The Pacemaker of the Heart

The Pacemaker of the Heart

The pacemaker of the heart, a tiny area of specialized nervous tissue in the right atrium, sets the heart beating about seventy times a minute. Without it the heart would beat only forty times per minute, which is too slow for the body's needs. The pacemaker, or sinuatrial node, regularly sends out nerve impulses which spread through the two atria, causing them to contract. From the atrioventricular node the contraction spreads down special conducting tissue, the bundle of His, causing the ventricles to contract and pump blood out of the heart.

How the Heart Works

How the Body Works : Inside the Heart

Inside the Heart

The heart is a muscular pumping organ which beats nonstop to circulate blood around the body. It functions as two halves, each consisting of a holding chamber, or atrium, and a pumping center, or ventricle. After circulating around the body, blood, now deoxygenated, returns to the right atrium through large veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. When the atrium is full, blood is forced through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. It is then pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. The oxygenated blood returns via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. After flowing through the mitral valve it is pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta to return to the general circulation.

Learn CPR - You Can Do It!


CPR IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS
http://depts.washington.edu/learncpr/quickcpr.html

1. CALL
Check the victim for unresponsiveness. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. In most locations the emergency dispatcher can assist you with CPR instructions.



2. BLOW
Tilt the head back and listen for breathing. If not breathing normally, pinch nose and cover the mouth with yours and blow until you see the chest rise. Give 2 breaths. Each breath should take 1 second.
3. PUMP

If the victim is still not breathing normally, coughing or moving, begin chest compressions. Push down on the chest 11/2 to 2 inches 30 times right between the nipples. Pump at the rate of 100/minute, faster than once per second.


CONTINUE WITH 2 BREATHS AND 30 PUMPS UNTIL HELP ARRIVES
NOTE: This ratio is the same for one-person & two-person CPR. In two-person CPR the person pumping the chest stops while the other gives mouth-to-mouth breathing.
