CVD Flashcards
where does blood enter/exit heart
deoxy blood enters from SVC and goes to right atrium
oxy blood leaves from left ventricle thru aorta
role of heart
-blood flow regulation
-maintain body temp
-disttribute o2 nutrients hormones in body
-
systole vs diastole
systole = contraction/ heart pumping out blood
diastole - rest/relaxation and recieving blood
3 components of vascular system
- coronary (blood vessels, arteries )
- cerebral (15% circulation)
- splanchnic - liver, portal vein
explain liver and portal vein importance
blood from GIT spleen and pancreas enter liver either via PV or hepatic artery
pv filters cleans blood
both leave via hepatic vein
how much blood flow to liver does PV carry
75%
4 structures of blood vessels
- intima - inner layer, touch blood
- media - 3 layers, thickest
- adventitia - outer layer, strong, coats vessel
- vasa vasorum- small arteries within blood vessels
what is the adventitia layer made of
collagen
fibre
connnective tissue
classifications of BV
artery
arteriole
capillaries
venule
vein
average total blood volume
5.5-7.5L
what is CO dependent on
SV and HR
SNS and PNS effect on HR
SNS = increase HR
PNS= decrease HR
MAP is affected by
CO and TPR
major problems in CVD
- constriction
- blockage
- leaks
- contractile rhythm disruption
arteriosclerosis is clasfised under what cvd problem
blockage
