Cardiovascular Flashcards
blood–>cells for ____, cells–>blood for ___
nutrients; waste
primary roles of circ sys:
distribute dissolved gases/cules for nutrition, growth/repair, remove cell waste
secondary roles:
fast chem signalling (horones, neurotrans), dissipate heat, mediate defence response
3 basic functional parts of circ sys?
heart, blood, vessels
smallest vessels where transport takes place
capillaries
layer of muscle separating left and right atrium/vesicle
septum
why is pressure lost when blood flow thru vessels?
friction
flowing component=___energy, hydrostatic component=__energy
kinetic; potential
flow of blood in tube is directly proportional to _____
pressure gradient (NOT absolute pressure)
flow is inversely proportional to___
resistance
what parameters determine resistance?
radius, length, viscosity (Poiseuille’s eqution)
flow rate/cross sectional area=
velocity (more rapid in narrow section)
db wall sac fill with thin layer clear fluid
pericardium (parietal and visceral)
RA–>RV is ___ valve
tricuspid
LA-LV is __ valve
mitral
ventricle–>outflow artery is ___ valve
semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) –>no connective tendons
AV valves need ____
chordae tendonae
___ cells gen. AP spontaneously
autorhythmic
depolarize begin in ____ node
SA
AP originating from SA node initiate ____
excitation contraction coupling
___ channels responsible for speed of AP gen
HCN
____ conducts AP from SA pacemaker into left atrium to cause contraction
Backman’s bundle
conduction pathway>
SA node–>AV node–>bundle of His–>bundle branches–>purkinje fibres
which ventricle depolarize first?
left
these recordings show summed electric activity gen by all cells of heart
ECG
P wave correspond to:
atrial depolarize
PG/PR correspond to:
conduction through AV node and bundle, atrial contraction
Q wave correspond to depolarization of:
septum
R wave correspond to:
depolarization of ventricular wall
S wave correspond to:
complete depolarization of ventricle
S-T correspond to:
ventricle contract
T wave correspond to:
ventricular repolarization
^ HR called ___, v called ___
tachycardia; bradychardia
prmature ventricular contractions caused by :
purkinje fibres randomly kick in as pacemaker cuz of lack of O2
condition of inherited channelopathy causing delayed repolarization of ventricles
Long QT syndrome
5 phases of cardiac cycle:`
1) diastole 2) atrial systole 3) isovolumetric ventricular contraction 4) ventricular ejection 5) isovolumetric ventricular relaxation
contraction of atria contribute ___% blood in ventricles
20
pressure in ventricle > ___mmHg cause rapid ejection
80
max vol in ventricle is ____, min. amount is ___
EDV; ESV
amount of blood ejected
stroke vol
