Cardiovascular System Flashcards
What is the blood flow formula?
What is blood flow proportional to? (2)
What is blood flow inversely proportional to? (2)
Blood always flow from high pressure to __ pressure (pressure gradient has to be present)
low
What is the formula for resistance?
What is resistance proportional to? (2)
What is resistance inversely proportional to?
What is the formula for MAP?
MAP = CO x TPR
MAP: average p through system
CO: amount of blood pumped/min
TPR: total R in the system
What is the formula for CO?
CO = SV x HR
CO: the amount of blood pumped/min
SV: amount of blood pumped/contraction
What is the MAP formula when you do not have the value for CO?
MAP = SV x HR x TPR
MAP = DBP + ___ (SBP - DBP)
1/3
What are blood valves?
Ensure blood moves in 1 direction
What are the AV valves? (2)
- Tricuspid
- Mitral (bicuspid)
What are the semi-lunar valves? (2)
- Pulmonary
- Aortic
What is the function of arteries?
What is the function of veins?
What is the function of the superior and inferior vena cava?
What is the route of blood flow? (7)
What are the heart sounds?
Caused by blood pushing against closed valves.
Heart Sounds:
1st Sound:
Blood pushes against closed AV valves
Heart Sounds:
2nd Sound:
Blood pushes against closed semi-lunar valves
What are auto-rhythmic cells?
What are contractile cells?
How are action potentials stimulated in auto-rhythmic cells? (3)
What is the pathway of electrical signalling through the heart? (3)
What does the p-wave represent?
Atrial depolarization
What is the QRS complex?
Ventricular depolarization
