5.01 Notes Flashcards
Shock is defined as
Inadequate cellular perfusion
Cells require __,___,___ to carry out cellular processes to produce energy in the form of ____
Oxygen , water, and glucose. Adenosine triphospahte
When the cells do not receive their requirements via the bloodstream, the cells cannot create energy and are categorized as
Hypoperfused
If cells are hypoperfused , tissues and organs are also hypoperfused. In the early stages of shock, the body will attempt to compensate by maintaining ___
Homeostasis
This is the circulation of blood to the tissues in adequate amounts to meet the cells needs
Perfusion
There are two circuits in the body :
The systemic circulation
Pulmonary circulation
The systemic circulation is between the
Heart and the body
The pulmonary circulation is between the
Heart and the lungs
The systemic circulation carries oxygen rich blood from the ___ through the body and back to the _____
Left ventricle
Right atrium
Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass rapidly across the thin walls of the alveoli by the process of
Diffusion
A passive process in which molecule move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration
Diffusion
Carbon dioxide waste products released from cells can combine with water in the bloodstream to form
Biocarbonate
_______ concentrations become higher as more carbon dioxide is produced and blood moves back toward the lungs
Biocarbonate
To protect vital organs from hypoperfusion the body attempts to compensate by directing blood flow away from organs that are more tolerant of shock (___,and__), to organs that cannot tolerate shock(such as the ___,___,and the ___)if theses tissues do not have adequate perfusion restored, they can die,resulting in permanent damage to the tissues and organs
Skin and intestines
Heart,brain,and lungs
The cardiovascular system consists of three parts
A pump (the heart),a set of pipes(the blood vessels or arteries that act as the container) and the contents of the container(the blood)
The heart,blood vessels or arteries that act as a container and the contents of the container (the blood). These three parts are referred to as
Perfusion triangle
When a patient is in shock, of the three parts of the ____ is not working properly
Perfusion triangle
Blood is composed of
Red blood cell , white blood cells , platelets, and plasma
Are responsible for transporting oxygen to the cells and transporting carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs, where it is exhaled and removed from the body
Red blood cells
Helps the body fight infection
White blood cells
Assist in forming blood clots
Platelets
Contains electrolytes and fluid which are important for cells to function
Plasma
