Cardiovascular System Flashcards
Is cardiac muscle striated or not/ voluntary/non voluntary
striated not voluntary
what is the cardiac muscle connected by
intercalated discs
Epicardium
superficial layer
Myocardium
contration unit has cardiac muscle
Endocardium
form lining of the heart chambers
Two layers of pericardium
parietal, visceral layer
what are the two parts of pericardium separated by
pericardial cavity
functions of pericardium
protects, anchors the heart, prevents overfilling of the heart with blood, friction-free environment
4 chambers of heart
2 atria, 2 ventricles
where are the valves located
b/w ventricles and blood vessels
two types of valves
atrioventricular valves semilunar valves
where does the atrioventricular valve lie
between atrioventricular and ventricles
Right AV valve
tricuspid valve
left AV valve
bicuspid mitral valve
What anchors Av valves to papillary muscles of ventricle wall
Chordae tendinae
Aortic Valve is where
between left ventricle and aorta
pulmonary valve
right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
do semilunar valves have chordate teninae
no
heart murmurs
extra or unusual sound during heart beat
innocent heart murmurs
not caused by heart problem. kids, thin people, elderly
abormal murmur
in newborns; congenital heart defects, insufficient/incompetent: valve fails to close, stenotic: valve fails to open
coronary circulation
blood supply to the heart muscle itself
what ensures blood delivery even if major vessels are occulated
collateral routes
which artery has cost common coronary artery occlusion or heart attack
LCA
pacemaker cells
cardiac muscle cells that are self excitable
what makes the heart contract as a unit
gap junctions
how much of cardiac muscle is mitochondria
30-40%
what determines the heart rate
sinoatrial node (SA)
What does EKG stand for?
Cardiac Electrophysiology
what does an ekg measure
the positive and negative defections
what does the p stand for
atrial contractions
what does qrs stand for
ventricular contraction
what does t stand for
ventricular repolarization
what is normal heart rate
60-100 bpm
atrial fibrillation
p waves are not clearly visible, p doesn’t follow qrs, p waves could be + or -
ventricular l fibrillation
rate and rhythm cant de determined
two periods that determines blood pressure
systole, diastole
systole
period of contraction of ventricles between 1st and 2nd heart sounds
what causes the ejection of blood into the aorta and pulmonary trunk
systole
in an EKG what marks systole
QRS
diastole
period of relaxation of the heart muscle and filling chambers with blood
what period receives blood supply
diastole
what separates the two atria
interatria septum
what separates the two ventricles
inter ventricular septum
AV valves prevent blackflow when ventricles
contract
atrioventircular bundle Is connected directly to
AV node
what splits interventruclar septum towards the apex
L and R Bundle
preload
end of diastolic volume
after load
mean material pressure
complete ventricular ejection
SL valves open and ventricles fully contract at high pressure to arteries
isovolumetric relaxation
second heart sound S2 and ventricles relax
total amount of blood in the left ventricle is pushed out with each heartbeat
stoke volume
arteries
take blood away from heart
veins
return the blood
blood vessels that go from arteries to veins
arteries, arterioles, capillaires, venues, veins
what blood vessels are smooth muscle
arteries
what blood vessels are strong and elastic
arteries
what blood vessels have sphincters
arteries
what blood vessels conduct blood to capillaries
arteries
what blood vessels are the end of arteries
arterioles
blood flow into capillary beds is determined by
arteriolar diameter
what blood vessels are thin enough to allow diffusion
capillaries
what blood vessels holds up to 65% of total blood volume
veins
walls of blood vessels
tunica intima, tunica media, tunica externa
innermost layer in contact with blood
tunica intima
thickest layer, consists of smooth muscle elastin, collagen
tunica media
what is the tunic media regulated by
sympathetic vasomotor nerve fibers of the autonomic nervous system
what layer is has its thickness prevent diffusion the blood vessel
tunica externa
what is directly proportional to the difference in blood pressure between two points in the circulation
blood flow or f
what is the difference between arterial and venous pressure
blood flow or f
blood flow to inversely proportional to
peripheral resistance R in the systemic circulation
there types pf arteries
elastic, muscular, small arteries
conducting arteries
elastic
distributing arteries
muscular
resistance arteries
small arteries
what type of arteries have the natural ability to contract and relax
elastic
hardening of the arteries
arteriosclerosis
what type of arteries followed the end of elastic arteries
muscular
what type of arteries accounts up to 90% of the blood arteries
muscular
another name for arterioles
small arteries
what is following the end of the muscular arteries
arterioles
what determines minute to minute blood flow into the capillary beds is determines by arteriolar
arteriolar diameter
arteriolar diameter is controlled by
nervous system hormone local chemical concentration such as O2 or CO2
three types of capillaries
continuous, menstruated, sinusoid
what type of capillary is least permeable and most common
continuous
continuous is held together by
tight junctions
where is continuous found
skin muscles lung CNS
what type of capillary has large fenestrations or pores that increase permeability
fenstrated
where is menstruated found
active filtration areas kidney or small intestine
