Assessment of cardiovascular system Flashcards
function of cardiovascular system
generation of blood pressure
2 types of routing blood
pulmonic and systematic
circulation of pulmonic
heart to lungs for oxygenation
circulation of systematic
oxygenated blood for lungs to the body; deoxygenated blood from the body to heart for reoxygenation
ensure one way blood flow
heart valves
regulate the blood supply
sphincters in the blood vessels
where is the heart enclosed
thoracic cavity/ inverted hole
is the point of maximal impulse
apical pulse
where to auscultate when you are asked to take the apical pulse
5th intercostal space
2 types of pericardium
fibrous
serous
pericardium that adheres to the chest wall
fibrous
pericardium that includes parietal and visceral
serous
pericardium that covers the heart
visceral
responsible for the lubrication of the heart
pericardial cavity with pericardial fluid
4 chambers of the heart
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
reservoirs of blood or collecting chambers receives blood from either the vena cava or pulmonary veins
atria
major blood pumping chambers which pump blood to the aorta or pulmonary arteries
ventricles
major pumping chamber
left ventricle because of the EXERT OF THE HIGH PRESSURE IN AORTA, and also thicker MYOCARDIUM
oxygenated blood; left or right chamber
left
deoxygenated blood; left or right chamber
right
muscle layer of the heart
myocardium
part between left and right atria and ventricles
septum
is septum open when we are in our mothers womb
yes
is lungs functioning when we are our mothers womb
no
is septum open when we are born
no
is lungs functioning when we are born
yes
pumping of deoxygenated blood to the body will present
cyanosis
pumping of deoxygenated blood to the body the fingers will be
clubbed
prevent regurgitation by ensuring one-way blood flow
heart valves
2 valves of AV
mitral and tricuspid valve
prevents blood from regurgitating to ensure it does not flow from ventricle to atria
mitral and tricuspid valve
2 valves of semilunar
aortic (left ventricle) and pulmonic (right ventricle)
comes from the closure of the heart valves
heart sounds
is the closure of the av valves
lub or S1
is the closure of the semilunar valves
dub or s2
when ventricles contract the av valves should be _____ while the semilunar valves are ______
closed; open
when atria contract the av valves should be _____ while the semilunar valves are ______
open; close
best place to hear aortic valve (intercostal space and border)
2nd intercostal space, right sternal border
best place to hear pulmonic valve (intercostal space and border)
left 2nd intercostal space, left sternal border
best place to hear tricuspid valve (intercostal space and border)
4th intercostal space , left sternal border
best place to hear tricuspid valve (intercostal space and border)
4th intercostal space , left sternal border
best place to hear mitral valve (intercostal space and border)
5th intercostal space, mid clavicular line
best landmark for pulmonary and cardiac assessment is
sternal angle of louis
dub is louder at the (intercostal space and border)
2nd intercostal space, both left and right border (aortic and pulmonic)
lub is louder at the (intercostal space and border)
4th intercostal space, midclavicular line, 5th intercostal space, midclavicular line
skeletal muscles receives % of oxygen when we rest
30
skeletal muscles receives % of oxygen when we exercis
increases to 70
cardiac muscles receives % of oxygen when we rest
70
