The Cardiovascular
System: The Heart
PowerPoint® Lecture Presentations prepared by
Steven Bassett
Southeast Community College
Lincoln, Nebraska
- 2. Introduction
The blood must stay in motion to maintain
homeostasis.
The heart keeps blood moving.
The volume of blood pumped by the heart
can vary widely, between 5 and 30 liters per
minute.

- 3. An Overview of the Cardiovascular System
The heart is a small organ; your heart is roughly the size of your
clenched fist.
Two closed circuits:
Pulmonary circuit carries carbon dioxide—rich blood from the
heart to the lungs and back
Systemic circuit transports oxygen-rich blood from the heart to
the rest of the body and back
The heart has four muscular chambers:
Right and left atria collect blood returning to heart
Right and left ventricles discharge blood into vessels to leave
the heart.
Left ventricle is considered the strongest chamber of the heart and creates
the highest pressure in the circulation.
Right ventricle contains the “Moderator band”.

- 7. The Pericardium
The pericardium is the serous membrane
lining the pericardial cavity, which surrounds
the heart
Visceral pericardium (epicardium) covers the
heart’s outer surface
Parietal pericardium lines the inner surface of
the pericardial sac

- 9. Structure of the Heart Wall
Three distinct layers:
Epicardium — covers the outside of the heart
Myocardium — cardiac muscle, the thickest
layer of the heart.
The muscular ridges in the inner surface of the atria
are called Pectinate muscles.
Microscopic appearance of cardiac muscle shows
branched fibers and intercalated discs.
Endocardium — lines the inside of the heart

- 11. Orientation and Superficial Anatomy of Heart
The heart lies slightly to the left of the
midline.
The heart sits at an oblique angle to the
longitudinal axis of the body.
The heart is rotated slightly toward the left.
The heart has external sulci that mark
internal boundaries.

- 18. Cardiac cycle
All of the electrical and mechanical events that take place
during one heart beat are referred to as one cardiac cycle.
Systole — contraction
Atrial systole
Ventricular systole
Blood is pushed out of the heart.
AV valves are closed
Diastole — relaxation, when the chambers of the heart fill.
Atrial diastole
RA receives blood from SVC and IVC.
LA receives blood from pulmonary veins.

- 21. Blood supply to the heart
• The heart muscle is receiving its own
blood from right and left coronary arteries.
• Coronary arteries are originating from the
base of the ascending aorta.

- 24. The Cardiac Cycle
• The cardiac cycle consists of alternate
periods of contraction and relaxation
• Contraction is systole
• Blood is ejected into the ventricles
• Blood is ejected into the pulmonary trunk and the
ascending aorta
• Relaxation is diastole
• Chambers are filling with blood

Ventricular diastole—early:
As ventricles relax, pressure in ventricles
drops; blood flows back against cusps of
semilunar valves and forces them closed.
Blood flows into the relaxed atria.
Atrial systole ends,
atrial diastole
begins
Ventricular systole—
second phase: As
ventricular pressure rises
and exceeds pressure
in the arteries, the
semilunar valves
open and blood
is ejected.
Ventricular
diastole—late:
All chambers are relaxed.
Ventricles fill passively.
Ventricular systole—
first phase:
Ventricular contraction
pushes AV valves
closed but does not
create enough
pressure to open
semilunar valves.
Atrial systole begins:
Atrial contraction forces a small amount
of additional blood into relaxed ventricles.

Moderator band Purkinje fibers
The stimulus for contraction is generated by pacemaker cells at
the SA node. From there, impulses follow three different paths
through the atrial walls to reach the AV node. After a brief delay,
the impulses are conducted to the bundle of His (AV bundle), and
then on to the bundle branches, the Purkinje fibers, and the
ventricular myocardial cells.

right ventricle.

The impulse is distributed by
Purkinje fibers and relayed
throughout the ventricular
myocardium. Atrial contraction
is completed, and ventricular
contraction begins.

The movement of the contractile stimulus through the
heart is shown in STEPS 1–5.
- 28. The Cardiac Cycle
The ECG is a recording of the electrical
events in the heart and reveals the
condition of cunducting system of the heart.
P wave — atrial depolarization
QRS complex — ventricular depolarization
T wave — ventricular repolarization
