Question
Chapter 33.2, Problem 1CSC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The structure of normal heart muscle and its contractions that coordinated to circulate blood effectively.
Introduction:
Heart is a muscular organ present in most of the organism. Heart serves as the pump to circulate the blood. The heart has four chambers. The cardiac muscles are of two types’ myocardial contractile cells and myocardial conducting cells.

Tia developed Rheumatic heart disease when she was 19 years old that caused stenosis of her mitral valve. Long-standing mitral stenosis led to left atrial enlargement. She is 29 now and her cardiologist, Dr. Irma Wu, advised her replacement of the mitral valve. According to her doctor, after the valve replacement, she would require life-long blood thinners.
Using your knowledge of physiology, explain how can clot formation be prevented prophylactically?
Knowing ECG. Do you think you can predict atrial enlargement from ECG? Why or why not? Support your answer with reasoning.
The exact cause of blood clotting in the left atrium of the heart during atrial fibrillation (AF) is not known. In part it might be due to blood stasis (not moving) or it may result in combination with endothelial cells damage.
(A) What are the potential mechanisms that might drive clotting and what markers might you look for in the blood to predict potential risk?
(B) Other than treating the arrhythmia, what other pharmacological intervention might be provided to AF sufferers?
Figure shows the conduction system of the heart that transmit the electrical impulses
for the coordination of cardiac cycle.
a) Referring to the Figure , which part of the heart's electrical conduction is known as
the “pacemaker” of the heart?
b)Explain how D controls atria and ventricles which causes ventricular systole.

- VSD, or ventricular septal defect, is a condition that accounts for half of all congenital cardiovascular anomalies. In this condition, a hole exists in the septum, the muscular wall between the ventricles, which allows blood from the right and left side of the heart to mix. What sort of problems might this condition cause?arrow_forwardYou wanted to prepare a fish dish for your grandfather that he loves the dried salted Codfish.

(a) Calculate the average speed of the blood in the aorta if the flow rate is 5.0 L/min. The aorta has a radius of 10 mm. (b) Blood also flows through smaller blood vessels known as capillaries. When the rate of blood flow in the aorta is 5.0 L/min, the speed of blood in the capillaries is about 0.33 mm/s. Given that the average diameter of a capillary is 8.0 μm (1 μm = 1 X 10 –6 m), calculate the number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.arrow_forward
