Q

Spleen

A
  • Largest lump of lymphatic tissue
  • Produces Lymphocytes and stores excess blood
  • if blood pressure is high is stores blood
  • if blood pressure is low adds blood to system

Q

Pulmonary Arteries and veins

A

Circut with trunk and arteries - Arteries bring blood to lungs to get oxygen, veins bring blood from lungs to left atruim with oxygen

Q

Pulmonary Circuit

A

goes to and from lungs; - Right ventricle - pulmonary trunk - pulmonary arteries - lung capillaries - pulmonary veins - left atrium. Carbon dioxide rich blood gets cleaned; oxygen rich blood back to heart

Q

Oval opening

A

opening between 2 artia - covered by flap of tissue (like valve) - right atrium to left atrium - Bypass lungs

17
Q

Arterial Duct; Umbilical Artery and Vein; Venous Duct

A

Pulmonary Artery and Aorta connection; bypass lungs

Takes waste to placenta from fetus - Takes nutrients to fetus from placenta

Connection vena cava and umbilical vein - bypasses liver

18
Q

Components of Blood

A

55% plasma 45% Red cells (Enthrocytes) White Cells (Leukocytes) Platelets (Thrombocytes)

19
Q

Components of Plasma

A

90% water; Proteins Albumen, Fibrinogen, Glubins; Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide; A.A glucose, fatty acids, glycerol; Salts; Wastes

20
Q

Red Blood Cells

A

120 days; Produced in Redbone marrow; No Nucleus, biconcave; approx 200,000,000 hemoglobin in one RBC;

21
Q

Blood clotting

A

Thromboplastin converts a blood protein (prothrombin) into Thrombin; Thrombin acts as enzyme, breaks off end of fibrinogen; Fibrinogen converted to fibrin; Fibrin forms net over leak, blood is trapped and forms clot

22
Q

White Blood Cells

A

Larger than RBC; Have nucleus; no definite shape; Fights against infection;

23
Q

Platelets

A

produce 2 million a day; broken fragments of other cells; important in blood clotting
Blood clotting needs - Prothrombin, Fibrinogen, Platelets

24
Q

Blood Types

A

8 possible O+, O-, A-, A+, B-, B+, AB-, AB+,
Antigen D - Rhesus Factor (- can donate to + but + can’t donate to -)
(If RH- mother carries a RH+ baby, not recommended to have another baby - if second baby is RH+ clumping will occur harming the baby)

25
Q

Lymphatic System

A

Lymph - Colourless, watery fluid from tissues not reabsorbed by capillaries or veins. Returned to circulatory system later
Products of fat digestion absorbed by lacteals, lead to lymph nodes and vessels
Nodes produce lymphocytes (white blood cell)
Nodes act as filter and trap bacteria and other debris

26
Q

Spleen; Thymus Gland; Tonsils and appendix; Lymphatic Tissue

A
  • Largest lump of lymph tissue; produce lymphocytes and store excess blood
  • Bi-lobed, important in maturing Lymphocytes - become smaller with age
  • Lymphoid Tissue; remove invading organisms and viruses?
  • produce lymphocytes and store excess blood
27
Q

Lymph Vessels; Lymph Nodes; Lacteals

A

Similar to veins; fluid only flows in one direction

  • Small oval/round tissue, filter fluids and produce lymphocytes
  • Blind Sacs in villi of digestive system absorb products of fat digestion
28
Q

Left and Right Atria; Left and Right Ventricles; Atrioventricular Valves

A

Right collects “Spent” blood, Left collects oxygenated blood

  • Right Send blood to lungs; left sends blood to body
  • Prevent backflow from ventricles to atrium; Right (tricuspid 3 cusps or flaps) left (bicuspid - two cusps)
29
Q

Chordae Tendineae; Semi-lunar valves; Pulmonary Trunk; Septum

A
  • keeps valves from inverting with force of blood flow
  • Prevents backflow from right and left sides
  • Receives blood from right ventricle to send to lungs
  • Separated Left and Right side of heart
30
Q

Systole; Diastole

A
  • Contraction

- Relaxation

31
Q

Cardiac Cycle

A

70 beats per min; lub-dubb sound from atrioventricular then semi-lunar valves closing; Intrinsic (beat of heart said to be) Beat controlled by Nodal Tissue

32
Q

Sa Node; AV node; Bundle of HIS; Purkinje Fibers

A
  • Upper right wall
  • Bottom Right near septum
  • Passes into ventricular septum; divides into 2 bundle branches
  • Sometimes left and right bundles of HIS
33
Q

Parasympathetic System; Sympathetic System; Pulse

A
  • Slows heartbeat
  • Increases Heartbeat during stress
  • As blood pumped through arteries, wall swell and recoil
34
Q

Hypertension; Hypotension

A

-High blood pressure (125/90)

Low blood pressure (90/60)
