Cardiopulmonary Systems Flashcards
Functions of the cardiovascular system
Delivers O2
Transport hormones,
Removes metabolic waste
Regulates body temp
Transports immune system cells
Capillaries
Connection between arteries and veins to allow for exchange of O2 nutrients and waste
How does the heart oxygante blood
Deoxygenated blood into the R atrium
Tricuspid valve R ventricle
Pulmonary artery (only artery in the body with deoxygenated blood)
Pulmonary Vein oxygenated blood to the L atrium
Mitral valve into L ventricle
Through aorta to body
Angiogenesis
Formation of vascular branches from existing blood vessels
Thought out life
Vasculogenesus
Formation of arteries and veins
Only during embryonic development
3 layers of the blood vessels
Tunica externa
(Outer connective tissue)
Tunica media
(Middle smooth muscle layer )
Tunica intima
(Inner endothelial layer )
Para sympathetic nervous system
Dec hr and causes vasodialation
Sympathetic nervous system
Inc HR and causes vasoconstriction
At what week does the heart develop after conception
3rd
At what week does the heart start to beat and pump blood
4th
At what week does the heart form the chambers ?
7th
What is a shunting system
Small passages for blood to travel through in order to bypass body parts that are not yet developed
Congenital heart disease
1% live births have Congenital heart disease
Leading non infectious cause of death
Cardio vascular in development in childhood
Left ventricle wall becomes twice as thick by adulthood
Heart size inc at similar rate as body weight inc
Myocytes is what type of muscle fibers ?
Cardiac
Cardiac muscle development
Inc Number of myofibril per cross sectional area
Inc force production
NO INC in number of Myocytes
What is the O2 lvl saturation in newborns
20g/100ml
