CIRCULATORY SYSTEM.pptx (2).pdf
A P wave on an electrocardiogram represents a phase of electrical
activity that causes the atria of the heart to contract.
on the
electrocardiogram
of a healthy
individual.
The P wave is the first wave found
• A healthy P wave is initiated in the sinoatrial
node of the right atrium.
• Action potentials generated at this node spread
throughout the atria.
• This means that the right atrium contracts
slightly earlier than the left atrium.
• The heart conduction pathway in the atria is
composed of the sinoatrial node,
– Thorel’s bundle
• Conducts action potentials from the SA node along
the back of the right atrium
– Wenckebach’s bundle
• Through the right side and front of the right atrium.
– Bachmann’s bundle
• Is an extension of a group of fibers that cross far
into the muscle of the left atrium.
– The atrioventricular node.
Pathology of the Heart
• Damage to AV node = release of ventricles
from control = slower heart beat
• Slower heart beat can lead to fibrillation
• Fibrillation = lack of blood flow to the heart
• Tachycardia = more than 100 beats/min
• Bradychardia = less than 60 beats/min
• Heart conduction and contraction does not
need the brain to function.
• The medulla oblongata of the brainstem
controls how quickly or slowly heart
muscle contracts
• Pacemaker cells should only be found at the
sinoatrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular
node (AVN).
• These cells are the captains of the cardiac
pacemaker.
• Regular (healthy) heart muscle cells do not
display automaticity;
• Ions involved in heart muscle contraction
(sodium, potassium, and calcium) are
imbalanced, regular cardiomyocytes may
also start to generate action potentials.
• P wave: depolarization of the atria. As
gravity helps blood to flow into the
ventricles, less muscle contraction is
required here. This is why the P wave is
smaller than the R and T waves.
• PR interval: a short pause before the QRS
complex
• Q wave: depolarization of the top of the
ventricular septum by the bundle of His. A
small, downward-pointing wave.
• R wave: ventricular depolarization at the
thickest part of the ventricular walls via the
bundle branches – this is why the R wave is
the biggest (more voltage is needed).
• S wave: depolarization in the Purkinje
fibers. Opposite curve direction to R wave
as signals travel from the bottom of the
ventricles and move upwards.
• ST-segment: time required for each
ventricle to completely depolarize (relax)
• T wave: complete repolarization
(relaxation) of the ventricles.
The Heart: Cardiac Cycle
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Atria contract simultaneously
∙ Atria relax, then ventricles contract
∙ Systole = contraction
∙ Diastole = relaxation
Filling of Heart Chambers –
the Cardiac Cycle
Slide

Figure 11.6
The Heart: Cardiac Output
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Cardiac output (CO)
∙Amount of blood pumped by each side of
the heart in one minute
∙CO = (heart rate [HR]) x (stroke volume
[SV])
∙ Stroke volume
∙Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle
in one contraction
Cardiac output, cont.
• CO = HR x SV
• 5250 ml/min = 75 beats/min x 70 mls/beat
• Norm = 5000 ml/min
• Entire blood supply passes through body
once per minute.
• CO varies with demands of the body.
Cardiac Output Regulation
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Figure 11.7
The Heart: Regulation of Heart
Rate
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Stroke volume usually remains relatively
constant
∙Starling’s law of the heart – the more that
the cardiac muscle is stretched, the
stronger the contraction
∙ Changing heart rate is the most
common way to change cardiac output
Regulation of Heart Rate
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Increased heart rate
∙Sympathetic nervous system
∙Crisis
∙Low blood pressure
∙Hormones
∙Epinephrine
∙Thyroxine
∙Exercise
∙Decreased blood volume
The Heart: Regulation of Heart
Rate
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Decreased heart rate
∙Parasympathetic nervous system
∙High blood pressure or blood volume
∙Dereased venous return
∙In Congestive Heart Failure the heart is
worn out and pumps weakly. Digitalis
works to provide a slow, steady, but
stronger beat.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• Decline in pumping efficiency of heart
• Inadequate circulation
• Progressive, also coronary atherosclerosis, high
blood pressure and history of multiple Myocardial
Infarctions
• Left side fails = pulmonary congestion and
suffocation
• Right side fails = peripheral congestion and edema
Blood Vessels: The Vascular
System

system
∙Tunic externa
∙Mostly fibrous connective tissue
Differences Between Blood Vessel
Types
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Walls of arteries are the thickest
∙ Lumens of veins are larger
∙ Skeletal muscle “milks” blood in veins
toward the heart
∙ Walls of capillaries are only one cell
layer thick to allow for exchanges
between blood and tissue
Movement of Blood Through
Vessels
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Most arterial blood is
pumped by the heart
∙ Veins use the milking
action of muscles to
help move blood
Figure 11.9
Capillary Beds
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Capillary beds
consist of two
types of vessels
∙Vascular shunt –
directly connects an
arteriole to a venule
Figure 11.10
Capillary Beds
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙True capillaries –
exchange vessels
∙Oxygen and
nutrients cross to
cells
∙Carbon dioxide
and metabolic
waste products
cross into blood

Vital Signs
• Arterial pulse
• Blood pressure
• Repiratory Rate
• Body Temperature
• All indicate the efficiency of the system
Pulse
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Pulse –
pressure wave
of blood
∙ Monitored at
“pressure
points” where
pulse is easily
palpated
Figure 11.16
Blood Pressure
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Measurements by health professionals
are made on the pressure in large
arteries
∙Systolic – pressure at the peak of
ventricular contraction
∙Diastolic – pressure when ventricles relax
∙ Pressure in blood vessels decreases as
the distance away from the heart
increases

(sympathetic division)
∙ Renal factors
∙Regulation by altering blood volume
∙Renin – hormonal control
Blood Pressure: Effects of Factors
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Temperature
∙Heat has a vasodilation effect
∙Cold has a vasoconstricting effect
∙ Chemicals
∙Various substances can cause increases or
decreases
∙ Diet
Variations in Blood Pressure
Slide
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
∙ Human normal range is variable
∙Normal
∙140–110 mm Hg systolic
∙80–75 mm Hg diastolic
∙Hypotension
∙Low systolic (below 110 mm HG)
∙Often associated with illness
∙Hypertension
∙High systolic (above 140 mm HG)
∙Can be dangerous if it is chronic

  • 46. • Pacemaker cells should only be found at the sinoatrial node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN). • These cells are the captains of the cardiac pacemaker. • Regular (healthy) heart muscle cells do not display automaticity; • Ions involved in heart muscle contraction (sodium, potassium, and calcium) are imbalanced, regular cardiomyocytes may also start to generate action potentials.
  • 47. • P wave: depolarization of the atria. As gravity helps blood to flow into the ventricles, less muscle contraction is required here. This is why the P wave is smaller than the R and T waves. • PR interval: a short pause before the QRS complex
  • 48. • Q wave: depolarization of the top of the ventricular septum by the bundle of His. A small, downward-pointing wave. • R wave: ventricular depolarization at the thickest part of the ventricular walls via the bundle branches – this is why the R wave is the biggest (more voltage is needed).
  • 49. • S wave: depolarization in the Purkinje fibers. Opposite curve direction to R wave as signals travel from the bottom of the ventricles and move upwards. • ST-segment: time required for each ventricle to completely depolarize (relax) • T wave: complete repolarization (relaxation) of the ventricles.
