IB Assessment Statement 6.2.3 Explain the action of the heart in terms of collecting blood, pumping blood, and opening and closing valves. Instructions 1. Open the application skitch on your computer. 2. Make a cycle flow chart of the flow of blood out the heart and body. 3. ☐Squares should represent parts (chambers, heart blood vessels) of the heart. 4. Circles should represent valves 5. Δ Triangles should represent capillaries of the body (lung capillaries, body capillaries) 6. Blue lines with arrows should connect low oxygen areas, and show the correct sequence and direction of blood flow 7. Red lines with arrows should connect high oxygen areas, and show the correct sequence and direction of blood flow 8. Please include the following. a. Lung capillaries. b. Pulmonary vien c. Left atrioventricle valve d. Right atrioventricle valve e. Pulmonary artery f. Right atrium g. Left atrium h. Aorta i. Vena cava j. Right ventricle k. Left ventricle l. Body capillaries m. Right semilunar valves n. Left semilunar valves.

GHB 2006 Make one for the Left side NOW for another group GHB 2006 Triggering Contraction Oops! Supply the words which have been obscured. Muscle contracts when excited by an electrical signal called an action potential. Cardiac muscle is myogenic – it can generate its own action potential. (Skeletal muscle is neurogenic – the impulse comes from the nerves.) The action potential starts in a patch of muscle in the right atrium called the sino-atrial node or SAN. The SAN produces an action potential about 70 times each minute. This action potential then rapidly spreads through the walls of the atria, causing them to contract. A band of non-conducting fibrous tissue prevents the action potential form spreading directly form the atria to the ventricles. The only path for the action potential is via a patch of tissue called the atrio-ventricular node (the AVN), then through conducting fibres called the Purkyne fibres. These fibres conduct the action potential rapidly down through the septum – it then spreads upwards through the walls of the ventricles, so the ventricles contract from the bottom up. As conduction through the AVN is slow, there is a 0.12 to 0.20 second delay between the start of atrial contraction and the start of ventricular contraction. GHB 2006
