Q

what is the diastole phase

29
Q

systolic is how long of the cardiac cycle

A

1/3 - contraction

30
Q

the first heart sound (lub) is when what valves are closing

A

AV valves are contracting (close)
- occurs after QRS complex

31
Q

the second heart sound (dub), what valves are closing

A

semi lunar - ventricles are relax (close)
- occurs following t-wave

32
Q

what is the normal resting HR for adults

33
Q

what is stoke volume

A

how much blood the left ventricle pumps out in one hear beat

34
Q

what is a healthy adult stroke volume at rest

35
Q

what is the calculation for cardiac output

A

= stroke volume X heart rate

36
Q

what is the average cardiac out put for an adult at rest

37
Q

when adreline acts on beta receptors this causes

A

vasodilation
db

38
Q

when adreline acts on alpha receptors this causes

A

vasoconstriction of blood vessels

39
Q

with vasodilation out of CO2 and O2 which local levels are increase

A

CO2
carbon Dioxide = vasoDilation

40
Q

with vasodilation there will be an increase of ___ relased by the endothelium

A

nitric oxide

41
Q

with vasoconstriction there will be an increase of ___ relased by the endothelium

A

endothelium (ET-1)

42
Q

hypermia means

A

increase blood in vessels

43
Q

what are the 3 main types of capillaries

A
  1. continuous
  2. fenetrated
  3. sinsoidal
44
Q

what is the most leaky type of capillary

A

sinusosdial

45
Q

when blood pressure in carpilaries (CHP) is larger than osmotic pressur (BCOP) will filtration occur

A

yes - postive net filtration

46
Q

when blood pressure in carpilaries (CHP) is small than osmotic pressur (BCOP) will filtration occur

A

no
- reabsorbstion occurs = negative net filtration pressure

47
Q

when blood pressure in carpilaries (CHP) is equal than osmotic pressur (BCOP) will filtration occur

A

Not net movement

48
Q

valves in veins help prevent what

49
Q

erythrocyte means

50
Q

what is the most common type of white blood cells

A

Neutrophils

51
Q

what are key components of heostasis

52
Q

what does haemostatsis mean

A

stop bleeding

53
Q

there are 3 phases in haemostasis what is the 3rd phase

A

coagulation phase - e.g. fibrous blood clot is formes

54
Q

sympathetic pathways orginates in what centre

A

cardioaccelartory
sympathetic - acceleration

55
Q

parasympathetic pathways orginates in what centre

A

cardiac-inhibitory

56
Q

parasympathetic nerves release ACh which causes _____ in the heart to open

A

potassium channels

57
Q

sympathetic nerves release NE (norepinephrine) which binds to what

A

Beta adrenical receptors

58
Q

standing still will mean blood will go to the vein = less blood returning to heart so what venous return is this

A

lower venous return

59
Q

increasing blood pressure the effector would increase Parasysmpathic - will vasodilate to restore MABP
T/F

60
Q

decreasing blood pressure would mean … to regulate MABP

A

sympathic system would increase
vasoconstriction

61
Q

what valves prevent backflow from the major arteries into the ventricles

A

semilunar valves

62
Q

what valves prevent backflow from ventricles into the atria

A

atrioventricular valves

63
Q

what AV is on the left

64
Q

what AV is on the right

65
Q

what semilunar valve is on the right

A

pulmonary valve

66
Q

what semilunar valves is on the left

A

aortic valve

67
Q

what is vasodilation

A

increased radius, reduced resistance, increased blood flow - e.g. when pupils dilate they get bigger

68
Q

what is vasoconstriction

A

getting smaller
- reduced radius
- increased resistance
- reduced blood flow
