CVS 3 previous semester Flashcards
CO of left heart=
co of right heart
left sided CO is
systemic blood flow
right sided CO is
pulmonary blood flow
what carries blood away from the heart
arteries
____ are under high pressure
arteries
the blood volume contained in arteries is called
stress volume
arteries are thick walled with what type of tissue and muscle
elastic tissue and smooth muscle
what is the smallest branches of the artieries
arterioles
where is the highest resistance in CVS
the arterioles
what controls the arterioles resistance
autonomic nervous system
alpha 1 adrenergic receptors are found on the arterioles of which 3 areas
skin, renal and splanchnic circulation
beta 2 adrenergic receptors are found on the arterioles of the___
skeletal muscles
what has the largest total cross-sectional and surface area
capillaries
capillaries are the site of exchange for what three things
nutrients water and gases
what consist of a single layer of endothelial cells
capillaries
what are venules
formed from merged capillaries
what carries blood toward the heart
veins
veins progressively merge to form
larger veins
what is the pressure for veins
low pressure
veins are ___ walled, no ____ tissue
thin
elastic
what innervates the veins
autonomic nervous system (alpha 1)
which receptor innervates the veins
alpha 1 adrenergic receptor
the blood volume contained in veins is called___
unstressed volume
veins contain what proportion of blood in the CVS
HIGHEST PROPORTION (65%) reservoir function
hematocrit normal person
40-45%
hematocrit anemia person
10-20%
hematocrit polycythemia
increase crit increase viscosity=
60-70%
decreased flow rate
the percentage of blood that is cells (RBC, WBC, Platelets) is called
hematocrit
what three conditions increase blood viscosity
polycythemia
multiple myeloma
hereditary spherocytosis
V=
v=velocity
Q/A
Q=blood flow
A= cross sectional area
velocity is directly proportional to
inversely proportional to
proportional to blood flow
inversely proportional to cross sectional area
velocity as described greatest to least in capillaries small veins arterioles aorta
aorta
arterioles
small veins
capillaries
blood flow Q=
change P/R
change P= pressure difference between two ends of vessel
R= resistance
what is blood flow inversely proportional to
Blood flow is inversely proportional to the resistance of blood vessels
increased resistance=
decrease blood flow
decreased resistance
increased blood flow
circulation of an adult is how many liters/min
Overall flow in the circulation of an adult is 5 liters/min which is the cardiac output
co=
svXhr
mean arterial pressure=
co X TPR
map =
diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure
pulse pressure=
systolic- diastolic
