3 functions of the cardiovascular system

1. oxygen/nutrient delivery

2. removal of carbon dioxide/waste products

3. creates pressure gradient that produces unidirectional blood flow




what are the five stages of the cardiac cycle?

1. late diastole

2. atrial systole

3. isovolumic ventricular contraction

4. ventricular ejection

5. isovolumic ventricular relaxation




what is the position of the heart valves during isovolumic relaxation?

AV and semilunar valves are closed




what is the position of the heart valves during the ventricular filling phase?

,AV valves open, semilunar closed




what are the three phases of ventricular filling?

1. rapid filling

2. reduced filling

3. atrial contraction




the mitral valve closes when...

L. ventricular pressure > left atrial pressure




aortic valve opens when...

L. ventricular pressure > aortic pressure




aortic valve closes when...

L. ventricular pressure < aortic pressure




mitral valve opens when...

L. ventricular pressure < L. atrial pressure




define stroke volume

,the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat




what is the equation for stroke volume?
