Q

Terms used for mechanism of Bundles?

A

Vasoconstriction
Dilation

31
Q

Sphincters (precapillary)

A

Vasotone-dilation - More blood into capillary (metabolic demand - Exercise)

32
Q

What is the point of blood going through capillary

A

Exchange of molecules - e.g. losing O2

[if cells outside need O2]

33
Q

Arteriole/Venule roles:

A

These are the smaller branches of arterie/vessel where blood come in out of capillary

34
Q

Types of complex regulation:

A

a) Metabolic demand
b) Hormonal
c) Temperature and many others

35
Q

Heart size:

A

14 cm long; 9 cm wide (fist of your hand)

36
Q

Heart weight:

A

300 - 500 grams

37
Q

Heart / Heartbeats:

A

70-100/min= 115000/day = ~3.5 billion in lifetime

38
Q

Volume of blood pumped in a day:

A

9 L / 9000 mL

39
Q

The heart structure: 1 Pericardium

A

Fibrous layer- provide elasticity and protects

40
Q

The heart structure: 2 Pericardial cavity

A

filled with fluid shock adsorber

41
Q

The heart structure: 3 Myocardium

A

cardiac muscle - contract and relax

42
Q

What is the inner layer of the heart called?

A

4 Endocardium

43
Q

Where do the veins come from?

A

Lungs

44
Q

How many pulmonary veins are there?

A

4

45
Q

Blood from pulmonary veins to»>

A

Left atrium

46
Q

Once heart in cotracted»

A

Pumped out of left ventricle and out of aorta

47
Q

What happens in the right ventricle?

A

pumping blood from your heart to your lungs, where the blood is replenished with oxygen

48
Q

Vena cava

A

Superior - drains blood from head, neck
Inferior -

49
Q

What is the role of the left ventricle?

A

The left ventricle is responsible for then pumping the oxygenated blood around your body

50
Q

Once blood is in left ventricle, oxygenated blood is pumped up to aorta through the…

A

aortic/Semi-lunar valve

51
Q

Why is the left side of the heart got a thicker muscle tan the right?

A

The left side needs to pump oxygenated blood around the WHOLE body so needs to regulate a lot of PRESSURE

the right needs to pump blood to lungs which is inferior (under - close) to the heart. Doesn’t require a lot of pressure

52
Q

1) Atrial kick

A

a) sideward kick
b) upward kick

53
Q

2) Cardiac twist

A

the twist makes sure maximum amount of blood is pumped out of the blood

54
Q

LUBbDUBb… - heartbeat

A

it takes around 1-2s for heart to refill with blood
[Delay]

55
Q

Blood circulation

A
56
Q

Blood flow in artery (pulsatile):

A

Cardiac output
Pressure (high to low)
Gravitational pull
Length & Diameter of artery
Blood viscosity

57
Q

Hepatic portal system

A

The venous system that returns blood from the digestive tract and spleen to the liver (where raw nutrients in blood are processed before the blood returns to the heart)

58
Q

Venous return - flow of the blood back to the heart’s right atrium

A

1) Calf/skeletal muscle pump
(coordinated contraction of muscle)

2) Pulsatile arteries adjacent to vein complement the muscle pump/pressure and venous return

3) Respiratory (Thoracic) pump

59
Q

Superficial veins;

A

are close to the surface of the skin - responsible for carrying blood in periods of intense strength training

Contraction of skeletal muscle and pressure

60
Q

3) Respiratory (Thoracic) pump - Intrpleural pressure

A
  • Breath in: inspiration
  • Breath out: expiration
61
Q

Breath In (inspiration)

A

Diaphragm compress abdomen cavity-Increase Pressure -push blood from abdomen cavity to thorax

Reduced pressure in the thorax sucks the blood from the abdominal cavity into the thorax

62
Q

Breath out (expiration)

A

Increased pressure in the thorax push the blood back in the heart

Reduced pressure in the abdomen suck the blood from the lower part of the body

63
Q

Pulmonary embolism is

A

a blocked blood vessel in your lungs

64
Q

Varicose vein (chronic vein valve failure)

A

Swollen and enlarged veins – usually blue or dark purple – that usually occur on the legs

Appearence; lumpy, bumpy and twisted

65
Q

Coronary circulation:

A

Two tiny arteries leaving out the aorta
Profuse blood to myocardium

Handles high pressure (irrespective of heart contraction or relaxation)

66
Q

Blockage leads to the major cardiac problem -

A

Heart attack

67
Q

Coronary thrombosis -

A

Myocardial Infarction (MI)

68
Q

Capillary Perfusion: Microcirculation

A

Arterioles carry high hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg / Low onconic

Venules carry low hydrostatic pressure = 10mmHg / High onconic

69
Q

What moves out of the lumen?

A

O2, CO2 and other gases movement
Nutrients
Electrolytes
Metabolic waste
Hormones, Cytokines

70
Q

Why is the water potential increases within the lumen?

A

The protein is left in the lumen because t is too large to be defused out.

Water then moves IN

71
Q

Pressure that is created by a protein is called…

A

onconic pressure - osmotic pressure (because water tends to move = down gradient)

72
Q

Autoregulation of perfusion:

A
  • High O2/ Low O2
73
Q

if O2 was Low;

A

High levels of:
CO2 , potassium (K+) or
hydrogen (H+) ions (acidic pH)
Lactic acid
(by-products of cell metabolism)
Histamine (Inflammation)
Body temp

Stimulate endothelial cells to release NO
> Vasodilation of precapillary

74
Q

if O2 was high;

A

Low levels of:
CO2 , potassium (K+) or hydrogen (H+) ions (acidic pH)
Lactic acid
(by-products of cell metabolism)
Histamine (Inflammation)
Body temp

Stimulate endothelial cells to release endothelin (peptides) + Platelets secretions & prostaglandins
