Apex
Structure of Human Heart
❑ Thoracic cavity b/w lungs
❑ Pericardium
❑ Two parts
❑ Outer
❑ inelastic white fibrous tissue
❑ Inner – 2 membranes
❑ Pericardial fluid

Cardiac cycle
Sequence of events which make up one
heart beat
➢Atrial Diastole – blood enters
➢Bicuspid & tricuspid closed
➢Atrial Systole- Atria contract simultaneously
➢Semilunar closed
➢Ventricular systole
➢Close cuspid valve
➢Semilunar open
➢Ventricular diastole
➢High pressure in aorta & pulmonary trunk
➢Closes Semilunar valves
Cardiac cycle
➢Sinoatrial node
➢SINUS VENOSUS
➢
Atrioventrcular node
➢
Conduction system of the heart
AV node
➢ Bundle of His
➢Purkinje fibers
➢Large diameter cardiac
muscle fibers
➢
➢Intercalated disks
➢Gap junctions
Conduction system of the heart
➢ Called Pace make
➢HEART SOUNDS
➢1st low pitched Lub
➢Closure atrioventricular valves

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
• ELECTRICAL IMPULSES
• Depolarization and repolarization
• Instrument electrocardiograph
• Waves P, QRS & T
• P Wave – depolarization of atrial fiber
• P-R interval , from start of P wave & to beginning of QRS
completes
• QRS – Ventricular depolarization
• S-T segment: Period b/w completion of ventricular
depolarization & initiation of repolarization
T wave: Ventricular repolarization
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
USE OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
• Detect arrhythmias
• Conduction defects
❑ Tunica intima
❑ Simple squamous epithelium
❑ Elastic fibers – elastin
❑ Aorta approx. 23 mm diameter
❑ Arterioles 0.2 mm
Capillaries
❑ Endothelial cells
❑ Most 7 to 9 µm diameter
❑ Length 1mm
❑ Branch without change in diameter
❑ RBC – single file
VEINS
❑ Not deep in muscles
❑ Blue under skin
❑ Tunica adventitia
❑ Collagenous connective tissue
❑ Tunica media
❑ Thin layers of smooth muscle
❑ Collagen fibers
❑ Sparsely distributed elastic fibers
❑ Tunica intima
❑ Endothelial cells
❑ Elastic fibers
VEINS
❑ Venules
❑ 40 to 50µm diameter
❑ Endothelium
❑ Collect blood from capillaries
VALVES IN VEINS
❑ Diameter 2 mm
❑ Only lower part
Role of arteries in vasodilation & vasoconstriction
❑ Vasoconstriction
❑ Decrease blood flow
❑ Vasodilation
❑ Increase blood flow
❑ Blood flow controlled vasoconstriction agents on arterioles
❑ Especially Norepinephrine
❑ Epinephrine – Less
❑ Kinins – vasodilator agents
❑ Histamine
❑ Most prostaglandins
❑ Some – vasoconstrictor
Role of precapillary sphincter in regulating blood flow
❑ coronary sinus
❑ Right atrium
Hepatic portal System
Thrombus
Atherosclerosis
❑ Plaque deposition of cholesterol in arteries
❑ Narrowing arteries
❑ Later
❑ Fibers deposited
❑ Start calcify – hard – arteriosclerosis
❑ Plaque – 1st form of thrombus – embolus
Cardiovascular Diseases
Atherosclerosis
MAJOR FACTORS
❑ Hypercholesterolemia
❑ Hypertension
❑ Cigarette smoke
❑ Diabetes mellitus
MINOR FACTORS
❑ Increasing age
❑ Lack of exercise
❑ Stressful competitive life
❑ Obesity
Cardiovascular Diseases
Heart problems
Angina Pectoris
❑ Occasional chest pain
❑ Angina pectoris
❑ Heart labouring hard
❑ Physical or emotional stress
❑ Signal heart part not receiving sufficient O2
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
