Q

Process of Clotting

A
  1. vessel gets injured - collagen and VWF
  2. Platelets stick –> becomes activates
  3. activated platelets release
    a) serotonin (spasm)
    b) ADP & Thromboxane A2 (recruit more platelets)
    c) thrombin (fibrinogen–>fibrin)

Q

Organs* involved in RBCs

A

Liver, spleen, kidney, bones

18
Q

When there is low O2,

A

Kidney and liver release EPO to stimulate red bone marrow to increase RBC count so blood will have higher amount of o2

19
Q

Clotting Imbalances

A

Deep Vein Thrombosis (big clot in a vein)
Embolus (clot breaks off and moves through vein)
hemophilia

20

  3. endocardium
22
Q

A

contraction

23
Q

A

relaxation

24
Q

Conduction system

25
Heart attack
blood flow is blocking part of the heart tissue
26
cardiac arrest
heart stops beating
27
fibrillation
a rapid, uncoordinated shuddering of the heart muscle
28
Tachycardia
hear beat too fast
29
Bradycardia
heartrate too low
30
Arteries
thick, narrow, tough walls take blood from the heart under high pressure
31
Aneurysm
weakening of an artery's wall which leads to its burst
32
Veins
thin, elastic, wider walls take blood too the heart low pressure-- has valves to ensure that blood moves only to the heart
33
varicose veins
twisted, enlarged veins
34
Capillaries
smallest vessel, connect arteries and veins only have a single layer of cells, facilitating easy passage of small molecules the more active the organ or tissue, the more complex the bed
35
circle of willis
arteries of the brain that form a circle ensure oxygenated blood for the brain
36
Hepatic portal
veins that drain blood from digestive organs and brings it to the liver
37
Fetal circulation
b/c lungs aren't working, ductus arteriosus connects pulmonary artery and aorta foramen ovale connects the left and right atrium
38
Pulse
wave of blood moving through arteries
39
normal blood pressure
140-110 systolic 80-75 diastolic
40
too high blood pressure
hypertension
41
too low blood pressure
hypotension
