Circulatory System• Three basic components
– Heart• Serves as pump that
establishes the pressure gradient needed for blood to flow to tissues
– Blood vessels• Passageways through which
blood is distributed from heart to all parts of body and back to heart
– Blood • Transport medium within which
materials being transported are dissolved or suspended
• Pulmonary circulation– Closed loop of vessels carrying
blood between heart and lungs• Systemic circulation
– Circuit of vessels carrying blood between heart and other body systems

Circulatory System
• Anatomy– Heart– Hollow, muscular organ about the size of a clenched fist– Positioned between two bony structures – sternum and
vertebrate• Dual pump
– Right and left sides of heart function as two separate pumps
– Divided into right and left halves and has four chambers• Atria
– Upper chambers– Receive blood returning to heart and transfer it to lower
chambers
• Ventricles – Lower chambers which pump blood from heart
![Page 8: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Circulatory System
• Heart
– Arteries• Carry blood away from ventricles to tissues
– Veins• Vessels that return blood from tissues to the atria
– Septum • Continuous muscular partition that prevents mixture of
blood from the two sides of heart

Heart Valves
• Atrioventricular (AV) valves– Right and left AV valves are positioned between
atrium and ventricle on right and left sides– Prevent backflow of blood from ventricles into
atria during ventricular emptying– Right AV valve
• Also called tricuspid valve
– Left AV valve• Also called bicuspid valve or mitral valve
– Chordae tendinae• Fibrous cords which prevent valves from being everted• Papillary muscles
![Page 12: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heart Valves
• Semilunar valves
– Aortic and pulmonary valves
– Lie at juncture where major arteries leave ventricles
– Prevented from everting by anatomic structure and positioning of cusps
• No valves between atria and veins
– Reasons• Atrial pressures usually are not much higher than
venous pressures
• Sites where venae cavae enter atria are partially compressed during atrial contraction

Endocardium
Myocardium
Epicardium
• 3 layers
• Consists of three distinct layers
– Endothelium• Thin inner tissue• Epithelial tissue which lines entire
circulatory system
– Myocardium• Middle layer• Composed of cardiac muscle• Constitutes bulk of heart wall
– Epicardium • Thin external layer which covers the heart
• Pericardium– the fluid filled sac that surrounds the heart
![Page 15: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Heart is enclosed by pericardial sac
• Pericardial sac has two layers
– Tough, fibrous covering
– Secretory lining• Secretes pericardial fluid
– Provides lubrication to prevent friction between pericardial layers
• Pericarditis
– Inflammation of pericardial sac

Outline
• Electrical activity of the heart
– Autorhymicity
– Pacemaker (function, ions)
– Conductive system (SA, AV, bundle of His, Purkinje fibers)
– Abnormal rhythms
– Spread of cardiac excitation
– Cardiac cell action potentials• Characteristics vary by location
![Page 24: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Electrical Activity of Heart
• Heart beats rhythmically as result of action potentials it generates by itself (autorhythmicity)
• Two specialized types of cardiac muscle cells
– Contractile cells• 99% of cardiac muscle cells
• Do mechanical work of pumping
• Normally do not initiate own action potentials
– Autorhythmic cells• Do not contract but send electrical signals to the
contractile cells
• Specialized for initiating and conducting action potentials responsible for contraction of working cells
![Page 25: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Electrical Activity of Heart
• Locations of noncontractile cells capable of autorhymicity– Sinoatrial node (SA node)
• Specialized region in right atrial wall near opening of superior vena cava
• Pacemaker of the heart– Atrioventricular node (AV node)
• Small bundle of specialized cardiac cells located at base of right atrium near septum
– Bundle of His (atrioventricular bundle)• Cells originate at AV node and enters interventricular septum• Divides to form right and left bundle branches which travel
down septum, curve around tip of ventricular chambers, travel back toward atria along outer walls
– Purkinje fibers• Small, terminal fibers that extend from bundle of His and
spread throughout ventricular myocardium
![Page 26: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Specialized Conduction System of Heart
![Page 27: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Electrical Activity of Heart
• Cardiac impulse originates at SA node
• Action potential spreads throughout right and left atria
• Impulse passes from atria into ventricles through AV node (only point of electrical contact between chambers)
• Action potential briefly delayed at AV node (ensures atrial contraction precedes ventricular contraction to allow complete ventricular filling)
• Impulse travels rapidly down interventricular septum by means of bundle of His
• Impulse rapidly disperses throughout myocardium by means of Purkinje fibers
• Rest of ventricular cells activated by cell-to-cell spread of impulse through gap junctions

Electrical Activity of Heart
• Atria contract as single unit followed after brief delay by a synchronized ventricular contraction
• Action potentials of cardiac contractile cells exhibit prolonged positive phase (plateau) accompanied by prolonged period of contraction
– Ensures adequate ejection time
– Plateau primarily due to activation of slow L-type Ca2+ channels
![Page 35: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Electrical Activity of Heart
• Ca2+ entry through L-type channels in T tubules triggers larger release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum
– Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release leads to cross-bridge cycling and contraction
![Page 36: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Electrical Activity of Heart
• Because long refractory period occurs in conjunction with prolonged plateau phase, summation and tetanus of cardiac muscle is impossible
– Ensures alternate periods of contraction and relaxation which are essential for pumping blood
![Page 38: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Record of overall spread of electrical activity through heart
• Represents
– Recording part of electrical activity induced in body fluids by cardiac impulse that reaches body surface
• Not direct recording of actual electrical activity of heart
– Recording of overall spread of activity throughout heart during depolarization and repolarization
• Not a recording of a single action potential in a single cell at a single point in time
– Comparisons in voltage detected by electrodes at two different points on body surface, not the actual potential
• Does not record potential at all when ventricular muscle is either completely depolarized or completely repolarized
![Page 40: Chapter 9 Cardiac Physiology. Human heart. Credit: © L. Bassett/Visuals Unlimited 97935.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649e215503460f94b0de60/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Cardiac Myopathies
• Damage of the heart muscle
– Myocardial ischemia• Inadequate delivery of oxygenated blood to heart tissue
– Necrosis• Death of heart muscle cells
– Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)• Occurs when blood vessel supplying area of heart
becomes blocked or ruptured

Nourishing the Heart Muscle
• Muscle is supplied with oxygen and nutrients by blood delivered to it by coronary circulation, not from blood within heart chambers
• Heart receives most of its own blood supply that occurs during diastole
– During systole, coronary vessels are compressed by contracting heart muscle
• Coronary blood flow normally varies to keep pace with cardiac oxygen needs

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
• Pathological changes within coronary artery walls that diminish blood flow through the vessels
• Leading cause of death in United States
• Can cause myocardial ischemia and possibly lead to acute myocardial infarction
– Three mechanisms• Profound vascular spasm of coronary arteries
• Formation of atherosclerotic plaques
• Thromboembolism
