1
Q

What is the trajectory of AP in the heart?

A

Normally it starts in the SA node, then it is transmitted to the AV node where there is a delay(so ventricle can be filled) and then it spreads in the ventricles via purkinje fibers

Q

How does the sympathetic NS affect the heart?

A

It secretes norepinephrine that has positive ionotropic effect, it causes phosphorylation of Ca channels in the sarcolemma (increasing the Ca in IC, increasing force) and phospholamban (stimulates SERCA, causing quicker relaxation, increasing rate). also glycosides inhibit Na-K pump, increasing IC Ca

Q

What is preload and after load?

A

preload refers to the amount of blood in left ventricle in the end of diastole, and afterload is the amount of pressure that the heart needs to exert to eject the blood during ventricular contraction.

Q

What are the waves in an ECG?

A

P is the depolarization of the atria, then there is depolarization of the ventricles (QRS) (while atria repolarization is not shown) then there is repolarization of the ventricles (T)

19
Q

Duration of P waves indicates:

A

conduction of the depolarization through the atria

20
Q

Longer PR interval indicates:

A

Longer conduction time through AV node indicates slow transmission of impulses and first degree heart block

21
Q

Longer QT interval indicates:

A

means longer time for repolarization that can lead to arrhythmias, is the time from ventricular depolarization to repolarization

22
Q

A R-R interval of 0.8 give how many bpm?

A

1/0.8*60= 75bpm

23
Q

What are the types of heart block?

A

First degree from longer PR interval, 2nd from AV node failure (P waves are slower than QRS), 3rd when AV node fails completely and latent pacemakers takeover (no correlation between P waves and QRS)

24
Q

How are molecules absorbed in capilaries?

A

gases are soluble in lipid bilayer and cross by simple diffusion, water soluble substances go through water channels, glucose and aa are carried by facilitated diffusion, proteins and plasma proteins are too large and are retained in vascular compartments which causes resistance (called colloidal pressure)

25
Q

What is acute control?

A

is short term control, caused by increase in CO2 and H or hihg temperature, when the availability of O2 is low there is vasodilation of arterioles and precapillary sphincters

26
Q

How can endothelial cells regulate blood flow?

A

forming Nitric oxide that is a vasodilator to balance the vasoconstriction caused by angiotensin II, that stimulates NO. or producing endothelin that is a vasoconstrictor stimulated by injury

27
Q

How do diuretic affect blood pressure?

A

they increase the excretion of urine and decrease absorption of Na and water, decreasing blood volume and pressure

28
Q

What is humoral control?

A

secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) AKA vasopressin, that is a vasoconstrictor secreted during hemorrage it increases water reabsorption to increase blood volume.
Or secretion of angiotensin I or II that is a powerful vasoconstrictor.
Or secretion of bradykinin and histamine that are vasodilators

29
Q

How is angiotensin II formed?

A

Liver produces angiotensinogen that is converted to Angiotensin I by renin in the kidneys, then in the lungs there is the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) that converts it to angiotensin II

30
Q

How does the sympathetic NS affects pressure?

A

Norepinephrine stimulates cardiac output and vasoconstriction (decreasing blood flow, increasing TPR)

31
Q

What are baroreceptors?

A

Are mechanoreceptors that sense pressure in arteries, can cause inhibition or stimulation of sympathetic or parasymphatetic NS

32
Q

Where are the hormones secreted from?

A

aldosterone is from adrenal cortex (increases Na and water absorption), angiotensins II production is stimulated by renin it is a vasoconstrictor. ADH is secreted by pituitary gland that responds to increase in osmolality or low pressure, also increases water reabsorption

33
Q

What is the integrative system?

A

responses of the CVS to exercise, hemorrhage and posture

34
Q

What are fast acting NS responses?

A

baroreceptor reflexes to increase pressure and response from sympathetic NS to increase pressure (constriction of arterioles and veins, heart rate)

35
Q

What are NS responses that take minutes?

A

o Renin-angiostensin II constrictor mechanism
o Relaxation of vasculature
o Shifting of fluid in and out of capillaries

36
Q

What is long term regulation?

A

Regulation of renal body fluid mechanism, low pressure causes secretion of aldosterone (vasoconstrictor) from adrenal cortex, it increases Na and water absorption to increase volume while angiotensin II constrict arterioles. Then the increase in pressure causes kidney to increase excretion of salt and water

37
Q

What are CVS function during exercise?

A

increase sympathetic outflow, redirect blood where it is needed by constriction of some arterioles and splanchnic organs, vasoconstriction to increase TPR and venous return and decrease unstressed volume. Metabolites in skeletal muscle act as vasodilators

38
Q

How is hemorrhage felt?

A

chemoreceptors in carotid and aortic bodies sense low PO2 and increase sympathetic outflow.
ADH is secreted (increase blood volume and vasoconstriction V1)

39
Q

Person moving from lying to standing position causes

A

venous pooling from increased capillary pressure in veins of legs which increase filtration of fluid into interstitial fluid, resulting in loss of blood volume and decreased Pa

40
Q

Standing for extended period causes

A

filtration of fluid out of the capillaries to exceed the capacity of the lymphatics to return fluid to circulation causing edema in lower extremities. Increased filtration decreases venous return and Pa, which may cause low blood pressure in brain and fainting

41
Q

Renin angiotensin system regulate pressure when there is Increase in salt intake (increase pressure) by:

A
  • reduce rate of secretion of Renin
  • decrease angiotensin II formation
  • decrease secretion of aldosterone
  • decrease renal retention of salt and water and increase secretion in the urine
  • until ECF and Pa are normal
42
Q

Renin angiotensin system respond to low pressure by:

A
  • Kidney releases renin, that acts on angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I, taht is converted to II in the lungs that causes vasoconstriction and increase absorption of salt and water by stimulating secretion of aldosterone
43
Q

How does angiotensin II act on kidneys?

A

Angiotensin II acts directly on the kidneys by constricting the arterioles of the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of salt and water and decrease urine and acts indirectly on the kidneys by acting on adrenal cortex to secrete aldosterone that increase sodium reabsorption and increase ECF

44
Q

Blood type O has both _________ and no _______

A

anti A and B agglutinins (antibodies), no agglutinogens (antigens) while AB is the opposite

45
Q

norepinephrine responding receptor Alfa 1 adrenergic are in _____. Beta 1 receptors in _____.

A

veins, heart

46
Q

decreasing venous compliance(decreasing unstressed volume) means

A

constriction of veins
