, Pulmonary and Systemic Circuits -Heart is a simple transport system pump
-2 side-by-side pumps
-Right side of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood from body tissues and
Pumps to lungs to get rid of CO2, pick up oxygen, via pulmonary circuit
-Left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from lungs and Pumps to body
tissues via systemic circuit
Which side of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood Right side
from body tissues and pumps to lungs to get rid of CO2,
pick up oxygen, via pulmonary circuit?
Which side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from Left side
lungs and Pumps to body tissues via systemic circuit?
The cardiac (heart) cycle -The cardiac (heart) cycle is the series of electrical, pressure, volume, flow, and
acoustical events which occur during each heartbeat
-Each cardiac cycle begins with the production of an AP by the SA node and ends
immediately before the production of the next AP
-The length of the cardiac cycle is determined by the heart rate
-Cycle length (sec) = 60/HR
-Cardiac cycle is divided into two parts, systole and diastole
Each cardiac cycle begins with ... and ends .... -Each cardiac cycle begins with the production of an AP by the SA node and ends
immediately before the production of the next AP
The length of the cardiac cycle is determined by the... Heart Rate
-Cycle length (sec) = 60/HR
Cardiac Cycle Length Formula Cycle length (sec) = 60/HR
Cardiac cycle is divided into... -Two parts: Systole and Diastole
Systole -The duration of systole is about 1/3 of the total duration of the cardiac cycle
-Systole is the period during which the ventricles are developing force and
ejecting blood
