The Electrical Activity of the Heart
Measured using an
electrocardiogram (ECG)
Graphical representation of
electrical sequence of events
occurring with each contraction
of the heart
Each wave generated during
contraction is named:
P wave: represents
depolarization through the
atria
QRS complex: represents
depolarization of the
ventricle

The Vascular System and Blood
Vascular System:
A network of vessels that transport blood throughout the
body; vessels divided into four main categories:
Arteries: carry blood away from the heart to different
organs
Arterioles: regulate blood distribution to various tissues
of the body
Capillaries: responsible for the exchange of gases and
nutrients with the tissues
Veins (venules): return blood to the heart

Blood Pressure
Blood Pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of
the arteries
Measuring blood pressure: systolic pressure over diastolic pressure
Systolic blood pressure:
Pressure observed in the arteries during contraction phase
Diastolic blood pressure:
Pressure observed in the arteries during relaxation phase of
the heart

Mechanisms of Breathing
Inspiration:
Contraction of diaphragm
Thoracic cavity expands
Air pressure in thoracic cavity is
lower than air pressure outside
the body
Air rushes in to lungs to restore
balance
Lung pressure = atmospheric
pressure
Expiration:
Alveolar sacs recoil as diaphragm
relaxes
Air is expelled
Thoracic cavity reduces

Lung Volumes
Lung Volumes are divided into two categories:
Static lung volumes
Determined by the actual structure of the lung
Three important static lung volumes:
Total lung capacity (TLC)
Maximum volume of air that lungs can hold
Sum of vital capacity
Vital capacity (VC)
Maximum amount of air that can be exhaled following a
maximal inhalation
Residual volume (RV)
Air that remains in lungs following a maximal exhalation
Dynamic lung volumes
Dependent on volume as well as movement/flow of air

Gas Exchange
Diffusion mediates gas exchange
Diffusion is the movement of a gas,
liquid, or solid from a region of high
concentration to low concentration
Can only occur if a difference in
concentration exists
Concentration gradient
Diffusion pathway
Area through which gases move from
the lungs into the blood; from the
blood into the tissue, and back
Rates of diffusion depend on:
Size of concentration gradient
Thickness of barrier between two
areas
Surface area between two areas

Asthma
Asthma (acute or chronic) is
characterized by:
Spasm of smooth muscle lining the
respiratory system
Oversecretion of mucous
Swelling of cells lining the respiratory
tract
Asthma results in:
Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
Wheezing during breathing
Factors that stimulate attacks:
Exercise
Allergic reactions/contaminates
Stress
Controlled through the use of medications
