Cardio Overview Part 2 Flashcards
What type of circulation includes the following:
Pulmonary arteries and veins
Pulmonary circulation
What type of circulation includes the following:
Blood vessels between the aorta and venae cavae
Systemic circulation
What type of circulation includes the following:
Coronary arteries and veins
Supplies blood to heart itself
Coronary circulation
What type of pressure is the following:
Left ventricle contracts and ejects the blood into aorta- aorta becomes distended with blood- aortic blood pressure = peak value
Systolic aortic pressure
What type of pressure is the following:
Between ejections, blood flows out of aorta into downstream arteries- outflow of blood from aorta = aortic pressure to decrease
Minimal value of aortic blood pressure reached before next cardiac ejection =
Diastolic aortic pressure
What type of pressure is the following:
Average value of pulsatile blood pressure in aorta
Mean aortic pressure
What is the volume of blood pumped each minute by one ventricle & cardiac outputs of the left and right ventricles are almost equal
Cardiac output
Which circulation is represented by the mean aortic pressure?
Systemic circulation
What pressure is the following:
Difference between mean aortic pressure and mean venae cavae pressure?
Systemic perfusion pressure
What is the perfusion rate for the systemic circuit typically?
95mm Hg
What pressure is the following:
Difference between mean pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins?
Pulmonary perfusion pressure
Pulmonary perfusion pressure of blood flow through lungs?
8mm Hg
The perfusion pressure for systemic circulation is _______ than the perfusion pressure for the pulmonary circulation
Greater
Which circulation is referred to as the high-pressure, high-resistance side of the circulation?
Systemic circulation
Which circulation is referred to as the low-pressure, low-resistance side of the circulation?
Pulmonary circulation
