Cardiac Cycle

Contraction/relaxation pattern produced by the heart

Conduction system

Conduction in the heart begins with an electrical impulse of the sinoatrial (SA) node within the right atrium

Circulatory system

Blood-carrying vessels: the arteries, the capillaries, and the veins

Describe the circulatory system

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava and then flows into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood exchanged for oxygen. The newly oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins, entering the left atrium. From the left atrium, the blood flows into the left ventricle, and with a powerful contraction, it is forced into the aorta. From the aorta, the blood enters a network of arteries, arterioles, capillaries and returns through the veins.

Venous return

Blood returns back to the heart through the veins

Respiratory System

Responsible for providing air distribution and gas exchange

Describe the respiratory system

Air enters the body through the mouth or nostrils and passes into the nasal cavity where it is warmed and humidified. The oral and nasal passafes lead to the throat, or pharynx. After passing through the pharynx, the inspired air enter the larynx. The larynx is composed of pieces of voice box, produces sound as air passes the vocal cords, located inside the larynx itself. Another cartilaginous structure found in the larynx is the epiglottis, which partially covers the opening in the larynx and closes during swallowing to prevent food from passing in the trachea. Air flows from the larynx into the trachea, which connects the larynx to the lungs. The trachea branches into two main bronchi, the right and left bronchus, which travel into the respective lung.

Valsava maneuver

Occurs when a person holds his or her breath during strenuous activity. The glottis is closed against pressure, which causes an increased thoracic pressure leading to an interruption of the venous return to the heart, reducing blood flow to the coronary arteries, and decreasing oxygen supply to the brain.

Amount of air breathed per minute

Residual lung volume

Amount of air remaining in the lungs after a complete and total forced exhale

Forced vital capacity

Value measured during some fitness assessments; amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a maximal inhale
