Fig. 4.10 - Effect of Heart Rate on Contractility: Positive Staircase & Postextrasystolic Potentiation Section: Effect of Heart Rate on Contractility

The diagram presents two side-by-side graphs illustrating tension versus time, labeled "Positive staircase" and "Postextrasystolic potentiation."

Two graphs showing tension vs time demonstrating how heart rate changes affect contractility - the Bowditch staircase effect (A) and postextrasystolic potentiation (B).

Fig. - Mechanism of Cardiac Glycosides on Contractility Section: Effect of Cardiac Glycosides on Contractility

A diagram illustrates a cellular process with labeled components including ATP, cardiac glycosides, and ions, connected by arrows within a blue rectangular structure.

Diagram of the Na+/K+-ATPase pump inhibition by cardiac glycosides, showing how intracellular Ca2+ rises to increase contractility.

Fig. 4.21 - Systolic and Diastolic Left Ventricular Pressure-Volume Curves Section: Length-Tension Relationship in Cardiac Muscle

Two curved lines, one red and one blue, intersect within a graph labeled with "Systole" and "Diastole."

Active (systolic) and passive (diastolic) pressure as a function of end-diastolic volume - the length-tension curve extended to the whole ventricle.

Fig. 4.26 - Normal Ventricular Pressure-Volume Loop Section: Normal Ventricular Pressure-Volume Loop

Two curved lines, one red and one blue, along with labeled arrows and numbers within a circular-shaped graph.

The full cardiac cycle shown as a pressure-volume loop - diastolic filling, isovolumetric contraction, ejection, and isovolumetric relaxation.

Fig. - Cardiac Function (Frank-Starling) Curve Section: Cardiac Function Curve

A curved line labeled with "Normal" shows a relationship between two axes within a graph.

Cardiac output plotted as a function of right atrial pressure (preload), illustrating the Frank-Starling mechanism at the whole-heart level.

Fig. - Cardiac Output and Venous Return Curves Section: Cardiac Output Curve / Vascular Function Curve

A graph has two intersecting curves, one labeled "Cardiac function curve" and the other "Vascular function curve," with labeled arrows.

The equilibrium point where cardiac output equals venous return, used to predict steady-state cardiac output and right atrial pressure.

Fig. - ECG Waveform Section: Electrocardiogram (ECG)

A diagram shows a wave labeled with letters "P," "Q," "R," "S," and "T," plotted on a graph with time on the x-axis and millivolts on the y-axis.

The normal ECG waveform with P, QRS, and T waves labeled, showing the electrical events of the cardiac cycle.

Fig. - Circuitry of the Cardiovascular System Section: Circuitry of the Cardiovascular System

A diagram shows the pulmonary and systemic circulations with labeled chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, and various vessels.

Overview diagram of the entire cardiovascular circuit - pulmonary (right heart to lungs) and systemic (left heart to body) circulations.

Fig. - Pressures in the Cardiovascular System Section: Pressures in the Cardiovascular System

A diagram shows a simplified heart and vessel diagram with labeled pressure values at different points in the circulatory system.

Normal pressure values (mmHg) at each point in the pulmonary and systemic circulations, from arteries through capillaries to veins.

Fig. - Cardiac Action Potentials Section: Cardiac Action Potentials

A graph shows two action potential curves, one for a ventricular cell and one for a pacemaker cell, with labeled phases and ion channels.

Comparison of ventricular myocyte (fast response) and SA node pacemaker (slow response) action potentials with their ionic mechanisms.

Fig. - Brain Stem Cardiovascular Centers Section: Brain Stem Cardiovascular Centers

A diagram illustrates the brain stem with labeled cardiovascular control centers and their connections to the heart and blood vessels.

Medullary cardiovascular control centers (vasomotor and cardioinhibitory) and their autonomic efferent pathways.

Medical Physiology (Boron & Boulpaep)

Fig. - Cardiac Muscle Morphology (Intercalated Discs) Section: Action potentials propagate between adjacent cardiac myocytes through gap junctions

A diagram of cardiac muscle fibers showing intercalated discs, sarcomeres, and branching architecture.

Cardiac myocyte ultrastructure showing intercalated discs (desmosomes + gap junctions) that mechanically and electrically couple adjacent cells.

Fig. - Early Embryonic Circulation and Development of Major Blood Vessels (from General Anatomy & Musculoskeletal System, THIEME Atlas)

A diagram illustrates a cross-section of an embryo with labeled arteries and veins in red and blue, branching throughout the body.

Cross-sectional view of embryonic circulation showing development of major arterial and venous vessels (red = arteries, blue = veins).

General Anatomy & Musculoskeletal System (THIEME Atlas)

Fig. - Lower Limb Arterial Supply (Aorta to Foot) Section: Branches of the posterior tibial artery

A diagram illustrates several arteries branching from the abdominal aorta, labeled with names and connected by lines.

Overview diagram of lower limb arterial supply from the abdominal aorta through femoral, popliteal, and tibial arteries.

Fig. - Popliteal and Genicular Arteries Section: Branches of the posterior tibial artery

A diagram illustrates branching arteries, labeled with anatomical names like popliteal, genicular, and tibial arteries.

Detailed branching of the popliteal artery into genicular and tibial branches at the knee.

A diagram illustrates the lymphatic drainage and arterial pathways within the pelvic region, highlighting structures like the aorta and inguinal nodes.

Arterial supply and lymphatic drainage of the testis, showing connections to the abdominal aorta and inguinal lymph nodes.

Fig. - Dorsal Penile Vessels and Nerves Section: Dorsal vessels and nerves of the penis

A diagram illustrates branching vessels and nerves labeled with anatomical terms like "penile artery" and "urethral artery" across multiple views.

Dorsal penile artery branches and accompanying nerves on the penis shaft.

Fig. - Posterior Tibial Artery Interosseous Branches Section: Branches of the posterior tibial artery
