Decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue creates a condition known as what?
Myocardial infarction is the decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue.
Muscles that constrict or dilate to control blood flow are called?
There are three types of muscle-skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. The muscle type that constricts and dialtes to control blood flow is the smooth muscle(involuntary).
What does the cardiac muscle do in the heart?
It contracts, so the blood flows into the arteries. Then, the cardiac muscle relaxes, so the blood flows back. The backflowing blood fills the valves in the arteries, so it cannot flow back into the heart itself. While the cardiac muscle relaxes, new blood flows into the ventricles and atriums from other veins.

What is the vasoconstriction?
is a contraction of smooth muscle in the wall of the vessel that help to reduced blood flow and blood loss but will not stop blood loss
What medication is commonly used to treat increase blood flow to the cardiac muscle?
Medications like nitroglycerin or calcium channel blockers can be used to increase blood flow to the cardiac muscle by dilating blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart. These medications can help improve blood flow, relieve chest pain (angina), and reduce the risk of complications in conditions like coronary artery disease.
What muscle expansion would restrict blood flow to heart?
Muscle expansion that could restrict blood flow to the heart typically occurs when the surrounding skeletal muscles, particularly those in the thoracic region, contract excessively during intense physical activity. This contraction can compress the thoracic cavity and impede venous return to the heart. Additionally, conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, where the heart muscle thickens, can also obstruct blood flow and lead to restricted blood flow to the heart itself. Both scenarios can result in reduced cardiac output and potential cardiovascular complications.
What is cardiac infarction?
Cardiac infarction, usually called myocardial infarction, is the medical term meaning heart attack. It is heart damage caused by lack of blood flow to the heart muscle.
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
What type of blood flow is needed for muscle tissue?
The type of blood flow that is needed for muscle tissue is skeletal muscle blood flow. Skeletal muscle blood flow is important for both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
What kind of pectoris is chest pain that results from a reduced blood supply of oxygen to heart muscle tissue?
Angina is chest pain cause by reduced blood flow to the heart.
What type of muscle is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle makes up your heart. This is an important muscle category because unlike the other two types of muscle, skeletal and smooth, cardiac is only found in your heart. Also, other than your brain, your heart controls your body, regulating the blood flow, oxygenating blood from the lungs, circulating it around your body and keeping a constant rate at doing so. It is also one of the strongest muscles in your body because of all the blood that it pumps with every beat.
