A & P - FINAL EXAM Flashcards
layers of the heart
epicardium: external
myocardium: middle (95% of wall)
endocardium: inner
valves of the heart
AV: tricuspid, bicuspid (mitral)
SV: aortic, pulmonary
tricuspid valve
chordae tendinae
controls opening & closing of valves
bicuspid valve
receives blood from lungs via pulmonary veins & delivers to left ventricle
pathway of blood through the heart
aortic valve -> aortic arch -> coronary arteries -> descending aorta -> rest of body
AV valves
tricuspid: right atrium -> right ventricle
bicuspid: left atrium -> left ventricle
SV valves
aortic: right ventricle -> aorta & systemic circulation
pulmonary: left ventricle -> pulmonary trunk & pulmonary circulation
pulmonary circulation - how blood is going from heart to lungs & back
right ventricle -> pulmonary valve -> pulmonary trunk -> lungs
arteries / branches of the heart (LAC RPM)
LEFT coronary artery: anterior interventricular, circumflex
RIGHT coronary artery: posterior interventricular, marginal
veins of the heart - what do they drain & where
Great cardiac vein – drains ventricles & left atrium
Middle cardiac vein – drains ventricles
Small cardiac vein – drains right atrium & right ventricle
Anterior cardiac vein – right ventricle & right atrium
*ALL drain into CORONARY SINUS
first branch off aorta
CORONARY ARTERIES
conduction system of heart – where electricity starts & where it goes
SA node → AV node → AV bundle of HIS → right & left bundle branches → Purkinje Fibers
pectinate muscles (muscles in the heart)
in wall of right atirum
form ridges that extend into auricle
(auricle = slightly increases capacity of atria)
trabeculae carneae (muscles in the heart)
muscles that form ridges & convey electricity
chordae tendineae (muscles in the heart)
tendons attached to cusps of tricuspid valve
control opening / closing
papillary muscles (muscles in the heart)
type of trabeculae carneae – attached to chordae tendineae
structures in conducting zone
CONDUCTING ZONE: no gas exchange
Nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
structures in respiratory zone
RESPIRATORY ZONE: gas exchange occurs
Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli
muscles involved in quiet inhalation
diaphragm & external intercostals contract
muscles involved in forced inhalation
SCM, scalenes, pec minor contract
muscles involved in quiet exhalation
diaphragm & external intercostals relax
muscles involved in forced exhalation
abdominal & internal intercostals contract
flaps open vs. closed when eating, breathing/ swallowing
EPIGLOTTIS:
OPEN – during breathing
CLOSED – during eating / swallowing
Types of cells that line alveoli & their function
Type I alveolar cells: main site of gas exchange
Type II alveolar cells: secrete surfactant
Alveolar Macrophages: dust cells – phagocytes remove dust & debris
surfactant function
REDUCE surface tension
Reduce friction
Diaphragm – inhaling – contracting & relaxing
diaphragm & external intercostals contract during INHALATION volume of thoracic cavity & pleural cavity INCREASES (Boyle’s Law)
pressure DECREASES
RULE #1
substances always flow from regions of high pressure to low pressure to balance out
BOYLE’S LAW
=inversely proportional
Volume up: pressure down
Pressure down: volume up
DALTON’S LAW
Mixture of gasses together (air)
Gas has its own pressure
=independant
HENRY’S LAW
Gasses in a solution (liquids like blood / plasma)
How our body absorbs fat & what specialized structures exist for it
Lacteals – specialized lymphatic capillaries
Take up dietary lipids too large to cross membrane
“Chyle” → acts as a BYPASS to get extra large molecules into bloodstream
lymph flow through a lymph node
Afferent vessel
Subcapsular sinus
Trabeculae sinus
Medullary sinus
Out of HILUM via efferent vessel
order of lymphatic flow
Lymphatic capillaries
Lymphatic vessels
Regional lymph nodes
Lymphatic trunks
Lymphatic ducts
Tonsils – where are they & what they do – how many do you have
Large cluster of lymphatic nodules (tonsils / patches)
Peyer’s patches are in small intestine
We have 5 tonsils:
1 Pharyngeal (adenoid) tonsil: posterior nasopharynx
2 Palatine tonsils: posterior oral cavity (*most commonly removed)
2 Lingual tonsils: at base of tongue
which tonsil is most commonly removed?
Palatine tonsils
Which lymphatic duct drains which region of the body
RIGHT lymphatic duct: drains right upper body & head
LEFT (thoracic) duct: drains rest of body
Cisterna of Chyli
Origin of LEFT thoracic duct
Collects lymph from lumbar & intestinal trunks
MALT
mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue
CELL MEDIATED IMMUNITY
inside cell
T cells (cytotoxic T cells) attacking cells
Effective against: intracellular pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungi), cancer cells
Memory T cells also produced
Memory helper cells
Helper T cells
Cytotoxic T cells (granzymes, perforins, granulysin)
Last line of defense
Fight microbes
ANTIBODY MEDIATED IMMUNITY
in body fluids (blood & lymph) outside cell
B cells – transform into plasma cells that produce antibodies / immunoglobulins
Effective against: extracellular pathogens (virus, bacteria, fungi)
Memory B cells also produced
Plasma cells
B cells
Fight things outside cell
How do cytotoxic T cells kill things?
GRANZYMES: trigger apoptosis
PERFORINS: form channels / holes – cytolysis
GRANULYSIN: perforin channels – poke holes in antigen plasma membrane
plasma cells
B cells (antibody mediated) → produce PLASMA cells
make ANTIBODIES
what is MHC?
Major histocompatibility complex
Markers / flags on plasma membrane
Self recognition – “i am me”
Identify each cell in body whether it belongs or not
MHC I
Built into plasma membranes of all cells (EXCEPT RBCs)
Let cytotoxic T cells know that it has been invaded (inside cell)
MHC II
Built into antigen presenting cell (outside cell)
steps of phagocytosis (CAIDD)
Chemotaxis
Adherence
Ingestion
Digestion
Death
IgG
most abundant (80%), crosses placenta, long term immunity
IgA
found in breast milk, sweat & tears, saliva, mucus, GI secretions
IgM
found in blood & lymph, appears 1st, short lived, activates complement system
IgD
Activates B cells
