Chapter 42 Flashcards
Bulk Flow
Movement of a fluid containing gases and nutrients to tissues/cells that don not have direct access to the external environment
Closed Circulatory System Definition
blood never leaves the vessels
Open Circulatory System Definition
blood can leave the vessels then come back
Open Circulatory System Parts
- low pressure
- hemolymph = 20-40% of body volume
- unable to sustain high metabolic rates
Closed Circulatory System Parts
- blood volume = 5-10% of body volume
- higher pressures possible
- higher metabolic rates a supported
- can control/regulate distribution of blood flow
- more efficient
4 Chambered Human Heart
deoxygenated blood -> RA -> RV -> pulmonary trunk -> lungs -> LA -> LV -> aorta
Diastole
heart relaxation
Systole
heart contraction
Cardiac events
- atrial and ventricular diastole
- atrial systole and ventricular diastole
- ventricular systole and atrial diastole
Atrial and Ventricular diastole
- about 0.4 seconds
- blood enters heart passively into the A and V
Atrial systole and Ventricular diastole
- about 0.1 seconds
- atria fill the ventricles
Ventricular systole and Atrial diastole
- about 0.3 seconds
- push blood out of ventricles into vessels
Cardiac contraction
the heart can contract by itself
Cardiac conduction order (depolarization)
- SA node
- AV node
- Bundle branches
- Purkinje fibers
ECG
P wave, QRS complex and T wave
P wave
- atrial depolarization
- lub
QRS complex
- ventricular depolarization
- dub
T wave
ventricular repolarization
Conduction slower
- between P and QRS (AV node)
- Q downward portion (Bundle Branches)
Human Cardiac Cycle
- averages 0.8 seconds
- about 72 bpm
Stroke volume
about 70mL per beat
Cardiac output
- stroke volume x bpm
- about 5L/min
Single circulation
heart pumps out -> thru capillary beds -> heart
Double circulation
- 2 circuits
- 1 respiratory
- 1 everywhere else
Fish heart
- 2 chambered
- 1 atrium
- 1 ventricle
- 1 circuit
Fish blood pressure
can never have high BP because it will blow their gills/pulmonary beds out
Capillary Beds
exchange sites
What promotes flow?
low resistance
Sources of resistance
- viscosity
- friction
- arrangement of capillary beds
Friction
- function of vessel diameter
- increase radius = reduced resistance
- flow rate
Arrangement of capillary beds
- parallel
- series
Parallel beds
-lesser resistance
Series beds
-greater resistance
Flow Rate
- function of friction
- can change pressure or radius
- radius has a bigger effect
Frog heart
- 3 chambered
- 2 atria
- 1 ventricle
- 2 circuits
Fish vs Frog resistance
-fish has 4 times higher resistance because it only has 1 circuit
