 OBJECTIVES
:
Identify the heart sounds using an instrument;


Explain how the heart sounds are produced; and

Locate the different arterial points in the body

where pulse can be felt.
HEART
The heart is a hollow, muscular
organ located in the chest cavity
between the lungs.

Its main function is to pump blood
through the blood vessels by repeated,
rhythmic contractions.
HEART beat
At rest, the average heartbeat
is 60 to 100 times per

minute. However as you
exercise or do strenuous
activities, your heart beats
faster.
CARDIAC CYCLE

The Cardiac Cycle

pertains to the

sequence of events
that happen when
the heart beats.


SYSTOLE PHASE OF
THE ATRIA
SYSTOLE PHASE OF
THE VENTRICLES

DIASTOLE PHASE OF ALL
THE CHAMBERS OF THE
H E A RT

During the diastole

phase, all the heart

chambers are
relaxed.
SYSTOLE PHASE
OF THE ATRIA

The atria contract

briefly for only

about 0.1 second
also reduction of
the atrial.
SYSTOLE PHASE
OF THE
VENTRICLES

The Contraction of

the Ventricles.

HEART sounds
As the chambers of the heart
alternately contract and

relax, distinct sounds are
produced. The sound
consists of a pattern of two
syllables: LUB DUB.
STETHOSCOPE

A Stethoscope is
used in listening 
to
heart sounds.

PRESSURE AND ITS
MEASUREMENTS

Blood pressure (BP) is the

force exerted by the
circulating blood upon the
walls of the blood vessels.
B L OO

PRESSURE AND ITS
MEASUREMENTS

Blood pressure (BP) is

always given in two numbers.
