SAMPLE Disclaimer: Use this materials to help you in your studies. Add on additional materials which you think these notes are not adequate in explaining. Please note that I have not included any diagrams for the different body system. Those diagrams are very important (for example, the upper respiratory tract and GI etc.) which you should learn to recognize the important components of these systems. Describe the general organization of the cardiovascular system. System: Cardiovascular system Organs: Heart, arteries, veins, capillaries Tissue : Connective tissue, muscle (cardiac muscle and smooth muscle aligning arteries, veins and capillaries) Cell : Epithelial cells making the blood vessels, muscle fibers Orientate the heart within the thorax. Located in Mediastinum, 2nd to 6th ribs Anterior of heart:sternum, posterior: 6th to 8th cervicle vertebrae 2/3 mass lies to left, 1/3 right, lies on diaphragm Describe the chambered structure of the heart and relate this to the pumping action of the organ. 4 chambers: 2 atria 2 ventricles Atria – receiving chambers, receive from veins, pump to ventricles Ventricles – pumping chambers, receive from atria, pump to arteries Ventricles require to move blood a greater distance hence thicker myocardial wall.** Name the layers of the heart wall. Tunica intima, tunica media and tunica adventitia/externa ** Describe the heart valves & relate this to the flow of blood through the heart chambers. AV valves: Tricuspid(right atria), Bicuspid(left atria) SL valves: Pulmonary valve(right ventricle), Aortic valve(left ventricle) Cusp anchored to papillary muscle by chordae tendinae Valves important to allow unidirectional blood flow, does not allow to go 2 ways and only can go through the desired way SAMPLE Identify the vessels of the cardiac circulation. Arteries arterioles > gas exchange in capillaries > venules veins Arteries progress to become arterioles (resistance vessels), arterioles come to capillary and connect to venules then veins (finally reach vena cava) Compare and contrast the structural features of cardiac muscle with that of skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle: Short, fat branched cells, one/two nuclei, centrally located nuclei, organelles at poles, interconnected with neighbour cells by intercalated discs Skeletal muscle: long, composed of sarcomeres (actin and myosin filaments), multinucleate, nuclei at periphery Name the major arteries and veins within the body. Need to know the aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, brachial artery and vein, carotid arteries, jugular veins, subclavian arteries **** question: what are the 3 branches of the brachiocephalic trunk? Describe the layered structure of blood vessels.** Tunica intima: composed of endothelium and internal elastic lamina Tunica media: Smooth muscle to change the diameter of the blood vessels when necessary Tunica externa: wrap around tunica media Compare the structures of arteries with that of veins and lymph channels. Arteries no valves; veins and lymph have valves Know the direction in which blood flows through the circulation. Veins bring deoxygenated blood into heart ** Right atrium right ventricle pulmonary arteries lungs pulmonary veins left atrium left ventricle body blood vessels except lungs Pulmonary circulation in series sequence with systemic circulation ** Regional systemic circulation parallel with one another ** Understand how unidirectional blood flow is achieved. Achieved by valves. The valves make sure that the blood goes in a specific way. Identify the two most important haemodynamic factors that affect blood flow. **** Q = change in P/R where Q is blood flow, P = pressure and R = resistance SAMPLE The factors: pressure and resistance Understand what is meant by the statement that “the heart is two pumps in series”. ** Right pump and left pump (pump = atrium+ventricle) in series with each other. The heart is made of 2 pumps (right and left). Both pumps are in series ie. right pump arteries capillaries veins left pump (know for terms test) Know key phases of the cardiac cycle and accurately define the terms ‘systole’ and ‘diastole’.***** Cardiac cycle – complete heartbeat Systole – Contraction of the heart Diastole – Relaxation of the heart In cardiac cycle: systole has 3 phases 1. Atrial systole contraction of left and right atria and as atria contract, this creates increase pressure to push additional blood into ventricle 2. Isovolumetric ventricular contraction volume of blood in ventricle does not change but as ventricle contract, this push the pressure up (pressure increase in preparation for ejection of blood out of ventricle) 3. Ejection eject blod out of ventricle Diastole has 2 phases 4. Isovolumetric ventricular relaxation heart relaxes, volume of ventricle stays the same and pressure decreases in ventricle 5. Passive ventricular filling blood passively enters the heart (no contraction whatsoever) Correctly identify four measurements taken from the blood pressure wave. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, pulse, mean arterial pressure Identify the key functional difference between contractile and electrical cells of the heart. Electrical no myosin and actin, conduct action potential Contractile has myosin and actin, contract Gap junctions for both these cells Know the key parts of the electrical conduction pathway of the heart. SA node, AV node, Interventricular bundle/bundle of His, Purkinje fibers, interartrial bundle and internodal bundle
