Lesson 11.2 Regulation of the Heart Chapter 11: The Cardiovascular System

3
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Sinoatrial node –pacemaker –sends electrical impulse –tells heart to beat 60–100 bpm Internal Control of the Heart
4
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. The cardiac center –sympathetic nerve system speeds up –parasympathetic nerve system slows down The endocrine system –some hormones speed up External Control of the Heart
5
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. SA node AV node bundle of His bundle branches– right and left Purkinje fibers The Conduction System
6
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. ECG or EKG –electrical activity of the heart –depolarize – contract –repolarize – relax Electrocardiogram
7
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. normal contractility condition –sinus rhythm – normal beating of the heart = SA node is contracting normally and bpm is between 60 - 100 abnormal contractility condition –arrhythmia abnormal beating of the heart, too fast or too slow ventricle or atria contraction is not normal Cardiac Arrhythmias
8
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. bradycardia –slow heart beat – rate below 60 bpm (athletes) tachycardia –fast heart beat – rate above 100 bpm premature atrial contraction (PACs) –Irritable piece of atria contracts before SA node (caffeine, stress, stimulants – red bull) Cardiac Arrhythmias
9
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. atrial fibrillation (Afib) –atria contract faster than 350 bpm –atria are not coordinated, they “quiver” –If severe, may need a pacemaker premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) –ventricles contract too soon –Purkinje fibers fire before SA node ventricular tachycardia (VT) –ventricles, rather than SA node, cause beat = lifethreating Cardiac Arrhythmias
10
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. ventricular fibrillation (VF) –ventricles “quiver”, contract faster than 350 bpm –No cardiac output heart block –impulse from SA node to AV node first – impulse delayed second – intermittently blocked third – completely blocked Cardiac Arrhythmias
11
Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.© Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. automatic external defibrillator (AED) –electric shock –stops heart –allows heart to start normal rhythm –anyone can use one Defibrillators and Life-Threatening Arrhythmias
