Cardio Pulm Flashcards
Atrial Systole
contraction of R and L atria pushing blood into the ventricles
Atrial diastole
period between atrial contractions when atria are repoloraizing
Ventricular systole
contraction of the ventricles pushing blood into the pulmonary arteries and aorta
Ventricular diastole
period between ventricular contractions with ventricles are repolarizing
Preload
tension in the wall of the ventricles at the end of diastole. it reflects the venous filling pressure that fill left ventricle during diastole
Afterload
the forces that impede to flow of blood out of the heart (pressure in peripheral vascular system, compliance of the aorta, mass and viscosity of blood)
Stoke volume
amt of blood ejected by each contraction of the left ventricle (60-80ml normal)
Cardiac output
amt of blood pumped from R or L ventricle per minute. CO =SV *HR
Normal male=4.5-5 L/min
up to 25L/min during exercise
Neutrophils
fight against infectionby ingesting bacteria and debris
Lymphocytes (3 types)
T and natural killer: protect against viral infection
B lymphocytes: develop into cells that protect against antibodies
Monocytes
ingest dead of damaged cells and help defend against infection organisms
Eosinophils
kill parasites, destroy cancer cells, involved in allergic response
Basophils
participate in allergic response
Polycythemia
too many RBC leading to thick blood and increasing risk of stroke and MI
Anemia
low RBC count»_space;> fatigue and weakness
Thrombocytopenia
low platelets» inc risk of bruising and abnormal bleeding
Throbocythemia
increases risk os thrombus»> inc risk of MI and stroke
Leukopenia
Low WBC increases risk of infection
Leukocytosis
abnormally high WBC count likely indicating infection of leukemia
muscles of inspiration
Diaphragm, external intercostals, internal intercostals,
Muscles of exhalation
with forceful breating: int/ext oblique, rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus,
Anatomic dead space (VD)
The volume of air that occupies to non-respiratory airways
Expiratory reserve volume(ERV)
max vol of air that can be exhaled after normal tidal volume: apporx 15% of total lung volume
Forced expiratory volume (FEV)
max volume of air exhaled in specific amt of time, usually 1st, 2nd, and 3rd second of a forced vital capacity maneuver
