Cardiovascular Concept Map (All Sections)
Cardiovascular
Function/Physiology
Process - Flow
Regulation/ Feedback
Process by Phases
Beginning of Process (BOP) - Flow Generation of Pressure Gradient
(Chemoelectrical )1st - Cardiac Electrical Activity (Action Potential)
(Mechanical) Cardiac Muscular Activity
SAN Node -> AVN...Myocardial Action Potential
Atrial Intermodal Tract
AVN
Bundle of His
Purkinje System
Myocardial Action Potential
Calcium & excitation -Contraction Coupling
Coordination & Sequencing
Variables
Myocardial Stretch and Contractility - Sterlings Curve
Assess Cardiac Muscular Activity
Ejection Fraction
Cardiac Output
Mean Arterial Pressure
After load , Preload
Coordination & Sequencing of Myocardial contractions - Cardiac Cycle
Atrial - Systole Diastole
Wigger Diagram
Middle of Process (MOP) - Flow Continuation
Flow = Pressure/Resistance | Q = ΔP π r48/ L η
End of Process (EOP) / Output - of Capillary Exchange
Distribution of Capilaries throughout the body
Net Filtration Pressure = Starlings Forces
Capillary Hydrostatic & Oncotic Pressure
Interstitial Hydrostatic & Oncotic Pressure
Membrane Permeability (esp. changes)
Viscosity
Radius
Length
Intrinsic/Local Auto-regulation
Extrinsic
Mechanical - Baroreceptors
Chemical
Chemoreceptors - pH
RAAS System
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
A network of specialized/ modified cardiac myocytes. Unlike non-pacemaker cells the depolarizing current is carried into the cell by relatively slow Ca2+
