Q

What is the Frank starling mechanism

A

SV is dependent on VR

34
Q

What is a negative of pocket valves

A

35
Q

What do smooth muscles do (venous return)

A

Vasoconstricts to create vasomotor tone which aids the movement of blood back to the heart

36
Q

What are pre-capillary sphincters

A

Rings of smooth muscle at the junction between arteries and capillaries- to control blood flow

37
Q

What is the primary aim of the respiratory system

A

To bring blood into contact with atmospheric air so that o2 can be taken in and co2 removed

38
Q

What is primary ventilation

A

Breathing air in and out of lungs

39
Q

What is external respiration

A

Exchange of o2 and co2 between the lungs and blood

40
Q

What is internal respiration

A

Exchange of o2 and co2 between blood and the muscles

41
Q

How is oxygen carried

A

Haemoglobin and plasma

42
Q

How is carbon dioxide transported

A

Dissolved in water
Carried in haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin

43
Q

What is tidal volume

A

Volume of blood inspired or expired per breath

44

A

Increases up to 3.5 litres

46
Q

What is breathing rate

53
Q

What is the equation linking breathing rate(f) tidal volume(TV)and minute ventilation (VE)

A

VR= TV x f

54
Q

Q

What is the Pulmonary circuit

A

circulation of blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs and pulmonary vein back to the heart

71
Q

What is the systemic circuit

A

circulation of blood through the aorta to the body and vena cava back to the heart

72
Q

What is oxygenated blood

A

blood saturated with oxygen and nutrients such as glucose

73
Q

Deoxygenated blood

A

blood depleted of oxygen, saturated with carbon dioxide and waste products

74
Q

What is the path of blood in the heart- Left side of heart

A

Blood is oxygenated at the lungs and brought back to the left atria through the pulmonary vein.

Oxygenated blood moves from the left atria, through the left AV valve (bicuspid) into the left ventricles to be forced out the left side of the heart into the aorta.

The aorta carries oxygenated blood to muscles and organs

75
Q

What is the path of blood in the heart- Right side of heart

A

Deoxygenated blood from the muscles and organs arrives back at the right atria through the vena caba

It moves from the right atria, through the right AV valve (tricuspid) into the right ventricle to be forced out of the right side of the heart into the pulmonary artery

Pulmonary artery carries this deoxygenated blood to lungs
