1 Control of Heart Rate

2 Control of Heart Rate The beating of your heart is an involuntary movement one that is beyond your direct control. The nerve impulse that causes the heart to beat originates within the heart itself, at a bundle of specialized heart muscle tissue called the sinoatrial (SA) node (also called the pacemaker).

3 Sinoatrial Node

4 Function of Sinoatrial (SA) Node The sinoatrial node is found in the right atrium. It stimulates muscle fibers that make the heart contract and relax rhythmically. The 2 atria (left and right) receive their electrical impulse at the same time, causing them to contract simultaneously.

5 Function of the Sinoatrial Node The contracting of the atria stimulates a second node, called the atrioventricular (AV) node, to send an electrical impulse to the ventricles leading them to contract.

6 Atrioventricular Node

7 Function of Atrioventricular (AV)Node The atrioventricular node is located within the right atrium on the septum near the ventricle. Impulses from the AV node are carried along nerve cells called Purkinje fibres that run down through the septum of the heart and out along the outer muscle of the ventricles. This branching ensures both ventricles contract at the same time.

8 Purkinje Fibers

9 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate When you are relaxed, the SA node fires at a regular rate (about 70 times per minute), maintaining a steady heart rate. When the needs of the body increase, the heart must beat faster to accommodate the increased need for delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and removal of wastes.

10 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate An increase in activity in the muscles produces a faster rate of cellular respiration in the cells. This will increase the concentration of CO 2 in the blood.

11 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate The medulla oblongata notes the increase and stimulates an increase in breathing rate, and sends a message to the adrenal glands (on the kidney) to stimulate the production of a hormone called noradrenaline.

12 Medulla Oblongata

13 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate Noradrenaline enters the blood stream, and when it reaches the SA node, it stimulates the node to fire at a faster rate (increasing heart rate).

14 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate To slow the heart s beating to a normal rate, the medulla oblongata receives information from the pressure receptors (baroreceptors) in the blood vessels in the neck (carotid arteries) that indicate high blood pressure.

15

16 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate This stimulates the nerves to release acetylcholine, a chemical that slows the firing of the SA node (slowing heart rate).

17 Chemical Regulators of Heart Rate

18 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is caused from blood pushing outwards on the inside wall of arteries (and veins and other tubes - but measured mostly in arteries).

19 Blood Pressure A normal blood pressure measurement for a person is about 120 mm Hg/80 mm Hg (though this is not exact it can range slightly higher or lower than these numbers and still be considered normal). The two numbers in this measurement are systolic pressure / diastolic pressure.

20 Blood Pressure Systolic pressure is the pressure produced when the ventricles contract and blood is forced out of the heart. This is the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle.

21 Blood Pressure Diastolic pressure is the pressure produced when the ventricles are filling with blood (just before contraction). This is the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle.

22 Blood Pressure To measure your blood pressure, an instrument called a sphygmomanometer is used. It is wrapped around the arm just above the elbow and inflated to temporarily cut off blood flow though the brachial artery in the arm. The pressure in the cuff is lowered slowly, and the sounds of blood flow (pulses) are listened for and measured.

23 Blood Pressure Risks Regulation of blood pressure is very important. Low blood pressure reduces your capacity to transport blood. Elevated blood pressure can weaken the walls of arteries through loss of elasticity.

24 Blood Pressure Risks Diets high in salt will increase the volume of blood in the body, since more water will be retained in the body. This increases the amount of blood that must be pumped by the heart (elevating blood pressure).

25 Blood Pressure Risks Diets high in fats (lipids) may cause the arteries to become clogged (see p. 494). Due to reduced diameter and thickening of the artery wall an increase in blood pressure may result. This causes a condition known as arteriosclerosis.

26 Arteriosclerosis Often caused by the build up of cholesterol and other fatty deposits that then become hardened.

27 Blood Pressure Risks Prolonged use of stimulants like nicotine, caffeine and alcohol which act like noradrenaline (to increase heart rate) may also cause an increase in blood pressure.

28 Blood Pressure Risks Heredity, obesity, sedintary (low activity) lifestyle, and age are also factors that may contribute to blood pressure problems.

29 Vasodilation Vasodilation: The widening of blood vessels. Muscles in the walls of blood vessels relax so the blood vessels get bigger in diameter. This causes more blood to flow down these ones.

30 Vasodilation Conversely, bodies can purposefully lose heat from the extremities in hot weather by sending blood there due to vasodilation. Many dessert animals have huge thin ears with lots of blood vessels in them, that they vasodilate in the day to lose body heat so they don t overheat.

31 Vasodilation

32 Vasoconstriction Vasoconstriction: The narrowing of blood vessels. Muscles in the walls of blood vessels contract so the blood vessels get smaller in diameter.

33 Vasoconstriction With the interplay of both of these, blood can be kept away from extremities in cold temperatures by vasoconstriction so heat is not lost (from the fingertips for example) and can be kept closer to the middle of the body by vasodilation in central body parts so it stays where it is warmer and further away from the cold outside.

34 Vasoconstriction
