Course Description:

Unlock the mysteries of the heart's healthy function with our Learn Cardiac Physiology course. This comprehensive journey will delve into the complex interplay between blood flow, myocardium structure, electrical conduction systems, and the cardiac cycle, providing you with a profound understanding of how these elements work in concert to sustain life.

Understanding Cardiac Physiology:

• The Heart as a Dual Pump: Learn about the heart's role in maintaining a continuous circulation of blood throughout the body, and the distinction between systemic and pulmonary circulations.

• Unidirectional Blood Flow: Explore the one-way flow of blood from the atria to the ventricles, through the pulmonary artery into the lungs, and out to the body via the aorta.

• Valve Functions: Understand how the tricuspid, bicuspid (mitral), aortic, and pulmonary valves ensure one-way blood flow within the heart, preventing regurgitation.

Course Highlights:

🚀 Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle: Uncover what sets cardiac muscle apart from other muscles, including its unique striation pattern, self-excitable property, and involuntary control.

🔬 Cardiac Action Potential Phases: Dive into the intricate phases of the cardiac action potential and the ion channels that govern each phase.

⚠️ Serum Electrolytes Impact on Heart Function: Learn how fluctuations in serum calcium and potassium levels can significantly affect heart muscle performance.

📈 Measuring Cardiac Output: Grasp the methodologies used to calculate cardiac output and its importance in assessing heart health.

🧠 Nervous Mechanisms for Blood Pressure Regulation: Examine the short-term mechanisms controlled by the autonomic nervous system to maintain blood pressure.

🏥 Cardiovascular Regulatory Center: Discover the role of the medulla's cardiovascular regulatory center in long-term blood pressure regulation.

📊 Long-Term Blood Pressure Regulation: Understand the hormonal and other mechanisms that help regulate blood pressure over time.

🌀 Circulatory System Functions: Explore the various roles the circulatory system plays in maintaining homeostasis, including nutrient delivery, waste removal, and immune surveillance.

📉 Flow, Pressure, and Resistance: Learn the principles that govern blood flow within vessels and how they are related to each other.

Key Concepts Covered in the Course:

• Blood Pressure and Normal Values: Understand what constitutes normal blood pressure and the importance of this measurement in cardiovascular health.

• Skeletal and Respiratory Pumps: Explore how these pumps contribute to increasing venous return and the mechanisms behind them.

• Types of Shocks and Their Pathophysiology: Gain insights into different types of shock and their underlying causes and effects on the body.
