The Ventricles
• The ventricles pump the blood from the heart
• Right ventricle pumps to the lungs to be oxygenated
• Left ventricle pumps into the aorta to deliver blood to the body

Coronary vessels• Consists of arteries
• Blood is supplied to the tissues of the heart by the first two branches of the aorta--right and left coronary arteries.
• Left coronary artery has 2 branches : circumflex and left anterior descending

Coronary Sinus
• Most of the cardiac veins drain into coronary sinus, which lies in the atrioventricular groove.
• It is 2-3 cm long and end in the right atrium

Blood Flow Through the Heart
• The heart has four chambers. The right and left sides of the heart are separated by a muscular wall (septum). This prevents blood without oxygen from mixing with blood that contains oxygen. The heart also contains valves that separate the chambers and connect to major blood vessels.
![Page 15: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Normally blood flows from the body into the right upper heart chamber. The blood on the right side of the heart has been used by the body and contains little oxygen (oxygen-poor).
• The oxygen-poor blood flows from the right upper heart chamber through the valve to the right lower chamber.
• From the right lower heart chamber, blood is pumped through the valve into the blood vessel that goes to the lungs (pulmonary artery). This blood then picks up oxygen (oxygenated).
![Page 16: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs through blood vessels (pulmonary veins) back to the heart's upper left chamber.
From the upper left heart chamber, blood goes through the valve and into the lower left chamber.
The lower left heart chamber pumps blood through the valve to a major blood vessel (aorta) and to the body.
The blood delivers oxygen to the body. Blood is then returned to the upper right heart chamber through veins and repeats the
cycle.

Blood Flow through the Heart
• Inferior/ Superior Vena cava → Right Atrium→ Tricuspid Valve → Right Ventricle → Pulmonary Valve→ Pulmonary Artery →Lungs→ Pulmonary Vein→ Left Atrium →Mitral Valve → Left Ventricle →Aorta

What makes the Blood Flow• Blood doesn't flow by itself — your heart's
chambers work hard to keep blood moving. The chambers relax and expand to let blood flow into them. Then they tighten and pull inward (contract) to help push blood out.
• When a chamber is relaxed, or expanded, it is in diastole. When a chamber is contracted, or small, it is in systole
![Page 21: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Right heart: right atrium and right ventricle• Left heart : left atrium and left ventricle
• Systole : contraction/squeezing/emptying/ work phase• Diastole: relaxation/stretching/filling/resting phase
These terms apply to all four chambers
Valves : Act to retain blood in one chamber until the next chamber or vessel is ready to receive it. Valve function is in response to pressure changes in the chambers
Atrial-Ventricular Valves and the Semi-Lunar ValvesHeart Sounds are made by vibration.First heart sound: when AV valves close and ventricles are in systoleSecond heart sound: when semilunar valves close and ventricles are in
diastole

Blood supply to the Heart
• Vessels supply blood to heart muscle under pressure. Vessels encircle the heart, most flow occurring during diastole when ventricular muscles release and relieve pressure on the artery walls, allowing them to fill with blood. The faster the heart rate, the less time there is available for coronary artery filling, since diastolic time is shortened.

Cardiac Output
• The amount of blood moved out by ventricular contraction per minute
• It is the product of heart rate X stroke volume
• Normal CO : approximately 4-8 liters per minute
![Page 26: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Regulation of Heart Rate• Under influence of autonomic nervous system• Both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers
innervate the SA and AV nodes• Sympathetic fibers act on myocardial tissue• Parasympathetics : affect atrium -> SA node
stimulate = decreased HR, conduction, irritability• Sympathetics: atrium, ventricle will increase HR<
increase conduction, and irritability• Reflexes: Aortic and Bainbridge
![Page 27: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• SYMPATHETIC• Affects the atria and the ventricles• Increases : heart rate, conduction and
irritability
• PARASYMPATHETIC• Affects only the atria• Decreases : heart rate, conduction, and
irritability
![Page 28: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How Cardiac Output is Determined• Stroke volume : amount of blood ejected with
ventricular systole• Preload : How much blood returns to the heart• Afterload : The pressure the heart pumps against• Contractility : How effectively the heart pumps• Frank Starling Mechanism : Affects preload, the
more you stretch the harder the contraction• Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume X Heart Rate• The amount of blood the heart pumps out /min is
= to the amount of blood it pumps out per contraction times the number of contractions /min. In order to meet tissue demands, the heart must be able to increase its output several times over.

Peripheral Circulation
• Significance of the cardiovascular system is tissue perfusion, which supplies cells with oxygen and nutrients and carries away carbon dioxide.
• Blood flow dependant on MAP, vessel resistance, vessel length, and blood viscosity
• Blood Pressure = Cardiac Output X peripheral resistance
![Page 30: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• The electrical system in your heart controls the speed of your heartbeat. The system includes a network of electrical pathways, similar to the electrical wiring in your home. The pathways carry electrical signals through your heart. The movement of the signals is what makes your heart beat.
• When working properly, your heart's electrical system automatically responds to your body's changing need for oxygen. It speeds up your heart rate as you climb stairs, for example, and slows it down when you sleep. When your heart rate speeds up, it means your heart pumps faster and your body gets more oxygen-rich blood.
• Your heart's electrical system is also called the cardiac conduction system.
![Page 31: CRITICAL CARE CLASS The Heart Weighs about 300 – 400 grams Function is to pump Has both right and left pumps that work as one 4 chambers : 2 atria.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062523/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978199/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Electrical conduction• Sa node → AV Node → Bundle of His →
Purkinje Fibers• Depolarization initiated by impulse from SA
node (atria kick)• Impulse spreads through both atria• Impulse reaches AV node• Impulse transmitted along bundle of His to
Purkinje fibers, activating ventricles almost simultaneously
