Circulatory System Flashcards
Blood flow through the heart
1) body –>
2) inferior/superior vena cava –>
3) right atrium –>
4) tricuspid valve –>
5) right ventricle –>
6) pulmonary arteries –>
7) lungs –>
8) pulmonary veins –>
9) left atrium –>
10) mitral or bicuspid valve –
11) left ventricle –>
12) aortic valve –>
13) aorta –>
14) body
which side of the heart is the pulmonary circuit
R side
where is the heart located
between the 3rd and 5th ICS
where is the heart apex/ PMI (point of maximal impulse)
L side
5th ICS midmamillary line
where does oxygen exchange in the lungs happen
capillaries
layers of the heart (outer to inner)
- pericardium
- myocardium (muscle layer)
- endocardium
3 layers of the systemic blood vessels
- tunica adventitia
- tunica media
- tunica intima
-arteries have collagen to adjust to pressure of heart beating
does diastolic or systolic represent the pressure in the heart when ejecting blood
systolic
does diastolic or systolic represent the pressure in when the ventricles are filled and the heart is relaxed
diastolic
How to calculates pulse pressure
Systolic - Diastolic
Ie. 120-80=40
how to calculate mean arterial pressure
1/3 of the pulse pressure
PLUS +
diastolic
the amount of blood ejected from the heart in one beat
stroke volume
Right sided heart failure will have what sort of signs
body issues
Left sided heart failure will have what sort of signs
lung issues
-respond to change in the stretch of blood vessels
-located in carotid and aorta
-blood pressure regulation
baroreceptors
