ECG | Vein and artery #8 |physiology

 Stroke volume :


Stroke volume is defined as Volume of blood pumped by heart in one Cardiac cycle.

Stroke volume = 70 ml


Cardiac output :


Cardiac output is defined as Volume of blood pumped by heart in one minute.

Cardiac output = Heart rate * stroke vol.

                           = 72 * 70

                            = 5040 ml (approximately 5L)


Blood pressure :


• Pressure exerted by blood on the wall of blood vessels.

• Blood pressure measured by sphygmomanometer.

• Normal value = 120/80 mm of Hg

120 = systolic pressure

80 = diastolic pressure


ECG (Electro Cardio Gram) :


• ECG is the representation of electrical activity of heart.

• It is measured by an instrument Electro CardioGraph.

• 1st invented by Einthoven.

• In ECG, P-wave represent artrial deploarization

• Q-wave represent beginning of ventricular depolarization.

• QRS complex represent ventricular depolarization.

• T-wave represent ventricular repolarization.

Note :-

•Number of QRS complex = Number of heart beat

•ST segment depressed = myocardial Ischemia

•ST segment devated = myocardial infarction

•If graph becomes a straight line cardiac arrest occur (person die) and instrument produce sound pip.........pip......ppppppeeeeeeee........... 


Artery :-


• It Carry blood away from heart.

• Narrow lumen.

• Blood flow is under high pressure.

• It Carry oxygenated blood except Umbilical artery and pulmonary artery.


Vein :-


• It Carry blood towards heart.

• Wide lumen.

• Blood flow is under low pressure.

• It Carry deoxygenated blood except Umbilical vein and pulmonary vein.
