Cardiovascular Respiratory System Flashcards
What is being taking in when you inhale?
Oxygen
At What bpm does tachycardia occur
> 100bpm
What is called when the heart skips a beat or head extra beats due to abnormal electrical conduction?
An Arrhythmia
Why does blood redistribute during exercise?
Blood flow is greater when you exercise because the blood vessels in your muscles dilate
Artery’s are structures that do what?
Artery’s are Structures that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart; except the pulmonary artery.
What is SBP vs DBP
SBP: Systolic Blood Pressure. Ventricular Contraction
DBP: Diastolic blood pressure. Ventricular relaxation to allow for filling.
At what bpm does Bradycardia occur?
<60bpm
Why do veins have valves?
Veins have valves to prevent blood from traveling in the opposite direction.
What is the pacemaker of the heart? And at what bpm does it average?
SA Node.
The SA node has an intrinsic rate of about 60 - 100 bpm
What serves as a blood reservoirs.
Veins:
Veins serve as blood reservoirs holding on to approximately 60% of blood distribution
In what order does electrical conduction of the heart happen?
SA Node Right Atrium Av Node Bundle Branches Purkinjee Fibers Then the heart contracts like a wave
When is Blood Pressure at stage 2 hypertension?
Systolic: >140
Diastolic: >90
What is plasma made out of?
90% h20
7% Plasma Proteins
3% Other
When is blood pressure pre-hypertensive?
Systolic: 120-129
Diastolic: <80
What do veins do?
All veins carry deoxygenated blood except for the pulmonary vein.
What is being released when you exhale?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the difference between a vein and an artery?
Artery’s are structures that carry blood away from the heart.
Veins are structures that carry blood to the heart.
When is the parasympathetic nervous system active?
The parasympathetic nervous system is being used during rest
What happens to the left ventricle as a result of training?
The left ventricle gets larger to allow for more blood flow
What is the average range for resting heart rate in an adult?
60-85 bpm
What are the formed elements in blood make out of?
> 99% red blood cells
<1% White Blood Cells and Platelets
What is BP?
Blood Pressure
When is Blood pressure at stage 1 hypertension?
Systolic: 130-139
Diastolic: 80-89
What is blood pressure?
The pressure exerted on the arteries; representative of the left ventricle
