Q

What is hydrostatic pressure? What happens if hydrostatic pressure is higher in capillaries than it is in ISF?

A

The pressure exerted by a fluid on its container

Substance filtered out of the blood vessel into ISF

16
Q

What are the main phases of the cardiac cycle?

A

Diastole - filling of ventricles
Diastasis - initial filling has slowed down, before isovolumetric contraction
Systole - contraction and blood ejection from the heart

17
Q

The visceral and parietal pleura form a potential space. What is it filled with? What does this do?

A

Serous fluid

Maintains negative pressure and eliminates friction

18
Q

What is the equation for cardiac output? How does an increased heart rate affect CO?

A

Stroke volume X HR

Increases CO, however if too fast not enough time for diastole, reduced oxygen reaching tissues

19
Q

What is contractility? What is a huge factor in this?

A

Ability of heart to contract

Calcium ions

20
Q

End systolic ventricular volume (ESVV) is affected by what 2 factors?

A

Contractility

Afterload

21
Q

End diastolic ventricular volume is affected by what 3 factors?

A

Preload
Diastolic filling time
Compliance

22
Q

What is preload? What is it equal to?

A

Filling pressure of the ventricles

Arterial pressure

23
Q

How is preload increased? (2 ways)

A

Reduce blood flow to non-essential tissues

Increasing blood volume

24
Q

What is afterload?

A

Pressure heart is working against or vascular resistance

25
Q

How is afterload increased (2 ways)?

A

When aortic pressure increased (e.g. aortic stenosis)

When vascular system resistance increased e.g. vasodilation

26
Q

How does an increased afterload affect stroke volume and ESVV?

A

Decreases SV

Increases ESVV

27
Q

What veins provide oxygenated blood to the foetus? Where does this blood drain into?

A

Umbilical veins in allantois

Drains into caudal VC then right atrium

28
Q

What is the foramen ovale? What does it do?

What happens to it in a neonate?

A

Hole within interatrial septum
Allows oxygenated blood to pass from right to left atrium
Closes to form fossa ovalis

29
Q

What is the ductus venosus?

A

Duct to bypass liver

30
Q

What is the ductus arteriosus? What does it connect?

A

Duct to bypass lungs (allows small amount of blood flow for development)
Connects pulmonary artery to aorta

31
Q

How does the foetus get nutrition?

A

Yolk sac, via vitelline veins

32
Q

What cardiovascular changes happen at birth?

A

Umbilical arteries contract - stop blood flow to neonate and prevent haemorrhage when ruptures
First breath causes drop in resistance to pulmonary circulation and opens capillaries
Decreased right ventricular afterload, increased aortic pressure and left preload - cause septum primum to push against septum secondum and close foramen ovale
Smooth muscle of the ductus arteriosus constricts

33
Q

What closes the ductus arteriosus and what does this become?
What would happen if the ductus arteriosus remained patent after birth?

A

Connective tissue closes it to become ligamentum arteriosum

Blood flow other way - too much preload
