100% GUARANTEED PASS
Cardiac Cycle: Systole - correct answer Ventricles contract
Blood pushes against AV valves and they shut
Blood pushes through semilunar valves into aorta and pulmonary trunk
heart pressure measurement - correct answer mmHg
Right side lower
left side higher
Right atrial pressure - correct answer 0-8 mmHg
right ventricle systolic pressure - correct answer Peak systole
15-28 mmHg
right ventricle end diastolic pressure - correct answer end diastole before systole
0-8 mmHg
L atrium pressure - correct answer 4-12 mmHg
Left ventricle systolic pressure - correct answer Peak systole
, 90-140 mmHg
Left ventricle end diastolic pressure - correct answer end diastole before systole
4-12 mmHg
Preload definition - correct answer the end diastolic volume and pressure
dependent on venous return and amount of blood left in ventricle at end of systole
Heart failure > increased preload > decreased stroke volume and build up in pulmonary
circulation
Afterload definition - correct answer resistance that the ventricle must over come during systole
to eject blood into circulation, aortic pressure and systemic vascular resistance
Increased aortic pressure/SVR > increased afterload > ventricular hypertrophy
decreased afterload enables heart to contract faster
Increased afterload slows contractions
myocardial cells - correct answer Working cells of the myocardium that contain contractile
filaments and form the muscular layer of the atrial walls and the thicker muscular layer of the
ventricular walls
arterial blood pressure - correct answer cardiac output x peripheral resistance
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) - correct answer average blood pressure in arteries
depends on elasticity of arterial walls and mean volume of blood in arterials
normal = 70-100 mmHg
Pulse Pressure (PP) - correct answer difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
