Blood leaves the left ventricle through the ______ _____(the semilunar valve of the left side of the heart), which is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. When the left ventricle contracts, the pressure in the ventricle increases, causing the aortic valve to open and blood to be ejected forcefully into the aorta. (As noted previously, the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per unit time is called the _______ ______) Blood then flows through the arterial system, driven by the pressure created by contraction of the left ventricle. 3. Cardiac output is distributed among various ______. The total cardiac output of the left heart is distributed among the organ systems via sets of parallel arteries. Thus, simultaneously, 15% of the cardiac output is delivered to the brain via the cerebral arteries, 5% is delivered to the heart via the coronary arteries, 25% is delivered to the kidneys via the renal arteries, and so forth. Given this ________ arrangement of the organ systems, it follows that the total systemic blood flow must equal the cardiac output. The percentage distribution of cardiac output among the various organ systems is not fixed, however. For example, during strenuous exercise, the percentage of the cardiac output going to skeletal muscle increases, compared with the percentage at rest. There are three major mechanisms for achieving such a change in blood flow to an organ system. In the first mechanism, the cardiac output remains constant, but the blood flow is redistributed among the organ systems by the selective alteration of arteriolar resistance. In this scenario, blood flow to one organ can be increased at the expense of blood flow to other organs. In the second mechanism, the cardiac output increases or decreases, but the percentage distribution of blood flow among the organ systems is kept constant. Finally, in a third mechanism, a combination of the first two mechanisms occurs in which both cardiac output and the percentage distribution of blood flow are altered. This third mechanism is used, for example, in the response to strenuous exercise: Blood flow to skeletal muscle increases to meet the increased metabolic demand by a combination of increased cardiac output and increased percentage distribution to skeletal muscle. 4.

This mixed venous blood is collected in veins of increasing size and finally in the largest vein, the vena cava. The ____ ____ carries blood to the right heart. 5. Venous return to the _____ ______. Because the pressure in the vena cava is higher than in the right atrium, the right atrium fills with blood, the venous return.

Note that the cardiac output ejected from the right ventricle is identical to the cardiac output that was ejected from the left ventricle. In the capillary beds of the lungs, oxygen (O2) is added to the blood from alveolar gas, and CO2 is removed from the blood and added to the alveolar gas. Thus, the blood leaving the lungs has more O2 and less CO2 than the blood that entered the lungs. 8. Blood flow from the lungs is returned to the heart via the __________ ____.

Phases of the action potential: 1. Phase 0, _______. In ventricular, atrial, and Purkinje fibers, the action potential begins with a phase of _____ ______________, called the upstroke. As in nerve and skeletal muscle, the upstroke is caused by a transient increase in Na+ conductance (gNa), produced by depolarization-induced opening of activation gates on the Na+ channels. When gNa increases, there is an ______ ___ _______ (influx of Na+ into the cell), or INa, which drives the membrane potential toward the Na+ equilibrium potential of approximately +65 mV. The membrane potential does not quite reach the Na+ equilibrium potential because, as in nerve, the inactivation gates on the Na+ channels close in response to depolarization (albeit more ______ than the activation gates open). Thus, the Na+ channels open briefly and then close. At the peak of the upstroke, the membrane potential is depolarized to a value of about +20 mV. The rate of rise of the upstroke is called __/__. dV/dT is the rate of change of the membrane potential as a function of time, and its units are volts per second (V/sec). dV/dT varies, depending on the value of the _______ ________ _________. This dependence is called the responsiveness relationship. Thus, dV/dT is greatest (the rate of rise of the upstroke is _______) when the resting membrane potential is most negative, or hyperpolarized (e.g., −90 mV), and dV/dT is lowest (the rate of rise of the upstroke is _______) when the resting membrane potential is less negative, or depolarized (e.g., −60 mV). This correlation is based on the relationship between membrane potential and the position of the inactivation gates on the Na+ channel. When the resting membrane potential is relatively ______________ (e.g., −90 mV), the voltage-dependent inactivation gates are open and many Na+ channels are available for the upstroke. When the resting membrane potential is relatively ___________ (e.g., −60 mV), the inactivation gates on the Na+ channels tend to be closed and fewer Na+ channels are available to open during the upstroke. dV/dT also correlates with the size of the ______ current (i.e., in ventricular, atrial, and Purkinje fibers, the size of the ______ Na+ current). 2. Phase 1, _______ ______________. Phase 1 in ventricular, atrial, and Purkinje fibers is a brief period of repolarization, which immediately follows the upstroke. Recall that, for repolarization to occur, there must be a net _______ current. There are two explanations for the occurrence of the net outward current during phase 1. First, the inactivation gates on the Na+ channels close in response to depolarization. When these gates close, gNa decreases and the inward Na+ current (which caused the _______) ceases. Second, there is an outward K+ current, caused by the large driving force on K+ ions: At the peak of the upstroke, both the chemical and the electrical driving forces favor K+ movement ___ __ the cell (the intracellular K+ concentration is higher than extracellular K+ concentration, and the cell interior is electrically positive). Because the K+ ___________ (gK) is high, K+ flows out of the cell, down this steep electrochemical gradient. 3. Phase 2, _______. During the plateau, there is a long period (150 to 200 msec) of relatively ______, ___________ membrane potential, particularly in ventricular and Purkinje fibers. (In atrial fibers, the plateau is _________ than in ventricular fibers.) Recall that for the membrane potential to be stable, inward and outward currents must be equal such that there is no net current flow across the membrane. How is such a balance of inward and outward currents achieved during the plateau? There is an increase in Ca2+ conductance (gCa), which results in an ______ ____ _______. Inward Ca2+ current is also called ____ ______ _______, reflecting the slower kinetics of these channels (compared with the fast ___ channels of the upstroke). The Ca2+ channels that open during the plateau are _-____ channels and are inhibited by the ____ _______ ________ nifedipine, diltiazem, and verapamil. To balance the inward Ca2+ current, there is an _______ __ _______, driven by the electrochemical driving force on K+ ions (as described for phase 1). Thus, during the plateau, the inward Ca2+ current is balanced by the outward K+ current, the net current is zero, and the membrane potential remains at a stable depolarized value. (See Fig. 4-13, where during phase 2, the inward Ca2+ current is shown as _____ in magnitude to the outward K+ current.) The significance of the inward Ca2+ current extends beyond its effect on membrane potential. This Ca2+ entry during the plateau of the action potential initiates the release of more Ca2+ from intracellular stores for excitation-contraction coupling. This process of so-called _____-_______-____ _______ is discussed in the section on cardiac muscle contraction. 4. Phase 3, ______________. Repolarization begins gradually at the end of phase 2, and then there is rapid repolarization to the resting membrane potential during phase 3. Recall that repolarization is produced when outward currents are greater than inward currents. During phase 3, repolarization results from a combination of a decrease in gCa (previously _________ during the plateau) and an increase in gK (to even ______ levels than at rest). The reduction in gCa results in a decrease in the inward Ca2+ current, and the increase in gK results in an increase in the outward K+ current (IK), with K+ moving down a steep electrochemical gradient (as described for phase 1). At the end of phase 3, the outward K+ current is reduced because repolarization brings the membrane potential closer to the K+ equilibrium potential, thus decreasing the driving force on K+. 5. Phase 4, _______ ________ _________, __________ ________. The membrane potential fully repolarizes during phase 3 and returns to the resting level of approximately −85 mV. During phase 4, the membrane potential is stable again, and inward and outward currents are equal. The resting membrane potential approaches, but does not fully reach, the K+ equilibrium potential, reflecting the high resting conductance to K+. The K+ channels, and the resulting K+ current, responsible for phase 4 are different from those responsible for repolarization in phase 3. In phase 4, the K+ conductance is called gK1 and the K+ current is called, accordingly, IK1. The stable membrane potential in phase 4 means that inward and outward currents are equal. The high conductance to K+ produces an outward K+ current (IK1), which has already been described. The inward current that balances this outward current is carried by Na+ and Ca2+ (see Fig. 4-13), even though the conductances to Na+ and Ca2+ are low at rest. The question may arise: How can the sum of inward Na+ and Ca2+ currents be the same magnitude as the outward K+ current, given that gNa and gCa are very low, and gK1 is very high? The answer lies in the fact that, for each ion, current = conductance × driving force. Although gK1 is high, the driving force on K+ is low because the resting membrane potential is close to the K+ equilibrium potential; thus, the outward K+ current is relatively small. On the other hand, gNa and gCa are both low, but the driving forces on Na+ and Ca2+ are high because the resting membrane potential is far from the Na+ and Ca2+ equilibrium potentials; thus, the sum of the inward currents carried by Na+ and Ca2+ is equal to the outward current carried by K+.

Excitation contraction coupling in cardicac muscle: 1. The cardiac ______ _________ is initiated in the myocardial cell membrane, and the depolarization spreads to the interior of the cell via the T tubules. Recall that a unique feature of the cardiac action potential is its plateau (phase _), which results from an increase in gCa and an ______ ____ current, in which Ca2+ flows through L-type Ca2+ channels (_________________ receptors) from extracellular fluid (ECF) to intracellular fluid (ICF). 2. Entry of Ca2+ into the myocardial cell produces an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. This increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration is not sufficient alone to initiate contraction, but it triggers the release of more Ca2+ from stores in the sarcoplasmic reticulum through Ca2+ release channels (_________ receptors). This process is called ____-_______-____ _______, and the Ca2+ that enters during the plateau of the action potential is called the _______ ____. Two factors determine how much Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in this step: the amount of Ca2+ previously stored and the size of the inward Ca2+ current during the plateau of the action potential. 3. and 4.

A critically important concept is that the magnitude of the tension developed by myocardial cells is proportional to the intracellular ____ concentration. Therefore, it is reasonable that hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs that alter the inward Ca2+ current during the action potential plateau or that alter sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ stores would be expected to change the amount of tension produced by myocardial cells.

If the cell membrane has a high conductance or permeability to an ion, that ion will flow down its electrochemical gradient and attempt to drive the membrane potential toward its ___________ _________ (calculated by the ______ equation). If the cell membrane is impermeable to an ion, that ion will make little or no contribution to the membrane potential. 3. By convention, membrane potential is expressed in millivolts (__), and intracellular potential is expressed relative to extracellular potential; for example, a membrane potential of −85 mV means 85 mV, cell interior negative. 4.

Since the conductance to sodium (___) at rest is low, Na+ contributes little to the resting membrane potential. 5. The role of ___-__-______ is primarily to maintain Na+ and K+ concentration gradients across the cell membrane, although it makes a small direct electrogenic contribution to the membrane potential. 6. Changes in ________ _________ are caused by the flow of ions into or out of the cell. For ion flow to occur, the cell membrane must be permeable to that ion. ______________ means the membrane potential has become less negative. Depolarization occurs when there is net movement of positive charge into the cell, which is called an ______ _______. _________________ means the membrane potential has become more negative, and it occurs when there is net movement of positive charge out of the cell, which is called an _______ _______ 7. Two basic mechanisms can produce a change in membrane potential. In one mechanism, there is a change in the ________________ gradient for a ________ ion, which changes the equilibrium potential for that ion. The permeant ion then will flow into or out of the cell in an attempt to reestablish electrochemical equilibrium, and this current flow will alter the membrane potential. For example, consider the effect of decreasing the extracellular K+ concentration on the resting membrane potential of a myocardial cell. The K+ equilibrium potential, calculated by the Nernst equation, will become more negative. K+ ions will then flow out of the cell and down the now larger electrochemical gradient, driving the resting membrane potential toward the new, more negative K+ equilibrium potential. In the other mechanism, there is a change in ___________ to an ion. For example, the resting permeability of ventricular cells to Na+ is quite low, and Na+ contributes minimally to the resting membrane potential. However, during the upstroke of the ventricular action potential, Na+ conductance dramatically increases, Na+ flows into the cell down its electrochemical gradient, and the membrane potential is briefly driven toward the Na+ equilibrium potential (i.e., is depolarized). 8. __________ _________ is the potential difference at which there is a net inward current (i.e., ______ current becomes greater than _________ current). At threshold potential, the depolarization becomes self-sustained and gives rise to the upstroke of the action potential.
