explain the difference between the pulmonary and systemic circulatory
systems - ✔✔Pulmonary circulatory system is the blood that circulates to
and from the lungs. It starts at the R. Ventricle and ends in the L. Atrium.
Systemic circulatory system is the blood that circulates through out the
body. It starts at the L. Ventricle and ends at the R. Atrium.
know the basic chambers of the heart and arteries leaving and veins
returning to the heart. Starting with the vena cava, list the structures blood
passes through on its way to the aorta. - ✔✔deoxygenated blood >
Superior and inferior vena cava > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right
ventricle > pulmonary semilunar valve > pulmonary arteries > lungs >

,oxygenated blood > pulmonary veins > left atrium > bicuspid or mitral
valves > left ventricle > aortic valves > aorta > throughout the body.
explain muscle contraction in cardiac muscle. Figure 14 - 9 - ✔✔contraction
= Action Potential from adjacent cell activates voltage-gated calcium
channels and allows calcium to enter the cell. calcium influx from ECF
induces calcium release through receptor channels on the sarcoplasmic
reticulum and calcium exits the Sr into ICF. calcium then triggers muscle
contraction.
relaxation = calcium binds to troponin and causes muscle relaxation. the
unbounded calcium gets pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
through a energy derived Channel or exchanges with sodium in the ECF
through an antiporter. sodium gradient is then maintained through a
sodium potassium atpase.
what three types of ion channels are involved in the action potential and
cardiac muscle cells? be able to explain which ions are flowing during the
rising plateau and falling phases. figure 14-10 - ✔✔double gated Na+
channels, voltage gated, Ca2+ channels, fast & slow K+ channels

, Rising phase (Phase 0) = sodium channels open causing the influx of
sodium which drives depolarization.
Plateau phase (phase 1-2) = Fast K+ channels close and Ca2+ channels
open. Ca2+influx and less K+ exiting prevents further repolarization
creating a plateau of A.P.
falling phase (phase 3) = calcium channels are close and slow potassium
channels open allowing potassium efflux and Begins the repolarization of
the cell to return the contractile cell back to its resting potential of -90mV.
what prevents tetanus in the cardiac muscle cells? - ✔✔longer refractory
period prevents tetanus in the cardiac muscle cells because it allows the
muscle time to completely relax before it can be stimulated again by
another action potential.
