How does the heart provide for circulatory blood flow and maintain bp?
|
By delivering the necessary CO
|
|
How is CO regulated?
|
Heart rate - pacemaker cells
Strok Vol - Starlings contractility |
|
adrenal medulla
|
secretes epinephrine from vagus
acts as NE does |
|
Autonomic Regulation of the Heart

|
Atropine
|
Muscarinic blocker
Blocks Parasympathetics Inhibits AcH Increases HR |
|
Propranolol
|
Beta adrenergic blocker
Blocks sympathetic decreases HR |
|
Slope and Effect of autonomic system
|
1. Sympathetics increase slope and HR
2. Parasympathetics decrease slope and HR To decrease slope: 1. hyperpolarize w/ paraympethetics via K channel 2. Decrease sympathetic input To increase slope: 1. Open depolarizing channels w/ sympathetic input leads to faster AP |
|
How do you increase HR?
|
1. Increase plasma epinenphrine
2. Increase activity of sympathetic nerves B1 receptors (NE) 3. Decrease Para activity (muscarinic) |
|
Regulation of Stroke Volume
|
1. Increase end diastolic volume which lengthens the cardiac muscle and allows for maximal contraction due to length/tension relationship (Starling's Law)
VERY important b/c if you give heart more blood it WILL pump it; prevents pooling Allows matching cardiac output b/w left and right |
|
Sympathetic input and contractility
|
1. Sympathetic stimualtion creates a new upward shifted Starling curve of increased contractility
2. This increases ejection fraction 3. This increases stroke volume |
|
Positive Inotropic Effect
Negative Inotropic Effect |
Increased contractility
decreased Contractility |
|
Physiology of Sympathetic Input on Contraction
|
1. increases Ca influx
2. increases strength of contraction 3. increases rate of Ca remova from cytoplasm 4. strengthens and shortens the contractile twitch |
|
How do you increase SV?
|
1. Increase EDV
2. Activate Sympathetic 3. Increase plasma epinephrine |
|
