Frank Starling's law of the heart refers to a length-tension relationship of cardiac muscle cells. As ventricles fill with blood, the extra blood causes a stretch of the muscle cells known as end diastolic volume. The greater the stretch, within limits, the greater the contractile force, and therefore the greater the ability to eject blood from the ventricles (end systolic volume) to the great vessels, pulmonary trunk or aorta.
What else can I help you with?
Which structures control the flow of blood through the heart and What governs the functioning of these structures?
Valves and blood vessels control the flow of blood through the heart. The aorta governs the functioning of these structures by being the main artery in the cardiac system.
Are ischemic heart disease and atrial fibillation related?
No. These two are independent cardiac pathophysiologic phenomena.
What type of muscle is found only in the walls of the heart?

What is the meaning of the root word cardiac?

What is cardiac physiology?
Cardiac physiology is the study of how the heart works, including its structure, function, and mechanisms of action. It involves understanding how the heart beats, pumps blood, and regulates blood flow throughout the body. Understanding cardiac physiology is essential for diagnosing and treating heart-related diseases.
Which structures control the flow of blood through the heart and What governs the functioning of these structures?
Valves and blood vessels control the flow of blood through the heart. The aorta governs the functioning of these structures by being the main artery in the cardiac system.
