Chapter 25 Flashcards
purpose of circulatory system
transport
circulatory system includes the
heart, arterial system, venous system and capillaries
low pressure pulmonary system allows blood to move through ______ more ______ which is important for gas exchange
lungs, slowly
central system is composed of
heart and pulmonary
most of the blood is found in the
venules
what is the driving force for blood flow
pressure difference between arterial and venous side
exhaling against closed glottis, this impedes
venous return
exhaling against a closed glottis shifts as much as
250 mL of blood
example of exhaling against a closed glottis
weight lifting, bracing core, bracing on the toilet
when in recumbent position (laying flat) 25-30% of blood is in
central circulation
when you stand the blood is rapidly displaced to
lower body parts
hemodynamics describes the
physical principles governing pressure, flow and resistance relating to circulatory system
fluid flow through a vessel depends on
the pressure difference between ends of the vessel, the vessels resistance to fluid flow
viscosity is largely determined by
RBC
if flow is constant velocity is _________ proportional to the cross sectional area of the vessle
inversely
laminar flow
moving in one direction
________ is minimal when laminar flow
friction
turbulent flow occurs with ____ velocity of flow, change in vessel ______ and low blood _____
high, diameter, viscosity
large mitochondria reflects
continuous energy needs
myocardium behaves as a
single unit
myocardium stores less of what electrolyte
calcium
mycardium relies more heavily on an influx of
extracellular calcium for contration
proteins which regulated actin myosin binding are used in diagnosis of MI
troponins
troponins help diagnosis
MI
you test troponin
serially
endocardium is the
innermost layer
endocardium is continuous with
blood vessel
increase of heart rate
tachycardia
decrease in heart rate
Bradycardia
route of electrical conduction to start mechanical contraction
SA node
AV junction
Bundle of His
right and left bundle
purkinje fibers
if the SA node quits working the ____ takes over
AV node
when the AV node takes over the heart rate drops to
40-60BPM
if the AV and SA node do not fire the ventricles can fire and drops the heart rate to
40 BPM
which ion channels allow cardiac muscle to fire without a stimulus
Ca2+
P wave is the depolarization of the
atria
inbetween P and Q wave is the
delay in AV node
QRS complex is the depolarization of
ventricles
end of S to T wave is the depolarization of
ventricles
absolute refractory period takes place between
QRS and peak T wave
