Q

what is a systemic circuit?

A

Q

describe the pathway of a 4 chamber heart

A
  1. dioxygenated blood comes through right atrium
  2. goes to right ventricle pumps into pulmonary vein
  3. goes to pick up oxygen in lungs
  4. goes back to pulmonary veins
  5. enters left atrium (collecting chamber)
  6. left ventricle (pumping chamber)
  7. leaves through aorta
  8. back down into body

35
Q

why does the left ventricle pump with greater force than the right even though its the same amount of blood?

A

it pumps to blood to the entire body

36
Q

what is a cardiac cycle?

A

one complete sequence of pumping and filling

37
Q

what is the contraction phase called?

A

systole

38
Q

what is the relaxation phase called?

A

diastole

39
Q

what is the cardiac output?

A

volume of blood each ventricle pumps per minute

heart rate x stroke volume

40
Q

what do valves do?

A

prevents backflow and keep blood moving in the right direction

41
Q

what is the atroventricular valve?

A

separate each atrium and ventricle

42
Q

what are semilunar valves?

A

located at the 2 exits of heart, where aorta leaves the left ventricle and where the pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle

43
Q

what creates the lub-dup sound?

A

recoil of blood against the closed AV valve and against the semilunar

44
Q

what is a heart murmur?

A

backflow of blood through a defective valve

45
Q

what type of specialization has specialized fluid?

A

closed circulation

46
Q

what is plasma?

A

the liquid matrix of blood in which the blood cells are suspended in

47
Q

what are blood electrolytes?

A

inorganic salts in the form of dissolved ions, buffer blood pH and maintain osmotic balance

48
Q

how does plasma compare to interstitial fluid?

A

plasma has a higher protein concentration

49
Q

what are some other functions of plasma?

A

immunity, escort lipids, blood clotting

50
Q

what are the 2 types of blood cells?

A

red blood cells-transport oxygen

white blood cells- immunity

51
Q

what are platelets?

A

cell fragments that are involved in the clotting process

52
Q

what are the 5 major types of white blood cells?

A

monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes

53
Q

what are monocytes?

A

largest type, vacuum cleaner of white blood cells, longer-lived

54
Q

what are neutrophils?

A

most abundant, fungal infections, form pus

55
Q

what are basophils?

A

allergic reactions, antigens, histamines, rarest

56

A

common in lymphatic system

58
Q

what are red blood cells also called?

A

erthrocytes

59
Q

what is the advantage to red blood cells biconcave shape?

A

increase SA, increase rate of diffusion of oxygen

60
Q

what is hemoglobin?

A

iron containing protein that transports oxygen

61
Q

each molecule of hemoglobin binds how many molecules of oxygen?

A

4

62
Q

why do red blood cells lack nuclei and mitochondria?

A

to make more space for hemoglobin

63
Q

what is sickle cell disease?

A

an abnormal form of hemoglobin, distorts shape of red blood cell, caused by an alteration in amino acid sequence

64
Q

what are the consequences of sickle cell disease?

A

clogs arteries, frequently rupture

65
Q

where do erthrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets develop from?

A

multipotent stem cells

66
Q

what is the role of the hormone erythropoeietin? (EPO)

A

kidneys secrete this when the tissues arent receiving enough oxygen and they want to make more red blood cells

67
Q

what is coagulation?

A

conversion of liquid components of blood into a solid clot

68
Q

what is fibrinogen?

A

the coagulant in its inactive form

69
Q

how does fibrin form?

A

platelets release clotting factors that trigger the formation of throbin, throbin converts fibrinogen into fibrin

70
Q

what is a thrombus?

A

blood clot in the blood vessels

71
Q

why does the southeast US have so many heart disease cases?

A

fatty/fried foods, hot weather hinders physical activity

72
Q

what is plaque?

A

acculturation of fatty deposits

73
Q

what is atherosclerosis?

A

the hardening of arteries caused by plaque

74
Q

how does plaque form in the arteries?

A

bad cholesterol builds up in the arteries

75
Q

what does good cholesterol do?

A

carries cholesterol into liver

76
Q

what is a heart attack?

A

cardiac muscle tissue damage/death from blockage of coronary arteries

77
Q

how is a heart attack treated?

A
  1. insertion of mesh tube to expand artery

2. transplanting a blood vessel to bypass the blockage

78
Q

what is a stroke?

A

death of nervous tissue in the brain due to lack of oxygen

79
Q

what is a ischemic stroke?

A

most common, blocked arteries to the brain

80
Q

what is a hemorrhaic stroke?

A

arteries to the brain leak or burst and then hemorrhaging occurs

81
Q

what is transient ischemic attack?

A

a brief malfunction from blockage in eyes or brain

82
Q

how do you keep a low LDL:HDL?

A

diet and excercise

83
Q

what is a c-reactive protein?

A

produced in the liver, shows inflammation of body, sign of heart disease

84
Q

what is the role of aspirin in heart attacks?

A

inhibits the inflammatory response

85
Q

what is hypertension?

A

high blood pressure, leads to heart disease

86
Q

why is sleep important?

A

sleep helps repair and heal the heart and blood vessels, and allows the cardiovascular system to rest, allowing other organs to be restored
