See the Labelling the heart activity for additional support in using this interactive. Parts of the heart When a person is exercising, the oxygen demand of their muscle cells increases and so a higher heart rate is necessary

Blood will then exit the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve and enter the lungs to be oxygenated. heartbeat in terms of myogenic muscle contraction, the role of the pacemaker, nerves, the medulla of the brain and epinephrine (adrenaline). He broke off. Flames glided in the river, small green flames, red flames, white flames, pursuing, overtaking, joining, crossing each other -- then separating slowly or hastily. The traffic of the great city went on in the deepening night upon the sleepless river. We looked on, waiting patiently -- there was nothing else to do till the end of the flood; but it was only after a long silence, when he said, in a hesitating voice, "I suppose you fellows remember I did once turn fresh-water sailor for a bit," that we knew we were fated, before the ebb began to run, to hear about one of Marlow's inconclusive experiences There are a number of different protocols based on patient presentation that can be broken into prospective and retrospective based:

Or try a sample...

The bundle of His branches into the left and right bundle branches which travel down the interventricular septum. It was upward of thirty days before I saw the mouth of the big river. We anchored off the seat of the government. But my work would not begin till some two hundred miles farther on. So as soon as I could I made a start for a place thirty miles higher up His remark did not seem at all surprising. It was just like Marlow. It was accepted in silence. No one took the trouble to grunt even ; and presently he said, very slow -- Zreik M, Lessmann N, van Hamersvelt R et al.

If students receive cuts or scratches during dissection, wash the wound in cold running water. Allow minor wounds to bleed freely and refer to a first aider. Ethical issues The SA node is in the upper part of your heart’s right atrium. It is at the edge of your atrium near your superior vena cava (vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from your body to your heart).Another contradiction central to the story involves the tension between the narrator’s capacities for love and hate. Poe explores here a psychological mystery—that people sometimes harm those whom they love or need in their lives. Poe examines this paradox half a century before Sigmund Freud made it a leading concept in his theories of the mind. Poe’s narrator loves the old man. He is not greedy for the old man’s wealth, nor vengeful because of any slight. The narrator thus eliminates motives that might normally inspire such a violent murder. As he proclaims his own sanity, the narrator fixates on the old man’s vulture-eye. He reduces the old man to the pale blue of his eye in obsessive fashion. He wants to separate the man from his “Evil Eye” so he can spare the man the burden of guilt that he attributes to the eye itself. The narrator fails to see that the eye is the “I” of the old man, an inherent part of his identity that cannot be isolated as the narrator perversely imagines. The electrical signals that travel through your heart conduction system cause your heart to expand and contract. These contractions control how blood flows through your heart.

You understand it was a Continental concern, that Trading society; but I have a lot of relations living on the Continent, because it's cheap and not so nasty as it looks, they say I flew around like mad to get ready, and before forty-eight hours I was crossing the Channel to show myself to my employers, and sign the contract. In a very few hours I arrived in a city that always makes me think of a whited sepulchre. Prejudice no doubt. I had no difficulty in finding the Company's offices. It was the biggest thing in the town, and everybody I met was full of it. They were going to run an over-sea empire, and make no end of coin by trade Due to the usually tortuous anatomy of the coronary arteries, curved multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) or maximum intensity projections (MIP) are usually generated to allow for the assessment of coronary lumina on a dedicated workstation. In these images, coronary stenoses can be evaluated and lumen reduction can be measured.The left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the whole body. Oxygenated blood is pumped to the whole body through the aorta. Which chamber receives deoxygenated blood from the body? The heart muscle can contract by itself, without the stimulation of a nerve. This is called myogenic muscle contraction. The region that initiates each contraction is found in the wall of the right atrium and is called the pacemaker. Every time the pacemaker sends out a signal, a heartbeat results. The pacemaker is under the influence of nerves and adrenaline. One nerve carries messages from the medulla of the brain to the pacemaker and speeds up the beating of the heart. Another nerve carries messages from the medulla of the brain to the pacemaker and slows down the beating of the heart. Finally, adrenaline (epinephrine) is carried by the blood and once it reaches the pacemaker it signals it to increase the beating of the heart. For the heart to function effectively, there must be a fine control and balance of events that take place during the cardiac cycle described above. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a medical device that measures the electrical pulse of the heart. Since the heart undergoes a series of electrical changes related to the waves of excitation, sensors that are connected to a monitor can detect these electrical signals. The ECG produces a trace of electrical activity shown in Figure 6.

The heart dissection is probably one of the most difficult dissections you will do. Part of the reason it is so difficult to learn is that the heart is not perfectly symmetrical, but it is so close that it becomes difficult to discern which side you are looking at (dorsel, ventral, left or right). Finding the vessels is directly related to being able to orient the heart correctly and figuring out which side you are looking at. In cardiac diastole the entire heart is relaxed. Both the atria and ventricles are relaxed and the blood enters at low pressure through the veins, the pulmonary vein and the vena cava into the atria. As the blood flows in the atria the blood pressure begins to increase causing the AV valves to become opened allowing for the blood to enter the ventricles. Atrial Systole Deoxygenated blood returning from the body first enters the heart from the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the right atrium and is pumped through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, the blood is pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk.the right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary trunk to be oxygenated in the lungs Veins are made up of thin layers with a few circular elastic fibres and muscle fibres. This is because blood does not flow in pulses and so the vein walls cannot help pump the blood on. Veins also have thin walls which allows the near by muscles to press against them so that they become flat. This helps the blood to be pushed forwards towards the heart. There is only a thin outer layer of longitudinal collagen and elastic fibres as there is low pressure inside the vein and so little chance of bursting. Finally, a wide lumen is needed to accommodate the slow flowing blood due to the low pressure. mitral valve (aka left atrioventricular valve; aka bicuspid valve) drains blood from the left atrium when it is open during ventricular diastole The coronary arteries supply heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. 6.2.3 Explain the action of the heart in terms of collecting blood, pumping blood, and opening and closing of valves.
