Document Summary

Regulation: cardiac output (co) is the rate at which the heart pumps blood, given in ml/min or l/min. Map = mean arterial pressure (aka blood pressure or bp) Tpr = total peripheral resistance (resistance in blood vessel) In normally functioning heart, cardiac output of the left heart equals that of the right heart: there is both extrinsic and intrinsic regulators of co. Jan. 21, 2017: pre-ganglionic vagus nerve releases ach onto nicotine receptor of post-ganglionic cell which in tern released. Ach onto muscarinic receptor of heart and vessel: the adrenal gland also receive ach which causes release of e and ne onto the and receptors. Parasympathetic regulation of heart rate: ach bind to muscarinic receptor which stimulates. Sympathetic and parasympathetic contribution to normal heart rate: the pacemaker ap frequency without any regulation (ie. no signal from sympathetic/parasympathetic afferents, ie isolated heart) is about 100- 110/min: the normal human heart rate is less than that of an isolated heart at 60-
