Q

Ways CO2 is carried in blood

A
  1. Physical solution, Carbamino compounds and bicarbonate (most of the time)
  2. Bicarbonate ion formation is governed via carbonic anhydrase: CO2 absorbed into tissues, HCO3- diffuses into cellls so chlorine moves out to balance (chloride shift)

Q

Heart contractions

A
  1. Starts at SA node in right atrium via electrical synapses (gap junctions)

Q

Vasomotion

A
  1. Governed by autonomic nervous system via hypothalamus where blood is rerouted to different tissues
  2. Mechanism for thermoregulation
    2a. Cold: arterioles construct to prevent heart loss
    2b. Hot: arterioles dilate to expel heat

Q

Systolic vs diastolic pressure

A
  1. Systolic pressure: measures peak pressure in contraction of ventricles
  2. Diastolic pressure: measures min pressure during relaxation
  3. Normal: 120/80
20
Q

Ways to regulate blood pressure

A
  1. Baroreceptors: sense changes in blood pressure
    1a. Carotid arteries
    1b. Aortic arch
21
Q

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)

A
  1. Renin: forms angiotensin 2
  2. Angiotensin 2: vasoconstriction, thirst, Na+ reabsorption, aldosterone release which raises blood pressure
22
Q

Natriuetic peptides (NPs)

A
  1. Work as a counter to RAAS: reduce blood volume and systemic resistance
23
Q

Blood components

A
  1. Plasma: has nutrients, metabolic waste, ions and plasma proteins
  2. Buffy coat (white blood cells): includes granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes that all differentiate from MHSC in hematopoietic
  3. Red blood cells (erythrocytes): no nucleus, no reproduction, function is to transport O2 and CO2, no mitochondria
24
Q

    1a. Neutrophils: in bone marrow and phagocytosize bacteria
    1b. Eosinophils: target worms
    1c. Basophils: release histamine for vasodilation: in blood

A
  1. Chemotaxis occurs:
    1a. Selection on endothelial binds to carb on neutrophils which starts roll
