Q

when blood flow through the coronary artery is blocked, what happens to the heart muscle

A

weaken the heart muscle leading to heart failure; decrease bloodflow → less oxygen → heart failure (ischemia)

Q

tunica interna / intima

A

deep
endothelium lining → simple squamous → ;lines vessels
basement membrane → loose areolar c.t

20
Q

which of these blood vessels may have valves

A

veins

21
Q

which of these vessels has a thick tunica media

A

arteries

22
Q

which of these blood vessels is most elastic

A

arteries

23
Q

which tunic plays an active role on blood pressure regulation

A

tunica media b/c it has smooth muscle (contracts and dilate)

24
Q

which tunic provides a supporting and protective coat

A

tunica externa

25
Q

which tunic consists of a single layer of cells

A

tunica interna

26
Q

what type of blood vessels consists of endothelium only

A

capillaries

27
Q

what type of tissue forms the tunica media

A

smooth muscle

28
Q

what type of tissue forms the endothelium

A

simple squamous

29
Q

what type of tissue forms the tunica exerna

A

fibrous c.t

30
Q

the coronary arteries originate from the base of the

A

aorta

31
Q

the coronary sinus delivers deoxygenated blood to the

A

right atrium

32
Q

what is CAD

A

Coronary Artery Disease

33
Q

explain what coronary ischemia is and what causes this condition

A

less blood flow to the heart causing the muscle to suffer
narro

34
Q

explain what coronary ischemia is and what causes this condition

A

less blood flow to the heart causing the muscle to suffer
narrow arteries → less blood flow → less oxygen → muscle suffers

35
Q

explain what a myocardial infarction is

A

lack of 02 to the myocardium

36
Q

explain what is a coronary bypass graft

A

portion of vein to graft heart

37
Q

what 2 pairs of major arteries can the brain receive oxygenated blood from

A

internal carotid and vertebral arteries

38
Q

the internal carotid and vertebral arteries is connected by a ring shaped anastomosis called the

A

circle of willis

39
Q

the vertebral arteries pass through the transverse foramina of what bones

A

cervical vertebrae

40
Q

the circle of willis encircles the infundibulum of what endocrine gland

A

pituitary gland

41
Q

what is CVA and its common term

A

cerebrovascular accident; common term is stroke

42
Q

what is the 3 possible signs or symptoms of a CVA

A

Face is drooped
Arms falls
Speech slurred
time to call

43
Q

the middle cerebral artery is a common site of a CVA, explain why

A

it is related to the embolism that comes from the internal carotid

44
Q

a CVA involving the left branch of this artery will affect sensation and motor function on which side of the body? explain

A

right side b/c of contralateral innervation

45
Q

hemorrhagic stroke

A

open bleed in the brain; ruptured blood vessel → aneurysm

46
Q

thrombotic stroke

A

blockage preventing the blood flow
