28
Q

Rheumatic heart disease is

A

a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever.

29
Q

What valves have a full ring of cartilage

A

Mitral and aortic valves

As both are associated with high pressure

30
Q

The tricuspid ring is…

And the pulmonary ring is ….

A

T= incomplete ring
P= no ring
As these are associated with low pressure
However fatty ct is still present in places where rings are absent or incomplete

31
Q

what does the fibrous skeleton of the heart do

A

provides electrical insulation at the and fibrous continuity for the leaflets of the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves.

32
Q

Sinoatrial node SA is the

A

Pacemaker of the heart

33
Q

SA - Atrial muscle

And speed

A

= atrial contraction

Speed= 0.5ms slow

34
Q

Atrioventricular node

speed

A

= 100m/s delay so A can top up V

Speed = 0.05m/s very slow

35
Q

AV bundle - purkinje fibres

Sped

A
  • complicate and even contraction of ventricles - systole

Speed= fast 5m/s

36
Q

And intra ventricular

37
Q

Systemic Blood Circuit

A

84% of blood
High pressure and resistance
Drop in pressure is great across this circuit

38
Q

Pulmonary Blood Circuit

A

9% of blood
Medium pressure and resistance
Veins carry oxygenated and arteries carry deoxygenated blood 🩸

39
Q

Blood leaving the gut does not go directly back to the heart (as is the norm in the systemic circuit).
T or f

A

True

40
Q

student was asked to explain how the outlet valves work

A

Following ventricular ejection, isovolumetric ventricular relaxation occurs. The pressure inside the ventricles starts to decrease. Once the pressure in the great arteries of the heart is greater than the pressure in the ventricles, blood tends to flow back towards the ventricles. As it does so, the blood fills up the semi-lunar valves (like water filling the pockets of your jeans). The valve flaps are forced together and create a seal, preventing blood from returning to the ventricles.

41
Q

Elastic artery

A

.Many thin sheets of elastin in the tunic media
.during systole they expand and store the blood leaving the ventricle, then during diastole they push the blood out of the arterial tree by elastic recoil.
Thus they smother the pulsatilla flow of blood leaving the ventricles

42
Q

Muscles artery

A

Lots of smooth muscle in the tunica media
Distraction of blood around the body at high pressure rate of blood flow is adjusted by using the smooth muscle to vary the radius of the Vessel

43
Q

Arteriole

A

They have a thick muscular wall relative to size between 1-3 layers of smooth muscle.
Control blood flow into the capillary.
Constriction determines total peripheral pressure resistance

44
Q

Capillary

A

Thin walled vessels, single layer of endothelium with external basement membrane diameter of one red blood cell,
Gas exchange

45
Q

Venue

A

Small made of endothelium and ct larger ones have 1 layer of smooth muscle.
White blood cells leave the blood here

46
Q

Veins

A

Thin walled and not a lot of ct have valves to stop back flow,
Stores blood
Low pressure

47
Q

Cardiac Output can be calculated as:

A

CO = HR x SV

48
Q

Stroke volume can be calculated as

A

SV = EDV - ESV

49
Q

Preload

A

is a term which describes the stretch applied to cardiac muscle fibres prior to contraction.

50
Q

When we sit still, the venous return to our heart increases because the relaxed muscles no longer resist the return of blood to the heart”
F/t

A

False

51
Q

Cardiac reserve

A

is the heart’s ability to increase cardiac output to meet metabolic requirements during exercise

52
Q

Afterload

A

is a measure of the amount of pressure that must be overcome before the aortic valve can open. An increase in afterload causes stroke volume to decrease.

53
Q

Factors affecting inotropy

A

HR

Afterload

Sympathetic activation

Parasympathetic activation

54
Q

The Frank-Starling law of the heart can be summed up by saying:

A

The more ventricular muscle cells are stretched, the more forcefully they contract

55
Q

Sylvia makes a resolution to begin an exercise program after a few years of being physically inactive. She tells you that she wants to make her heart “beat as fast as it can” during exercise. Why is this potentially a bad idea for Sylvia?

A

At very high heart rates, stroke volume is decreased, this can result in a decrease in cardiac output.

56
Q

what function does the heart serve?

A

Demand Supply →
Oxygen use Oxygen demand
→

57
Q

Cardiac output (CO)

A

the volume of blood ejected into the aorta per minute (mL.min-1)

58
Q

The more blood that returns to the heart during diastole, the more blood is ejected during the next systole.

A

:)

59
Q

2 types of mechanisms by which the stroke volume is regulated.

A

instrinsic regulation= degree of stretch at end of diastole.

extrinsic regulation= activity of the autonomic nervous system and the circulating levels of various hormones.

60
Q

Increased stretch of cardiac muscle =

A

more forceful contraction.

61
Q

stroke work

A

work done = change in pressure x change in volume,
work performed by the heart each time it beats is given by the area of the pressure-volume curve for ventricular contraction.

62
Q

Contractility

A

the stroke volume increase when a postive inotropic agent is present. These agents often promote Ca2+ inlow during cardiac action potentials, which strengthens the force of the subsequent muscle ibre contraction.

63
Q

What are the valves in veins called

A

Bicuspid

64
Q

How much blood 🩸 vol is in the systemic

And how much is in veins and artery

A 
A= 13%
V= 64%
65
Q

Tissue fluid

A

extracellular fluid which bathes the cells of most tissues, arriving via blood capillaries and being removed via the lymphatic vessels.

66
Q

arteriosclerosis

A

Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body (arteries) become thick and stiff — sometimes restricting blood flow to your organs and tissue

67
Q

coronary artery is narrowed to about 20% myocardium supplied by the diseased artery runs low on oxygen

A

Causes (ischemia) causing chest pain (angina)

. Severe ischemia results in death (infarction) of a local area of myocardium.

68
Q

anastomoses

A

artery-to-artery junctions

69
Q

Blood from coronary vines drain into..

A

RA
