Circulatory System How does the heart work? Heart beat The heart is myogenic Generates its own electricity Motor nerve Skeletal muscle Heart beat Sinus node Plexus Sinus Node (SA Node) of nerves Initiates contraction of cardiac muscle Atria Heart’s “natural pacemaker” Heart beat AV node Receives Sinus Node (SA Node) Atrioventricular Node (AV Node) impulse from SA Node Delivers impulse to the HisPurkinje System Heart beat Bundle of His Begins Sinus Node (SA Node) Atrioventricular Node (AV Node) Bundle of His conduction to the ventricles Heart beat Purkinje System Bundle Sinus Node (SA Node) Atrioventricular Node (AV Node) Bundle of His Purkinje Fibers branches Purkinje fibers Moves the impulse through the ventricles for contractions Bundle Branches Heart beat SA node both atria contract AV node 0.1 second delay Both ventricles contract Heart beat Pacemaker is controlled by the medulla oblongata Sympathetic nerves can speed heart rate up Noradrenaline Increases rate of cardiac muscle contraction Parasympathetic nerves can slow heart rate down Acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) (neurotransmitter) Decreases rate of cardiac muscle contraction Adrenaline (hormone) may also increase heart beat Heart sounds (lub-dub) 0.1 sec delay results in 2 sounds Results from closing of valves “lub” Recoil of blood against closed AV valves “dub” Recoil of blood against semilunar valves Heart murmur defect in valves causes hissing sound when stream of blood squirts backward through valve Cardiac cycle 1 complete cycle of pumping Heart contracts & pumps Heart relaxes & fills Contraction phase Systole Ventricles pump blood out Relaxation phase Diastole Atria/ventricles fill with blood systolic ________ diastolic pump (peak pressure) _________________ fill (minimum pressure) 110 ____ 70 Measuring of blood pressure High Blood Pressure (hypertension) if top number (systolic pumping) > 150 if bottom number (diastolic filling) > 90 Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) Measures electrical impulse through heart Electrocardiogram – P wave Atrial depolarization Caused by impulse from SA Node Electrocardiogram – PQ segment Delay at AV Node Electrocardiogram – PQ segment Conduction of impulse through Bundle Branches Electrocardiogram – PQ segment Conduction of impulse through Purkinje Fibers Electrocardiogram – QRS wave Ventricular depolarization Ensures synchronized contraction of ventricles Contraction begins at apex Electrocardiogram – ST segment Interval between ventricle depolarization and repolarization Electrocardiogram – T wave Ventricle repolarization Normal EKG activity Putting it all together … Any questions?
