Q

Diastole

A

Right after atria CONTRACT to fill the ventricles
Myocardium relaxed at this point
Blood pressure lowest

30
Q

Lub –> systole

A

Left & Right atria = relaxed
Left & Right ventricle = contract
Semilunar valve = open
Atrioventricular = close/snap shut

31
Q

Dub –> diastole

A

Left & Right atria = contract
Left & Right ventricle = relaxed
Semilunar valve = close
Atrioventricular = open

32
Q

Signal transduction through what? (4)

A

Intercalated discs, Desmosomes, gap junction, syncytium

33
Q

Intercalated discs:

A

contact point between cardiomyocytes (contain desmosomes, gap junction)

34
Q

Desmosomes

A

Proteins hold and adhere cardiomyocytes together

35
Q

Gap junctions

A

Protein tunnels ~ connect cytoplasm of near cardiomyocytes
Allow ions, molecules to directly pass
Propagate action potential

36
Q

Syncytium

A

connection of many heart cells together

37
Q

Syncytium

A

connection of many heart cells together

38
Q

Stroke volume

A

Volume of blood pumped from HEART WITH EACH BEAT

39
Q

Cardiac output

A

Volume of blood pumped by HEART IN ONE MINUTE

CO = HR * SV

40
Q

Total Peripheral resistance

A

Total amount of resistance that blood faces when flowing

41
Q

Vasoconstriction:

A

blood vessels increase TPR

42
Q

Vasodilation:

A

Blood vessels decrease TPR

43
Q

Mean arterial pressure:

A

Average arterial pressure during ONE CARDIAC CYCLE

MAP = CO * TPR

44
Q

What are 3 three layers of blood vessels?

A

Tunica intima, Tunica media, Tunica Externa

45
Q

Tunica intima

A

contains endothelial cells ~ reduce friction

Surround lumen of blood vessels

46
Q

Tunica media

A

contains smooth muscles ~ control diameter

Above intima

47
Q

Tunica Externa

A

contains collagen protein ~ protect vessel nerve and elastin
Above media

48
Q

Characteristics of arteries:

A

Carry blood AWAY from the heart ~ oxygenated
Elastic vessels - thick tunica media
Hold less blood
Highest blood pressure

49
Q

Characteristics of arterioles:

A 
Carries oxygenated blood 
Smaller diameter 
Resistance vessels 
Blood pressure drops the most 
Vasoconstriction ~ maintain blood temp
Vasodilation ~ cools us down
50
Q

Characteristics of capillary:

A

Branch off to arterioles and connect to venules
One endothelial - thick tunica intima
Smallest in diameter

51
Q

Characteristics of veins/venules:

A

Carry blood TOWARD the heart ~ deoxygenated
Veins are wider
Hold more blood
Lowest blood pressure
Contains valves (skeletal muscle & respiratory pump)
Both: have smooth muscles

52
Q

Effects of abdomen pressure on veins?

A

increase pressure - squeeze veins - moves blood forward

53
Q

Effects of thoracic cavity pressure on vena cava & right atria?

A

Decrease ~ negative pressure in vena cava & right atria = expand = pull blood inside

54
Q

What are 2 portal systems?

A

Hepatic portal vein

Hypophyseal portal vein

55
Q

Hepatic portal vein

A

Moves blood directly from digestive tract to liver

56
Q

Hypophyseal portal vein

A

Hormones from hypothalamus enter anterior pituitary

Prevents hormones from being diluted

57
Q

Blood clothing cascade “Positive feedback mechanism”

A

Damaged tissue - exposes collagen
Exposed collagen - causes platelet activation - platelet aggregates - forming platelet plug.
Thromboplastin (released by platelet) - converts prothrombin into thrombin.
Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin - blood clots forming hemostatic plug.

58
Q

Which vitamin is important for clothing factors (prothrombin)?

59
Q

Blood consists of:

A

Plasma, leukocytes, erythrocytes, Platelets

60
Q

Plasma

A

contains water, proteins, hormones

61
Q

Leukocytes

A

immune cells, contains nucleus

62
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Anucleate ~ maximizes capacity to carry oxygen
Have antigens (sugars & proteins)
Hemoglobin molecules

63
Q

Platelets (Thrombocytes)

A

anucleate cell fragments

64
Q

What is a precursor to platelets ?

A

Large bone marrow megakarocytes

65
Q

Type of blood universal recipient ?

66
Q

Type of blood universal donor?

67
Q

Placenta

A

provides oxygen & nutrient supply to fetus

68
Q

Umbilical cord

A

oxygen & nutrients travels to fetus

69
Q

Umbilical vein

A

Carries oxygenated blood entering fetus

70
Q

Ductus venosos

A

allows oxygenated blood entering fetus to flow into inferior vena cava & mix with deoxygenated blood.

71
Q

Foramen ovule

A

oxygenated blood travels from right atrium to left atrium
