Q

Explain pulse and blood pressure measurement

A

Systole: Heart contracts 60-120 x’s/minute

Diastole: relaxing/filling of heart

Blood pressure: 120 mm/80 hg
Systolic=mm
Dialostic=HG

Q

Define pulmanated artery.

A

Only artery to not carry O2 blood away from heart. Instead carries de-oxygenated blood to lungs from RIGHT side of heart.

17
Q

Describe 3 layers of artery wall.

A

1- outer layer is loose fibrous connective tissue

2- muscular middle layer

3- smooth epithelial layer

18
Q

Define capillaries.

A

Smallest blood vessels and connect VENULES AND ARTERIOLES.

Also O2, CO2, nutrients and waste exchange here

19
Q

Define veins.

A

Capillaries widen to become venules- then widen to be veins. This is after the are perfumed w oxygen.

Bring deoxygenated blood to RIGHT side of heart. Except pulmonary vein- which brings de-O2 blood from lungs to left side of heart.

20
Q

Describe physical description of veins.

A

Thin and will collapse. Have one-way valve.

21
Q

Vein fun facts

A

All go to superior vena cava or inferior vena cava

22
Q

Which veins have corresponding arteries?

A

Deep veins have corresponding arteries. Superficial DO NOT.

23
Q

Which ventricle pumps O2 blood thru aorta?

A

LEFT. the left ventricle pumps O2 blood thru the aorta

24
Q

Define arteries.

A

Deliver blood to tissue and cells

25
Q

Define Venous System.

A

DeO2 blood brought to right side of heart to lungs to get oxygenated again and re-start process.

26
Q

Aorta. Define and describe 5 parts.

A
Largest Artery. 
1- ascending (heart/arch)
2- aorta arch
3- descending (distal L from subclavian artery)
4- thoracic (descend above diaphram)
5- abdominal (descend below diaphram)
27
Q

Name 3 arteries that branch from aortic arch.

A

Brachiocephic (Innominate artery)
FIRST BRANCH OFF ARCH

Left Common Corotad Artery

Left Subclavian Artery

28
Q

What does the brachiocephic artery branch into?

A

Right Common Carotid Artery

Right Subclavian Artery

29
Q

What supplies the neck and right arm?

A

RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

30
Q

Describe path of RIGHT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

A

Divided into:

Right Vertebral Artery (post cerebral circulatory) also- first branch

Axillary Artery ➡️ brachial ➡️ R radial & R ulnar

31
Q

What feeds:

Shoulders

A

Axillary

32
Q

What feeds:

ARMS

A

Brachial

33
Q

What feeds:

Arm & hand

A

Right radial and right ulnar arteries

34
Q

Describe path of RIGHT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY

A

Divided into:

R External Carotid Artery (head,neck and face)

R Internal Carotid Artery (brain)

35
Q

Describe left common carotid artery

A

2nd branch off aorta.

Divided into:
- L external carotid artery (head, face, neck)

  • L internal carotid artery (brain)
36
Q

Describe path of

LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY

A

3rd branch off aorta

Divided into:
- Left Vertebral Artery (post cerebral circulation)

-L axillary art (shoulder/arm)➡️brachial artery, which splits into radial & ulnar (arm & hand)

37
Q

List 3 major vascular systems

A

Cerebral
Visceral
Peripheral

38
Q

Name types of peripheral veins

A

Superficial: close to surface. No corresponding arteries

Deep: GSV, LSV, perforating veins connect lesser and greater veins.

39
Q

Where does GSV (great Saphenous vein begin and end?

A

Begins at foot on medial side of leg and drains into the femoral vein at groin.

40
Q

Describe LSV (less Saphenous vein) path.

A

Starts at back of leg and ends in popatiel vein

41
Q

Explain peripheral drainage.

A

Posterior tibia➡ popiteal➡️femoral➡️external iliac ➡️ UNITES hypogastric➡️ common iliac vein➡️ inferior vena cava ENDS

42
Q

GSV

A

Great Saphenous Veins
