Cardiovascular/Pulmonary System Flashcards
Individuals with a total serum cholesterol >____mg/dl increases the relative risk of developing CAD
200
What is the established risk age threshold for males and females for developing CAD?
55 years females, 45 years males, males more likely to have CAD
Individuals with HD levels <____mg/dl increases the relative risk of developing CAD
40
Is pleural effusion restrictive or obstructive?
Restrictive: total lung volume decreased, so FEV1/FVC most likely won’t be affected.
If pt’s exercise program is for weight loss what is the weekly minimum calorie expenditure?
2000 kcal/week
Which artery supplies the R atrium?
Sinus node
Which artery supplies the R ventricle
R marginal
Which artery supplies the inferior walls of both ventricles and IV septum?
Post. descending artry
What does the circumflex artery supply?
L atrium, L ventricle
Which artery supplies the anterior portion of the IV septum?
L anterior descending artery
How does the sympathetic N.S. influence the heart?
stimulate chambers to beat faster (chonotropic), and increase the force of the contraction (inotropic effect)
How does the parasympathetic influence the heart?
Slow the HR on by acting on SA node
Bainbridge reflex
increase in venous return sends vagal signals to medulla which inhibits PS activity, resulting in increased HR
What happens when arterial PPO2 of less than 50mmHg or conditions of acidosis?
Stimulates respiratory centers to increase depth and rate of ventilation. Then the para slows down HR and myocardial contractility. If persistent hypoxia, CNS will be directly stimulated and will increase sympathetic activity.
Which white blood cells participate in allergic responses?
Eosinophils (also kill parasites and destroy cancer cells) and basophils
Which white blood cells ingest damaged cells?
Monocytes
Which white blood cells ingest bacteria?
neutrophils
Which ribs articulate with only 1 vertebra?
1, 10, 11, 12
The R superior lobar bronchus divides into which 3 segmental bronchi
apical, anterior, and posterior
The R middle lobar bronchus divides into which 2 segmental?
medial and lateral
The R inferior lobar bronchus divides into which 5 segmental bronchi
superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral bases, and posterior basal
The anterobasil L segmental corresponds to which 2 R segmental?
medial basal, lateral basal
the apical posterior l L segmental corresponds to which 2 R segmental?
posterior and apical
Medications to treat dilated cardiomyopathy
ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, digoxin, diuretics.
