The Heart as a Pump: Anatomy, Function, and Regulation, Lecture notes of Physiology

A comprehensive overview of the anatomy and function of the human heart, focusing on its role as a pump in the cardiovascular system. It covers the external and internal structures of the heart, including the four chambers (atria and ventricles) and the four valves (tricuspid, bicuspid, pulmonary, and aortic). The document also explains the cardiac cycle, the path of blood flow through the heart, and the regulation of heart function. Additionally, it discusses specialized blood vessels present in fetal circulation and the concept of cardiac tamponade, a pathological condition caused by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. This detailed information on the heart's anatomy and physiology would be valuable for students studying physiology, neurobiology, or related fields, as it provides a solid foundation for understanding the cardiovascular system and its role in human health and disease.

OUTLINE

THE HEART IS A PUMP

Pumping supplies the pressure to move through a set of capillaries.

BUT…

THE HEART IS A DOUBLE PUMP

One Pump Is Needed for Systemic Circulation One Pump Is Needed for Pulmonary Circulation

Pumps Work In Series

Pump Equivalent Volumes!!

THE PERICARDIUM

Fibrous Pericardium Single Layer Serous Pericardium Double Layer Supports & Lubricates the Heart

PERICARDIAL EFFUSION

Normal Pericardial Effusion Accumulation of Fluid in Pericardial Cavity

CARDIAC TAMPONADE

Pathological Accumulation of Fluid In Pericardial Cavity (200mL - 2 L !) Fluid build up may be caused by infection, trauma. Places pressure and strain on the heart muscle and decreases pumping ability

The Right Ventricle sends it through the Pulmonary Arteries to the lungs for oxygenation. Oxygen Rich Blood Is Carried Back Towards the Heart by Pulmonary Veins into the Left Atrium. . The Left Ventricle sends it through the Aorta and arteries to supply nutrients to body tissues
