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
Q

Pericardium

A

layer around the heart

21
Q

Layers of the heart

A
  1. epicardium
  2. myocardium
  3. endocardium
22
Q

Systole

A

contraction

23
Q

Diastole

A

relaxation

24
Q

Conduction system

A

SA node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers

25
Q

Heart attack

A

blood flow is blocking part of the heart tissue

26
Q

cardiac arrest

A

heart stops beating

27
Q

fibrillation

A

a rapid, uncoordinated shuddering of the heart muscle

28
Q

Tachycardia

A

hear beat too fast

29
Q

Bradycardia

A

heartrate too low

30
Q

Arteries

A

thick, narrow, tough walls
take blood from the heart
under high pressure

31
Q

Aneurysm

A

weakening of an artery’s wall which leads to its burst

32
Q

Veins

A

thin, elastic, wider walls
take blood too the heart
low pressure– has valves to ensure that blood moves only to the heart

33
Q

varicose veins

A

twisted, enlarged veins

34
Q

Capillaries

A

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
Q

circle of willis

A

arteries of the brain that form a circle
ensure oxygenated blood for the brain

36
Q

Hepatic portal

A

veins that drain blood from digestive organs and brings it to the liver

37
Q

Fetal circulation

A

b/c lungs aren’t working, ductus arteriosus connects pulmonary artery and aorta
foramen ovale connects the left and right atrium

38
Q

Pulse

A

wave of blood moving through arteries

39
Q

normal blood pressure

A

140-110 systolic
80-75 diastolic

40
Q

too high blood pressure

A

hypertension

41
Q

too low blood pressure

A

hypotension
