CV Flashcards
Pump
heart is one component
vascular system - stores E and promotes return to heart
skeletal muscles - promote return of blood to the heart
exchanger
vascular system - distributes and collects blood
lungs - exchange CO2 and O2, receive blood from R heart and share thorax w the heart
Extracellular v intracellular water
30/45 L intracellular
15/45 extracellular (12 interstitial, 3 in plasma)
which organ receives the most bloodflow from the heart?
lung
receives 100% from right heart
how do substances move within an organ?
diffusion - moving subsances across a cell membrane
convection
moving substances alog w the bloodflow
how to move substances from one organ to another
exchange vessels
“Exchange vessels” with slow velocity for diffusion
conduit vessels
“Conduit vessels” with rapid velocity for efficient transit time
ventricular systole
chamber is max contracted
blood out of outlet valve
ventricular diastole
chamber is max relaxed
blood in through inlet valve
P-R interval
time between delay
give ventricle and atrim time to fill with blood
atrial contraction and
“AV node” - delay to allow ventricule to fill
Q-T interval
contains ventricular contraction
heart pump
2 pumps in series - R and L
R - 100% to lungs (pulmonary = low pressure)
L - to body through arteries - most to kidney
flow to each can be independently regulated and shunted - filters (kidney, liver, GI, skin) get most blood
Forward Flow
promoted by valves
if dysfunctional - turbulence and E is lost (friction, heat)
Stroke Volume
Filled Volume (End Diastole) - Contracted Volume (End Systole)
vol of blood that leaves the heart
forward - how much goes through aortic valve
SV - forward or back through LA - valve disease
cardiac output
heart rate x stroke volume
volume/time
Flow
= Cardiac output!
change in pressure/resistance
I = V/R
V = pressure gradient, R = resistance
I = volume/time
V=IR
series v parallel resistance
series - add resistances (high)
parallel - add inverses of resistance - low
flow in the periphery
fixed throughout the system (as a result of changes inr esistance)
vasoconstricion or vasodilation to maintain relatively const flow
pressure in the periphery
plummets from aorta to R atrium - result of changing resistance
