Q

Name 3 factors that affect venous return

A

The pumping action of the heart, milking by the alternating contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles in the legs, respiratory pumping caused by movement of the diaphragm during breathing.

40
Q

The pressure exerted by blood on the walls of a vessel is called?

A

Blood pressure

41
Q

Where is blood pressure the highest? It gradually decreases as?

A

Aorta / as it flows into arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins,

42
Q

Whereis the velocity of blood the greatest? It slows as?

A

Large diameter arteries / slows as the blood moves into smaller diameter vessels (arterioles and capillaries)

43
Q

Where is blood flow the slowest? Why is it slow here?

A

Capillaries / it allows time for exchange of materials between the blood and body cells

44
Q

As blood travels back to the heart, what happens to the speed of blood flow?

A

It flows faster as it moves into vessels with larger lumen diameters

45
Q

While an individual is at rest, how long does it take a drop of blood to travel through the body?

A

1 minute

46
Q

What are two things that adjust blood pressure as needed?

A

Cardiovascular center & hormones

47
Q

This is in the medulla oblongata and helps regulate heart rate, stroke volume, force of contraction of the heart, and blood vessel diameter (vasoconstriction and vasodilation). This region of the brain receives input from higher brain regions and from sensory receptors.

A

Cardiovascular center

48
Q

These also help regulate blood pressure in various way (ex: epinephrine and norepinephrine are releases by the adrenal glands in response to sympathetic stimulation).

A

Hormones

49
Q

What are the 3 main types of sensory receptors that provide input for the cardiovascular center are?

A

Proprioceptors, baroreceptors, chemoreceptors

50
Q

Proprioceptors provide information to the cardiovascular center about?

A

Monitor body movements and position

51
Q

These sensory receptors for the cardiovascular center monitor changes in pressure and stretch in the walls of blood vessels. Located primarily in the aorta (ascending and arch portions) and the internal carotid arteries.

A

Baroreceptors

52
Q

These sensory receptors for the cardiovascular center monitor the concentration of various chemicals in the blood; located near the baroreceptors in the aorta and internal carotid arteries they detect changes in levels of O2, CO2, and hydrogen ions (H+)

A

Chemoreceptors

53
Q

Output from the cardiovascular center travels along where?

A

both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons of the autonomic nervous system

54
Q

An increase in sympathetic stimulation results in?

A

an increase in heart rate and contractility

55
Q

A decrease in sympathetic stimulation results in?

A

a decrease in heart rate and contractility

56
Q

parasympathetic stimulation by way of cranial nerve X (vagus nerve) does what to the heart rate?

A

decreases it

57
Q

The cardiovascular center also sends impulses to smooth muscle in blood vessel walls by way of these nerves which cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation

A

vasomotor nerves

58
Q

Where is blood pressure usually measured? What device is used to measure blood pressure?

A

in the brachial artery in the left arm / sphygmanometer

59
Q

What is normal blood pressure?

A

less than 120mm Hg / 80mm Hg

60
Q

What does the top number in a blood pressure reading represent?

A

systolic pressure (the force of blood against the walls of the artery just after contraction of the left ventricle).

61
Q

What does the bottom number in a blood pressure reading represent?

A

the diastolic pressure (the force of blood against the walls of the artery as the left ventricle relaxes)

62
Q

This carries blood from one capillary network (in the GI organs and spleen) to another (in the liver).

A

hepatic portal vein

63
Q

After an individual eats, what does the hepatic portal vein do?

A

carries blood that is full of nutrients absorbed from the GI tract to the liver before the nutrients pass into general circulation

64
Q

What can happen to harmful substances such as alcohol when the hepatic portal vein sends it to the liver?

A

it can be detoxified

65
Q

Besies the hepatic portal vein, what else does the liver receive blood from?

A

the hepatic artery

66
Q

The hepatic artery branches from?

A

celiac trunk artery

67
Q

Blood leaves the liver through? These drain into?

A

hepatic veins / inferior vena cava

68
Q

The circulatory system of a fetus contains special features that allow it to?

A

exchange materials with its mother

69
Q

Because the lungs (and kidneys and GI organs) do not begin to function until birth, how does the fetus receive 02 and nutrients and disposes of CO2 and wastes?

A

from maternal blood

70
Q

The exchange of materials between fetal and maternal circulations occurs through?

A

the placenta

71
Q

The placenta forms in the mother’s uterus and attaches to the fetus by?

A

the umbillical cord

72
Q

How are the substances exchanged between the mother and the fetus?

A

The capillaries from the umbilical cord and from the uterus come in very close contact with one another so the exchange of sunbstance occurs between the vessels

73
Q

Is there a mixing of maternal and fetal blood?

A

no

74
Q

What carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta?

A

two umbilical arteries

75
Q

The umbilical arteries are branches of?

A

the internal iliac arteries of the fetus

76
Q

What do the umbilical arteries pick up and dispose of?

A

pick up O2 and nutrients and give up CO2 and wastes

77
Q

oxygenated blood returns from the placenta by way of a single?

A

umbilical vein

78
Q

The umbilical vein carries blood toward?

A

the liver of the fetus where it divides into two branches

79
Q

After the umbilical vein divides into two branches, where does some of the blood flow? Most of the blood flows into the other branch called?

A

through the branch that joins the hepatic portal vein and enters the liver / ductus venosus

80
Q

The ductus venosus drains into?

A

the inferior vena cava

81
Q

In the inferior vena cava, oxygenated blood from the ductus venosus mixes with?

A

deocygenated blood

82
Q

Along with this, the mixed blood in the inferior vena cava enters?

A

deoxygenated blood from the superior vena cava / the right atrium

83
Q

Most of the fetal blood does not pass from? It does pass through?

A

the right ventricle to the lungs (as it does after birth) / foramen ovale

84
Q

This is an opening in the interatrial spetum in a fetus

A

foramen ovale

85
Q

The foramen ovale carries?

A

blood from the right atrium to the left atrium

86
Q

Some fetal blood does pass into the right ventricle and from there it moves into?

A

the pulmonary trunk

87
Q

From the pulmonary trunk the blood of a fetus travels through?

A

the ductus arteriosus

88
Q

This is a vessel in a fetus that connects the pulmonary trunk with the aorta

A

ductus arteriosus

89
Q

Does fetal blood ever enter reach the nonfunctioning lungs

A

little

90
Q

In a fetus, the blood in the aorta is carried to?

A

all fetal tissues through systemic circulation

91
Q

The blood in a fetus that reaches the internal iliac arteries travel into? Then onto?

A

umbilical arteries and onto the placenta

92
Q

Shortly after birth, the foramen ovale closes to become?

A

the fossa ovalis

93
