Our example says on the graph below, identify the following areas, and we have 4 things that we need to look for on this graph. Before we look for 1, though, let's just orient ourselves to the graph here. This is that pressure graph that we looked at previously. On the y-axis, we have pressure in millimeters of mercury, and on the x-axis, we have time. There are three lines on this graph. Here in black, we see this is the pressure changes in the aorta. The red line is the left ventricle, and the purple line represents the pressure changes in the left atrium. Alright. Now that we've seen that, let's see what it wants us to do. It says a, circle the area or areas of the plot where the atrioventricular valves will be open. Alright. So take a look at the graph. When do you think those AV valves will be open? Well, remember the AV valves will be open whenever the pressure in the ventricle is lower than the pressure in the atrium. That allows blood from the atrium to push that AV valve open and flow into the ventricle. Now on this graph, that means that it's going to be the times when the red line is lower than the purple line. So I see that here and I see that here. Now you'll see that on the graph here, those areas have that sort of bluish background that represents that this is the period of the cardiac cycle that we call ventricular filling. Alright. So I've done a. I'm going to cross that out. Next, we have b. Put a box around the area or areas where the semilunar valves will be open. Alright. Again, take a look at this graph. Where do you think the semilunar valves will be open? Well, the semilunar valves are going to be open whenever the pressure in the ventricle is greater than the pressure in the artery. That means that the blood's going to be pushing out of the ventricle and will push that semilunar valve open. So in this graph, it's when this red line representing the pressure in the left ventricle is greater than the pressure in this black line representing the aorta, and that's this area right there. On this graph, it has that sort of beige background representing the stage of the cardiac cycle we call ventricular ejection, when blood is being pushed out of the heart. Alright. I've done b. I'll cross that out. Next it says, c, place a star where you would hear the first heart sound, the lub of a heartbeat. Alright? So where would you put that star? Well, the lub, right, that's the first heart sound. Remember, the heart sounds come from the valves closing, and we said that whenever the lines cross on this graph, that represents a valve either opening or closing. So where would that first heart sound come? That's when the AV valve closes and that's when that pressure in the ventricle shoots up and crosses that line that's the pressure in the atrium. So that happens right here. Alright. Next, we have place an x where you would hear the second heart sound, the dub of a heartbeat. Alright? So where would you put that x? Well, I would put that x, well, again, where these lines cross. And here, where the valve is going to close, is where the pressure in the ventricle falls down again below the pressure in the artery or the pressure in the ureter. That happens right here. So I will put my x right here on the graph. And with that, we've marked up the graph how we were asked. Again, remember, always think what is the relative pressure in these two different places, and that's going to tell you what's happening in the heart. We'll practice it some more. I'll see you there.
