Cardiovascular Physiology II Flashcards
One way valves
-bring blood to the heart
-under low pressure
-thin smooth muscle lining
-thin walls, larger lumen
Veins
Transport blood away from the heart towards capillaries ,
-thick wall with many layers of elastic fibers
-Pressure reservoirs
-No valve
-thick smooth muscle lining
-Under high pressure
Arteries
smallest blood vessel in the body
-thin walls allow for diffusion
permeate every part of out body to deliver oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and remove waste
capillaries
skeletal muscle pump
one way valves
bicarbonate equation
CO2+H20⇌H2CO3⇌H+HCO−3
In words, carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which then dissociates into a hydrogen ion (H+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-).
Only 2% of Blank is diffused as gas in the Blank Blank, and 98% of Blank is transported in the blood attached to the Blank of the red blood cell.
O2, blood plasma
O2, hemoglobin
When oxygen is being used by the cell, the O2 level in the blood is Blank and the CO2 level
decreasing
increasing
Blank neurons increase the heart rate by releasing norephedrine
sympathetic
As the CO2 level in the blood Blank the blood becomes more blank ( the pH of the blood decreases )
increase,
acidic
Blank neurons secrete acetylcholine to decrease heart rate
parasympathetic
how oxygen levels affect blood pH
helps regulate the pH of blood by balancing the concentrations of carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions, which can absorb excess hydrogen ions (H+) to prevent large changes in pH.
Normal heart rate in adults, athletes, and newborns
adult-60-100 bpm
athletes-40bpm
newborn -120-160bpm
tachycardia
too fast, over 100 bpm
bradycardia
under 60, to slow
Target Heart Rate
allows you to monitor your exercise intensity and adjust the intensity
