Q

What are venous valves?

A

One way valves. Relies on skeletal muscle

17
Q

What are varicose veins?

A

“Spider web veins” they are caused by distended veins.
Venous valves become incompetent
May lead to edema of foot or leg

18
Q

What is and what causes arteriosclerosis?

A

Any hardening of arteries (fatty acids, cholesterol, etc.) Produces plaque

19
Q

What is and what causes atherosclerosis?

A

Hardening of an artery (typically coronary artery) due to plaque build up

20
Q

Describe a normal venous return system

A

Blood from heart to capillary bed to heart

21
Q

Describe a portal system.

A

Blood from heart to capillary bed to another capillary bed to the heart

22
Q

What is the purpose of a portal system?

A

Blood will go through the abdominal organs then through the capillary beds in the liver to be cleaned out. Nutrient exchange and detoxification.

23
Q

What are some arteries in the head?

A
  • temporal artery

- internal/external cartoid

24
Q

What are some arteries in the arm?

A
  • axillary artery
  • brachial artery
  • radial artery
  • ulnar artery
25
Q

What are hepatic portals?

A

The intestine has its own set of veins. Large to small intestines to liver. Hepatic vein goes back to the heart

26
Q

What is the average resting heart rate?

A

72 bpm

27
Q

How do you find your resting heart rate?

A

Find vessel, count for 10 sec then mult by 6

28
Q

What is normal blood pressure?

A

120/80

29
Q

What does the 120 in 120/80 stand for?

A

Systolic pressure: Blood as it is ejected by the ventricles (contraction)

30
Q

What does the 80 in 120/80 stand for?

A

Diastolic pressure: Pressure after closing of valve (relaxation)

31
Q

What is the instrument that measures blood pressure called?

A

sphygmomanometer

32
Q

What is the first sound you hear when you are measuring someone’s blood pressure?

A

Systolic pressure (contraction of the ventricles)

33
Q

What is the second sound you hear when you’re measuring someone’s blood pressure?

A

Diastolic pressure (relaxation of the ventricles)

34
Q

Pulse pressure is measured by subtracting what two numbers?

A

Systolic - diastolic
