Physiology – Cardiac Contraction
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the membrane network that surrounds the contractile proteins.Consists of sarcotubular network at the centre and the subsacrolemnal cisternae.
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Contraction
• Sliding of actin over myosin by ATP hydrolysis through the action of ATP-ase in the head of the myosin molecule.
• When Ca2+ floods in, it binds to troponin, therefore moving tropomyosin off actin, exposing the binding sites.
• The head of the myosin molecule forms crossbridges that interact with actin.

Physiology – Contraction
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Thick Filaments
• Myosin:– 2 heavy chains – alpha and beta myosin heads– 4 light chains– Perpendicular at rest– Bends towards the sarcomere centre during
contraction– Hydrolyses ATP, interacts with actin
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Thin Filaments
• Actin:– Globular protein– Double stranded helix– Both form F actin– Activates myosin ATP, interacts with myosin
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Thin Filaments
• Tropomyosin:– Elongated molecule made of 2 helical peptide
chains– Regulates interaction!!
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Thin Filaments
• Troponin:– TnI: inhibits actin and myosin binding– TnC: Ca2+ binding sites– TnT: binds troponin to tropomyosin– TnC drives away TnI allowing interaction
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Myosin ATP-ase
• ATP binds to the myosin head inducing a small conformational shift in the actin-binding site which reduces its affinity for actin causing the myosin head to release the actin filament.
• This causes the myosin head to ‘cock back’ into place. ATP is then hydrolysed leaving ADP and Pi bound to the myosin.
• Weak interactions with actin cause the myosin to release the Pi which triggers the ‘power stroke’.
• As myosin attaches, the ADP is released and it binds tightly to the actin.
Rigor Mortis: lack of ATP, therefore the myosin cannot detach from the actin, meaning the muscles stay contracted.

Physiology – Conduction System

SVC • “Pacemaker”

atrium• Only electrical connection
between the atrium and ventricle• Slow propogation
• Bundle of His• Purkinje fibres

The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Cardiac Cycle
3 main events:• LV contraction• LV relaxation• LV filling
Preload: load present before LV contraction has startedAfterload: load after the ventricle starts to contract
Sounds:• “Lub” – low pitched, closure of AV
valves, marks onset of systole• “Dub” – louder, closure of semilunar
valves, marks onset of diastole

Aims

Physiology – Regulation of MAP
MAP = CO X TPR
Average arterial blood pressure over a total cardiac cycle
The volume of blood each ventricle pumps
The sum of resistances to flow offered by all systemic blood vessels
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Effectors of CO
• Increase in sympathetic innervation to heart INCREASE in BP• vasoconstriction • increased myocardial contractility• increase plasma adrenaline
• Affects Heart Rate (HR) and Stroke Volume (SV)
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Effectors of TPR
• Vasodilators (decrease in TPR): • NO• CO2
• decrease in O2
• Inflammatory mediators• ANP (hormonal)
• Vasoconstrictors (increase in TPR):• Sympathetic nerves• ADH• Angiotensin II• Adrenaline
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Arterial Baroreceptors
• Stretch-sensitive receptors found in wall of carotid sinus and aortic arch
• Send neurons to medullary cardiovascular centre in brain• Key role in short-term regulation eg exercise• If becomes long term then adopt a new base line
pressure• Main control in long-term BP regulation is blood volume.• FEEDBACK LOOP• Sensitivity is affected by sympathetic
stimulation/hypertensionCarotid sinus: glossopharyngeal nerve (CN 9) – more sensitive as going to brainAortic arch: vagus nerve (CN 10)
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Arterial Baroreceptors
StimulusDecreased sympathetic outflow to kidneys
Increased renal blood flow and urine
Increased sympathetic outflow to SA node
Increased heart rate (HR)
The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Physiology – Chemoreceptors
• Small highly vascular bodies in the aortic arch and medial to carotid sinus.
• Stimulated by a fall in O2 and pH/increase in CO2
• Involved in the control of respiration and reflex vasoconstriction
• Less important than baroreceptors in the control of circulation
• CO2 and pH affect peripheral; O2 affects central• Increase in CO2 vasoconstriction, increase in PR and
BP
