What else can I help you with?
The pressure that must be overcome for the ventricles to eject blood from the aorta is called?
Afterload.
Why The impulse is delayed at the AV node to allow what?
Av delay permits the ventricles to be filled to an optimal volume which is preload. so contraction will eject max amount of blood.
What is the term that refers to the portion of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles contract and eject blood from the heart?
Systolic pressure
In blood pressure readingsystolic pressure is most closely associated with the?
Ventricular contraction. When ventricular pressure exceeds arterial pressure, the ventricles contract and eject blood into the aorta.
What is the phase of ventricular contraction called?
It is called systole. This is when the ventricles contract and eject blood into the lungs (from the right ventricle) or into the systemic circulation (from left ventricle).
What influences the amount of blood that leaves the heart?
Good Question! Well, What influences the amount of blood that leaves the heart is a Right and Left Artetery called a Ariticule. The blood is squirted out of these valves, and into the Veins of your body, Though whats known as the Aorta.
Frank-Starling's law of the heart is related to what cardiac structures?
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 is the function of the exretory?
to filter out and eject toxins from the blood
Cells with no nuclei are found where?
Red blood cells eject their nuclei in their development and are found in the blood stream.
What is afterload?
Afterload is the tension or stress developed in the wall of theleft ventricleduring ejection. In other words, it is the endLoadagainst which the heart contracts to eject blood.
How does preload affect the stroke volume?
Preload refers to the degree of stretch of cardiac muscle cells before contraction. These muscles exhibit a length-tension relationship. When the cardiac muscle cells are at rest, they are shorter than their optimal length. The most important factor affecting the stretching of cardiac muscles is the venous return, that is, the amount of blood returning back to the heart. Slow heartbeat and exercise can increase the venous return. This will lead to the stretching of the ventricles and it will hence increase the contraction force.As reflected by the Frank-Starling Law, the stroke volume increases with the end diastolic volume. The greater filling volume will lead to the heart to stretch more and this will increase its force of contraction.
What vessels provides right and left ventricular afterload?
The systemic arteries provide afterload for the left ventricle, while the pulmonary arteries provide afterload for the right ventricle. Afterload refers to the resistance that the ventricles must overcome to eject blood during systole.
