- Estimate the volume of a human heart (in mL) using the following measurements/assumptions: Blood flow through the aorta is approximately 16.8 cm/s. The diameter of the aorta is approximately 3.0 cm. Assume the heart pumps its own volume with each beat. Assume a pulse rate of 90 beats per minute.arrow_forwardExplain the flow of the blood as it passes through the heart.arrow_forwardDefine and briefly describe the following disorders associated with the heart: Silent myocardial ischemia- vascular stenosis- angina pectoris- myocardial infarction -arrow_forward
- List all the cellular events that occur upon the stimulation of parasympathetic receptors of the heart.arrow_forwardDefine the term 'distributive shock' and briefly explain why two of the three types of distributive shock result in increased heart rate, whilst the third type results in decreased heart rate.arrow_forwardSummarize the location of the heart in the human body.arrow_forward
- Explain the role of the autonomic divisions in control of heart rate.arrow_forwardDiscuss the pressure gradients through the heart that impact the flow of blood.arrow_forwardPredict: Because of a reduced blood supply to the AV node, the delay in the conduction of action potentials from the SA node to the AV node is increased slightly. All other areas of the conducting system of the heart are functioning normally. Predict how this affects the normal rhythm of the heart.arrow_forward
