Cardiac Cycle: Diastole
- Ventricles relax and fill with blood, AV valves open
Cardiac Cycle: Systole
- •Blood is pumped from the ventricles and fills the pulmonary and systemic
arteries
•Heart is filled with blood which raises ventricular pressure and the mitral and
tricuspid valves shut to prevent regurgitation
•Then contraction occurs
•Contents of ventricles ejected, pressure falls
•When pressure falls below pressure in aorta, some blood flows backward toward
the ventricle, causing the aortic valve to swing shut
Arteries (9)
- •Temporal Artery
•Carotid Artery
•Brachial
•Ulnar
•Radial
•Femoral
•Popliteal
•Dorsalis Pedis (DP)
•Posterior Tibial (PT)
Mechanism of Venous Flow (3) –
Low pressure system movement accomplished by:
•(a) the contracting skeletal muscles
•(b) pressure gradient caused by breathing —inspiration makes the thoracic
pressure decrease and abdominal pressure increase
•(c) intraluminal valves - ensure unidirectional flow.
