External Heart: Arteries that Supply
the Heart
• Coronary circulation is the functional blood
supply to the heart muscle itself (i.e. the fuel
for the heart)
• Collateral routes ensure blood delivery to
heart
• even if major vessels are occluded/clogged
Different parts of the heart are supplied by
different coronary artery segments
Heart chambers in geometric
models are subdivided into
perfusion zones using
anatomic knowledge in the
FMA ontology

the Heart (Anterior View)
• External Heart: Major Vessels of
the Heart (Anterior View)
• Vessels returning blood to the heart include:
– Superior and inferior vena cava
– Right and left pulmonary veins
• Vessels conveying blood away from the heart:
– Pulmonary trunk, which splits into right and
– left pulmonary arteries
– Ascending aorta (three branches) –
– brachiocephalic, left common carotid, and
– subclavian arteries

the Heart (Posterior View)
Vessels returning blood to the heart include:
•Right and left pulmonary veins
• Superior and inferior vena cava
• Vessels conveying blood away from the heart
include:
• Aorta
• Right and left pulmonary arteries
FLOW OF BLOOD
• O2-poor blood (S+I VC, Coronary Sinus) enters Rt Atrium
• Travels through Tricuspid Valve into Rt Ventricle
• Pumped out through Pulmonary Semilunar Valve into
Pulmonary trunk (branches into Pulmonary Arteries) and to
lungs
•After circulating through lungs, O2-rich blood returns to the
heart through 4 Pulmonary veins
• The O2-rich blood enters the Left Atrium
• Travels through Bicuspid/Mitral Valve into Left Ventricle
• Pumped out through Aortic Semilunar Valve into Aorta to be
distributed to rest of body by descending aorta and branches
of aortic arch
Pathway of Blood Through the
Heart and Lungs
Right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle >
pulmonary semilunar valve > pulmonary arteries >
Lungs > pulmonary veins > left atrium >
Mitral valve > left ventricle > Left ventricle >
aortic semilunar valve > aorta > systemic circulation
THE PATHWAY OF THE HEART
Cardiovascular Flow of Blood
• HeartArteries(conducting-distributing)
ArteriolesCapillaries of tissues
• At Capillaries O2 is delivered and CO2 picked
up
•CapillariesVenulesVeinsHeart

Cardiac Cycle
Cardiac cycle refers to all
events associated
with blood flow through
the heart
•Systole – contraction of heart muscle
•Diastole – relaxation of heart muscle
Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
• Isovolumetric relaxation – early diastole
• Ventricles relax
• Backflow of blood in aorta and pulmonary trunk closes semilunar valves
• Dicrotic notch – brief rise in aortic pressure caused by backflow of blood. This
backflow
• causes the valve to close and creates a slight
pressure rebound
Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
THE CARDIAC CYCLE
Cardiodynamics
Cardiac output (CO) : the amount of blood
pumped by each ventricle in one minute
•Cardiac output equals heart rate times stroke
volume
Cardiac output (ml/min) =
Heart Rate (HR) (beats/min) X
Stroke Volume (SV) (ml/beat)
Cardiodynamics
Heart rate (HR) : number of heart beats in a
minute
•Stroke volume (SV) – amount of blood
ejected from the ventricles with each beat
•SV = EDV - ESV
Cardiac Output:
Example
CO (ml/min) = HR (75 beats/min) x
SV (70 ml/beat)
•CO = 5250 ml/min (5.25 L/min)
Cardiodynamics
Ventricular pressure increases forcing blood
through the semilunar valves: ventricular
Ejection
•End-systolic volume (ESV)
•Amount of blood that remains in the
ventricles after the contraction and closing of
the semilunar valves
Factors Affecting stroke volume
(EDV-ESV)
EDV (end diastolic volume) is affected by
•Venous return - amount of blood returning to
the heart or blood flow during filling time
•High venous return= high EDV
•Slow heartbeat and exercise increase venous
return to the heart, increasing SV
Factors Affecting stroke volume
(EDV-ESV)
Filling time -duration of ventricular diastole
•Depends on the heart rate
•Blood loss and extremely rapid heartbeat
decrease SV
•The longer the filling time the higher the
EDV will be
Factors Affecting stroke volume
(EDV-ESV)
Preload
• Stretchiness of the ventricles during
Diastole
• Directly proportional to the EDV
• Frank-Starling principle (“more in = more out”)
or increased EDV=increased SV
Factors Affecting stroke volume
(EDV-ESV)
ESV (end systolic volume). It is influenced by:
•Contractility
• Force produced during a contraction
• Positive inotropic (increase Calcium entry)
• Increased sympathetic stimuli
• Certain hormones, some drugs
• Increase SV by decreasing ESV
Factors Affecting stroke volume
(EDV-ESV)
Afterload
•The pressure that must be overcome for the
ventricles to eject blood (back pressure
exerted by blood in the large arteries leaving
the heart)
• Increased afterload will increase ESV and
decrease SV
• Increased by factors that restricts arterial blood
flow

Maximum Heartrate Calculation
(Suggested) MAXIMUM HEARTRATE can be calculated by the
formula:
208 - (0.7)(your age) = normal maximum
heartrate.
Heartrate
Resting heartrate average is variable
depending on ages, sex, weight, etc.
MAXIMUM HEARTRATE used to be
calculated by the formula:
220 - your age = normal maximum
heartrate.
(This is now known to be oversimplified
and incorrect.)

  • 25. FLOW OF BLOOD • O2-poor blood (S+I VC, Coronary Sinus) enters Rt Atrium • Travels through Tricuspid Valve into Rt Ventricle • Pumped out through Pulmonary Semilunar Valve into Pulmonary trunk (branches into Pulmonary Arteries) and to lungs •After circulating through lungs, O2-rich blood returns to the heart through 4 Pulmonary veins • The O2-rich blood enters the Left Atrium • Travels through Bicuspid/Mitral Valve into Left Ventricle • Pumped out through Aortic Semilunar Valve into Aorta to be distributed to rest of body by descending aorta and branches of aortic arch
  • 26. Pathway of Blood Through the Heart and Lungs Right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle > pulmonary semilunar valve > pulmonary arteries > Lungs > pulmonary veins > left atrium > Mitral valve > left ventricle > Left ventricle > aortic semilunar valve > aorta > systemic circulation

  • 38. Cardiac Cycle Cardiac cycle refers to all events associated with blood flow through the heart •Systole – contraction of heart muscle •Diastole – relaxation of heart muscle
  • 39. Phases of the Cardiac Cycle Phases of the Cardiac Cycle • Isovolumetric relaxation – early diastole • Ventricles relax • Backflow of blood in aorta and pulmonary trunk closes semilunar valves • Dicrotic notch – brief rise in aortic pressure caused by backflow of blood. This backflow • causes the valve to close and creates a slight pressure rebound
  • 40. Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
  • 42. Cardiodynamics Cardiac output (CO) : the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute •Cardiac output equals heart rate times stroke volume Cardiac output (ml/min) = Heart Rate (HR) (beats/min) X Stroke Volume (SV) (ml/beat)
  • 43. Cardiodynamics Heart rate (HR) : number of heart beats in a minute •Stroke volume (SV) – amount of blood ejected from the ventricles with each beat •SV = EDV - ESV
  • 44. Cardiac Output: Example CO (ml/min) = HR (75 beats/min) x SV (70 ml/beat) •CO = 5250 ml/min (5.25 L/min)
  • 45. Cardiodynamics Ventricular pressure increases forcing blood through the semilunar valves: ventricular Ejection •End-systolic volume (ESV) •Amount of blood that remains in the ventricles after the contraction and closing of the semilunar valves
  • 46. Factors Affecting stroke volume (EDV-ESV) EDV (end diastolic volume) is affected by •Venous return - amount of blood returning to the heart or blood flow during filling time •High venous return= high EDV •Slow heartbeat and exercise increase venous return to the heart, increasing SV
  • 47. Factors Affecting stroke volume (EDV-ESV) Filling time -duration of ventricular diastole •Depends on the heart rate •Blood loss and extremely rapid heartbeat decrease SV •The longer the filling time the higher the EDV will be
  • 48. Factors Affecting stroke volume (EDV-ESV) Preload • Stretchiness of the ventricles during Diastole • Directly proportional to the EDV • Frank-Starling principle (“more in = more out”) or increased EDV=increased SV
  • 49. Factors Affecting stroke volume (EDV-ESV) ESV (end systolic volume). It is influenced by: •Contractility • Force produced during a contraction • Positive inotropic (increase Calcium entry) • Increased sympathetic stimuli • Certain hormones, some drugs • Increase SV by decreasing ESV
  • 50. Factors Affecting stroke volume (EDV-ESV) Afterload •The pressure that must be overcome for the ventricles to eject blood (back pressure exerted by blood in the large arteries leaving the heart) • Increased afterload will increase ESV and decrease SV • Increased by factors that restricts arterial blood flow

  • 63. Intrinsic regulation of heart beat 1. Sinoatrial node is PACEMAKER OF HEART, and beginning of process. Geenrates periodic impulses that initiate contraction of right atrium. 2. Signal then runs to Atrioventricular node. Message is passed along a track of Purkinje fibers called the... 3. Atrioventricular bundle. Atrioventricular bundle then splits into right and left limbs/branches that pass to individual inner ventricular walls on right and left.
  • 66. Maximum Heartrate Calculation (Suggested) MAXIMUM HEARTRATE can be calculated by the formula: 208 - (0.7)(your age) = normal maximum heartrate.
  • 67. Heartrate Resting heartrate average is variable depending on ages, sex, weight, etc. MAXIMUM HEARTRATE used to be calculated by the formula: 220 - your age = normal maximum heartrate. (This is now known to be oversimplified and incorrect.)
