Actin

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments in the cytoskeleton, and the thin filaments in muscle fibrils.

See Frank–Starling law and Actin

The aorta (aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).

See Frank–Starling law and Aorta

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

See Frank–Starling law and Calcium

Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, with the other two being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.

Dario Maestrini

Dario Maestrini (23 March 1886 – 28 October 1975) was a 20th-century Italian physiologist and scientist.

End-diastolic volume

In cardiovascular physiology, end-diastolic volume (EDV) is the volume of blood in the right or left ventricle at end of filling in diastole which is amount of blood present in ventricle at the end of diastole. Frank–Starling law and end-diastolic volume are cardiovascular physiology.

See Frank–Starling law and End-diastolic volume

Ernest Starling

Ernest Henry Starling (17 April 1866 – 2 May 1927) was a British physiologist who contributed many fundamental ideas to this subject.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ found in most animals.

See Frank–Starling law and Heart

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat divided by the volume of blood when the left ventricle is maximally filled – is normal, defined as greater than 50%; this may be measured by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization.

See Frank–Starling law and Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Muscle contraction

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells.

See Frank–Starling law and Muscle contraction

Myofibril

A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell.

See Frank–Starling law and Myofibril

Myofilament

Myofilaments are the three protein filaments of myofibrils in muscle cells.

See Frank–Starling law and Myofilament

Myosin

Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.

See Frank–Starling law and Myosin

Otto Frank (physiologist)

Otto Frank (21 June 1865 – 12 November 1944) was a Grand Duchy of Hesse born medical doctor and physiologist who made contributions to cardiac physiology and cardiology.

See Frank–Starling law and Otto Frank (physiologist)

Premature ventricular contraction

A premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a common event where the heartbeat is initiated by Purkinje fibers in the ventricles rather than by the sinoatrial node.

See Frank–Starling law and Premature ventricular contraction

Sarcomere

A sarcomere (Greek σάρξ sarx "flesh", μέρος meros "part") is the smallest functional unit of striated muscle tissue.

See Frank–Starling law and Sarcomere

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a membrane-bound structure found within muscle cells that is similar to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in other cells.

See Frank–Starling law and Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle (commonly referred to as muscle) is one of the three types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.

See Frank–Starling law and Skeletal muscle

Sliding filament theory

The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement.

See Frank–Starling law and Sliding filament theory

Starling equation

The Starling principle holds that extracellular fluid movements between blood and tissues are determined by differences in hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) between plasma inside microvessels and interstitial fluid outside them. Frank–Starling law and Starling equation are cardiovascular physiology and Mathematics in medicine.

See Frank–Starling law and Starling equation

Stroke volume

In cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the ventricle per beat. Frank–Starling law and stroke volume are cardiovascular physiology.

See Frank–Starling law and Stroke volume

Troponin

s2cid.

See Frank–Starling law and Troponin

Ventricle (heart)

A ventricle is one of two large chambers located toward the bottom of the heart that collect and expel blood towards the peripheral beds within the body and lungs. Frank–Starling law and ventricle (heart) are cardiovascular physiology.

See Frank–Starling law and Ventricle (heart)
