25
What is cardiac afterload?
Amount of resistance (pressure) encountered by the left ventricle (aortic pressure)
26
Increased afterload leads to ______ stroke volume and ______End systolic volume (ESV)
Decreased SV Increased End Systolic Volume (ESV)
27
What is ejection fraction and how do you calculate it?
Amount of ventricular blood volume pumped per heart beat Stroke volume/ end diastolic volume
28
What is the normal ejection fraction at the left ventrical?
55-70%
29
The S1 Sound _____ the carotid pulse, whereas the S2 sound _____ the carotid pulse
S1 precedes whereas S2 follows
30
most of the blood in the body (64%) is found in the....
Veins
31
What is the percentage breakdown of blood composition? Plasma? WBC? RBC?
55% plasma >1% WBC/Platelet 45% RBC
32
True or false: Thrombocytes are a bloodcell
False
33
hematopoiesis is what and where does it happen
production of RBC Bone Marrow
34
Low levels of hematocrit lead to...
Anemia, vitamin deficienies, nutrition deficienies
35
High levels of hematocrit lead to...
dehydration, polycythemia vera, lung/heart disease
36
What does the hematocrit mean
the concentration of RBC in blood
37
What is hemogloblin
Specialized protein in RBCs that binds to O2 for delivery to all bodily tissues One HgB molecules can bind up to four O2 molecules
38
Each gram of HgB can combine with _____ ml of O2
1.34 ml
39
__% of oyxgen in blood is bound to Hgb
97% whereas 2% is dissolved plasma
40
Amount of O2 that is bound to HgB is called __________
O2 saturation (SaO2): Normal is 95-97%
41
What is PaO2?
Partial pressure of oxygen in blood
42
If PaO2 is over or equal to 50mmHg, what happens to SaO2 (amount of oxygen bound to hemagloblin)
SaO2 does not need to decrease to release the oxygen into the blood to increase the pressure (NO CHANGE IN SaO2)
43
If PaO2 drops below 50mmHg what happens to SaO2?
SaO2 decreases because oxygen is released back into the blood from the hemaglobulin
44
What is Capillary hydrostatic pressure?
Pressure originates from the blood pressure in the arterial system Moves blood from capillary to interstitium
45
What is Capillary oncotic pressure?
osmotic pressure induced by the albumin in a blood vessel's plasma that causes a pull on fluid back into the capillary. Albumin causes fluid to re-enter the capillary from the interstitial fluid
46
What does Interstitial hydrostatic pressure do?
Moves fluid from interstitium into the capillaries
47
what is Interstitial oncotic pressure:
Draws fluid out of the microcirculation (capillaries) into the interstitium
48
What is the fick equation?
Determines VO2 VO2 = cardiac output x (arterial oxygen content - venous oxygen content)
49
What is the net fluid exchange from a capillary?
2mmHg outward from capillary
50
Muscles normally receive ____% of cardiac output but under intense exercise they can receive ____ % of cardiac output
10-15% 80-85% Exercising muscle will require increased blood flow while tissue beds of other organs (GI, Splenic, Kidneys) are reduced Increased blood flow directed to the skin to promote cooling
51
Mesenteric, splenic and portal tissues receive _______% of cardiac output Brain and myocardium receive ~ __% of cardiac output
20-30% 5%
52
What is the oxygen extraction ratio at rest?
23%
53
4 effects of VO2 falling below critical levels
Anaerobic metabolism will ensue Serum lactate levels will increase Multi-organ system failure may be present Sedation may be necessary to reduce tissue metabolism
54
What happens to VO2 levels in the blood if DO2 decreases (DO2= global oxygen delivery)
The tissues will utilize the same relative amount of O2 that is present in the blood Tissue metabolism will decrease to survive on a lesser absolute amount of O2 **Therefore VO2 does not decrease**
55
Diffusion of O2 and CO2 across the alveoli to the pulmonary arterial circulation dependent on four factors:
Area of capillary membrane Diffusion capacity of alveolar capillary membrane: Pulmonary capillary volume: Ventilation to perfusion ratio (V/Q) - Blood flow to avleoli must match the amount of oxygen
56
What happens if the V/Q Ratio is too low? (not enough blood flowing to alveoli)
vasodilation occurs at the arterioles to allow for increased blood flow *If ventilation volume is too small for relative blood flow: vasoconstriction occurs at the arterioles to reduce blood flow through the capillaries
57
What is the normal V/Q ratio?
0.8
58
Decreased O2 or increased ___ , ____ , _____ can lead to vasodilation
H+ ion CO2 Metabolites
59
Vasoconstriction and vasodilation controlled by extrinsic controls such as...
Endocrine system Autonomic nervous system
60
What controls the endocrine system?
Hypothalamus
61
Which nervous system decreases heart rate, which nervous system increases it? Sympathetic or parasympathetic
Sympathetic- Increases HR Parasympathetic- decreases (via the vagus nerve)
62
Systolic heart failure results in a low ejection fraction whereas diastolic heart failure results in…
No change to ejection fraction
63
What does the S1 sound represent?
Closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves
64
What does the S2 sound represent
Closure of the Aortic and pulmonary valves
65
What part of the stethoscope do you use to hear heart sounds?
Diaphram (not the drum)
66
Blood makes up what percent of bodyweight on average?
7-8%
