KINESIOL 2YY3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Heart Valve, Systolic Geometry, Sinoatrial Node
Document Summary
Isovolumetric contraction systole: ventricles are contracting and are now systole. Volume of the ventricles do not change; valves are closed. This increases the pressure very rapidly to push the semilunar valve open: both valves closed, ventricular ejection systole. Semilunar valves open and goes into the systemic/pulmonary circulation. Isovolumetric relaxation diastole: close all the valves, heart relaxes and no longer full of blood. Blood tries to go into the ventricle (lower pressure) and fills in the cusps of the semilunar valve to close it. C a rd ia c c yc le event s. Atrial systole: sa node depolarizes to cause atrial depolarization p wave of the ecg. This is the end-diastolic volume (edv): qrs complex in the ecg starts the onset of ventricular depolarization. Ventricular systole: ventricular depolarization causes ventricular systole, pressure rises in the ventricles and pushes blood against the av valve to close them.
