardium stretches less Stroke volume is low With exercise EDV increases Myocardium stretches more Stroke volume increases Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings
