CARDIAC MECHANICS(ANATOMY) Flashcards
TYPES OF CIRCULATION
GENERAL:PULMONARY,SYSTEMIC,FETAL,HEPATIC
SPECIAL:CORONARY,CEREBRAL,RENAL
SUBSTANCES
DIFFUSION
SUBSTANCES DISSOLVED ON THE CONTINOUS MEDIUM ARE UNIFORMLY DISPERSED,BROWNIAN
DIFFUSION-OCCURS SLOWLY OVER LARGE DISTANCE BUT RAPIDLY OVER SHORT DISTANCE ALSO DEPEND ON CONCENTRATION
ADULT HUMAN HEART ON AVERAGE PUMPS
5-35 LITRS OF BLOOD PER MINUTE
4 BILLION BEATS IN A LIFETIME
VENTRICULA WALLS ARE MADE OF
SINOSPIRAL (FROM TRICUSPID)
BULBOSPIRAL(FROM BICUSPID)
3 MECHANISMS AT WHICH BLOOD IS EJECTED FROM RIGHT VENTRICLE
SHORTENING OF LONGITUDINAL AXIS
MOVEMENT OF FREE RV TOWARDS CONVEX INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTUM
CONTRACTION OF LV CAUSE GREATER CURVATURE OF SEPTUM
FUNCTIONAL GEOMETRY OF LV
HAS SMALL SA RELATIVE TO V
CONTRACTION RESULT IN SHORTENING OF LENGTH AND DIAMETER
LATTER PRODUCES GREATER POWER
BP
CO*PVR
SVHRPVR
PEAK PRESSURE IN CENTRAL AORTA
SV OF LEFT VENTRICLE (DIURETICS)
PEAK RATE OF EJECTION (BETA BLOCKADE)
THE DISTENSIBILITY OF THE AORTA (VASODILATORS)
