2 Blood Pathway Through the Heart & Lungs

5 The auricle is a part of each atrium
The auricle is a part of each atrium. A small, cone-shaped, muscular pouch that projects from each atrium, located at the receiving end of the atria. Visually, they look like wrinkled pouch-like structures. Auricles help their respective atria hold more blood. They are called auricles because they were thought to resemble dog's ears. In older references, “auricle” was used to describe the entire atrium.

15 Sequence of Excitation
Figure 17.14a

16 Heart Physiology: Sequence of Excitation
Sinoatrial (SA) node in right atrium generates impulses about 75 times/minute; dominant autorythmic cells; nervous system may regulate Atrioventricular (AV) node delays the impulse approximately 0.1 second Impulse passes from atria to ventricles via the atrioventricular bundle (AV bundle) AV bundle splits into two bundle branches in the interventricular septum Bundle branches carry the impulse toward the apex of the heart Purkinje fibers carry the impulse from the heart apex to the ventricular walls

17 Cardiac Cycle Cardiac cycle refers to all events associated with blood flow through the heart; electrical events, valve activity, heart sounds, chamber contractions and changes in blood pressure Systole – contraction of heart muscle Diastole – relaxation of heart muscle

18 Heart Sounds Heart sounds (lub-dup) are associated with closing of heart valves First sound occurs as AV valves close and signifies beginning of systole Second sound occurs when SL valves close at the beginning of ventricular diastole Heart murmurs-obstruction in the flow of blood, valve irregularity

19 Cardiac Conditioning Exercise will increase cardiac muscle mass
Increased cardiac muscle mass increases the strength of contraction Heart beats less and rests more
