Chapter 13, Problem 8aCP

To review:

The sequence of events that occurs during the cardiac cycle through flow chart and the indication of contraction of auricle and ventricle and their relaxation.

Introduction:

Circulatory system circulates the blood into two directions simultaneously, one from the heart to the body known as systematic circulation and the other from the body to the heart, from where it goes to the lungs for purification called the pulmonary circulation and the whole process is known as double circulation.

Summary Introduction

Explanation:

The right side of the heart contains blood which is poor in oxygen and the left side contains oxygen-rich blood, the atrioventricular (AV) valve and semilunar valves that are present between the auricle and ventricle on their side and at the opening of pulmonary artery and aorta, respectively. These prevent the back flow in the heart. The right auricle is usually filled with the deoxygenated blood by superior or inferior vena cava and the left auricle is filled by the oxygenated blood coming from lungs by the pulmonary veins.

The contraction (systole) of auricles on both sides start after they are completely filled with the blood and the blood enters in their corresponding ventricles through AV valves, as soon as the ventricles are filled up and starts contracting. The AV valves are closed to prevent the back flow of blood and starts auricular relaxation. The blood from right ventricle moves to the lungs for its purification through pulmonary artery and oxygenated blood from left ventricle is transported to other body parts through the aorta. This completes one cycle of double circulation of blood in the body and it is known as a cardiac cycle, and this cycle is continuous. The diagram below shows the steps of cardiac cycle:

Human Physiology, Chapter 13, Problem 8aCP

Diastole means relaxation of the auricles and ventricles and systole is the contraction of auricles and ventricles. Atrial diastole occurs when the blood returns to the atria from vena cava on right side and from pulmonary vein on left side. The valves of the heart, during this time, are closed and muscles are relaxed. When the atria are filled, the AV valves open and atrial systole occurs. The ventricular systole occurs when they are completely filled and semilunar valves open and blood releases out from the ventricles and cause diastole of ventricles. This way the cardiac cycle goes on till the heart is functional.

A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation?   The cell membranes are more resistant than normal.   An isotonic solution had been added instead of water.   A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water.   Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet.   The man had sickle-cell anaemia.

With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobin
