2. The pumping of the heart sends out blood under pressure to the arteries.
Blood pressure is greatest in the aorta; the wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle and pumps blood to the entire body.
Blood pressure then decreases as the cross-sectional area of arteries and then arterioles increases.

3. Path of blood through the heart

4. Cardiac cycle
The cardiac cycle refers to the repeating pattern of contraction and relaxation of the heart. The phase of contraction is called systole, and the phase of relaxation is called diastole.
When these terms are used without reference to specific chambers, they refer to contraction and relaxation of the ventricles. It should be noted, however, that the atria also contract and relax. There is an atrial systole and diastole. Atrial contraction occurs toward the end of diastole, when the ventricles are relaxed; when the ventricles contract during systole, the atria are relaxed.

6. Cardiac Output Volume of blood pumped per unit time from the ventricle
In mammals this is the volume ejected from either the left or right ventricle, not the combined total
Volume of blood ejected per beat is the stroke volume
Stroke volume determined by dividing cardiac output by heart rate

7. Frank Starling Mechanism
increased work due to increased EDV based on increased venous filling pres sure and the con current length-tension changes in cardiac muscle

8. The Heartbeat Each heartbeat is called a cardiac cycle.
When the heart beats, the two atria contract together, then the two ventricles contract; then the whole heart relaxes.
The heart sounds, lub-dup, are due to the closing of the atrioventricular valves, followed by the closing of the semilunar valves.

9. Heart rate - Normal range is 60-100 beats per minute
- Tachycardia is greater than 100 bpm
- Bradycardia is less than 60 bpm
- Sympathetic system INCREASES HR
- Parasympathetic system (Vagus) DECREASES HR (CBQ)

10. Intrinsic Control of Heartbeat
The SA (sinoatrial) node, or pacemaker, initiates the heartbeat and causes the atria to contract on average every 0.85 seconds.
The AV (atrioventricular) node conveys the stimulus and initiates contraction of the ventricles.
The signal for the ventricles to contract travels from the AV node through the atrioventricular bundle to the smaller Purkinje fibers.

11. Conduction system of the heart

12. Extrinsic Control of Heartbeat
A cardiac control center in the medulla oblongata speeds up or slows down the heart rate by way of the autonomic nervous system branches: parasympathetic system (slows heart rate) and the sympathetic system (increases heart rate).
Hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla also stimulate faster heart rate.

13. ECG
The way of excitation which spreads through the heard wall consists of changes in the electrical activity of the membrane of cardiac muscle cells. Like nerve and skeletal muscle, the outer surface of active cardiac muscle is electrically negative to the resting cardiac muscle ahead of the zone of excitation. The electrical currents generate lines of force similar to those produced by a magnet and are conducted through the salty water-like body fluids to the surface of the body and can be received, amplified and recorded by electrodes of an instrument – an electrocardiograph. The record obtained is an electrocardiogram (ECG).

14. The Electrocardiogram
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a recording of the electrical changes that occur in the myocardium during a cardiac cycle.
Atrial depolarization creates the P wave, ventricle depolarization creates the QRS wave, and repolarization of the ventricles produces the T wave.
