Q

Explain what happens in the case of slow accumulation of fluid vs. fast accumulation of fluid.

A

Slow accumulation of fluid can allow for stretching of the pericardium, with build-up of a liter of fluid before tamponade.

Fast accumulation allows no time for stretching of the pericardium and can lead to tamponade with as little as 100 ml of fluid

40
Q

The proxumal parts of large coronary artery branches are not connected by large collaterals to other branches. However, more distally along each branch anastomotic conenctions of various calibers join with neighboring branches. What is the significance of this?

A

Allows for some bidirectional flow between main branches

NOTE: These anastomoses are generally not sufficient to provide colateral pathways around sudden large coronary blockages

41
Q

A

cardiac cycle

44
Q

The period of contraction that the heart undergoes while it pumps blood into circulation is called ______.

A

systole.

45
Q

The period of relaxation that occurs as the chambers fill with blood is called ________.

A

diastole.

46
Q

What are the phases of the cardiac cycle?

A

1st Diastole

1st Systole

2nd Diastole

2nd Systole

NOTE: 1st and 2nd diastole occur at the same time and 1st and 2nd systole occur at the same time

47
Q

What occurs during the 1st Diastole?

A

1st Diastole period

  • Atria and ventricles are relaxed
  • AV valves are open.
  • Impulses from the SA node travel to the AV node and the AV node send signals that trigger both atria to contract.
  • As a result of the contraction, the right atrium empties its contents into the right ventricle.
48
Q

What occurs during the 1st systole?

A

1st systole

  • At the beginning of the first systole period, the right ventricle is filled with blood passed on from the right atrium.
  • The ventricles receive impulses from Purkinje fibers, which carry electrical impulses to the ventricles causing them to contract.
  • AV valves close and the semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic valves) open.
  • Ventricular contraction causes oxygen-depleted blood from the right ventricle to be pumped to the pulmonary artery.
  • The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-depleted blood along the pulmonary circuit to the lungs.
49
Q

What occurs during the 2nd diastole?

A

2nd Diastole Period

  • The semilunar valves close and the atrioventricular valves open.
  • Oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins fills the left atrium.
  • The SA node contracts again triggering both atria to contract. Atrial contraction causes the left atrium to empty its contents into the left ventricle.
50
Q

What occurs during th 2nd systole period?

A

2nd systole period

  • AV valves close and the semilunar valves open.
  • The ventricles receive impulses and contract.
  • Oxygenated blood in the left ventricle is pumped to the aorta
  • The aorta branches out to provide oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through systemic circulation.
  • After its tour through the body, oxygen-depleted blood is returned to the heart via the venae cavae.
