Introduction to Cardiovascular Physiology
Discussion on the differences between cardiac and skeletal muscle, emphasizing the structure and function of cardiac muscle in the heart.
Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle
Exploration of the unique characteristics of cardiac muscle, including its specialized fibers for different functions and the importance of contraction and compression.
Comparison with Skeletal Muscle
Comparison between cardiac and skeletal muscle, focusing on common characteristics such as striations, troponin protein presence, and functionality.
Structure of Cardiac Muscle
Detailed explanation of the structure of cardiac muscle, emphasizing intercalated discs, branching fibers, and the role of calcium in contraction and relaxation.
Excitability and Action Potential
Discussion on the excitability of cardiac muscle cells, differences in action potential duration compared to skeletal muscle, and the role of ion channels in generating and propagating action potentials.
Automaticity and Conductivity
Explanation of automaticity in cardiac muscle cells and the specialized fibers responsible for the conduction of electrical signals, leading to rhythmic generation of action potentials.
Contracción Cardíaca
Se explica el proceso de contracción de los ventrículos y aurículas, destacando la importancia del tiempo de retardo y la propagación del potencial de acción en el músculo cardíaco.
Actividad Eléctrica del Corazón
Se describe el electrocardiograma como una medida de la actividad eléctrica del corazón, explicando la relación entre los potenciales de acción, la despolarización y la repolarización en las aurículas y ventrículos.
Estructuras del Electrocardiograma
Se analizan las estructuras y ondas del electrocardiograma, como la onda P, el complejo QRS y la onda T, resaltando su relación con la actividad eléctrica y mecánica del corazón.
Ruidos Cardíacos
Se explora la clasificación de los ruidos cardíacos (S1, S2, S3, S4) y se detalla el significado de cada uno, relacionándolos con la actividad de las válvulas cardíacas durante el ciclo cardíaco.
Fases del Ciclo Cardíaco
Se detallan las fases del ciclo cardíaco, desde la contracción isovolumétrica hasta la relajación del músculo cardíaco, incluyendo la apertura y cierre de las válvulas durante la sístole y diástole.
