Q

Flow of blood through heart
Step 1
Right atrium

A

Deoxygenated blood is returned
here from the upper superior vena cava and
the lower inferior vena cava. Blood passes
through the right atrioventricular valve (AV
valve, or tricuspid valve) to the right
ventricle. AV valve is attached to papillary
muscles, which contract to close the AV valves
and prevent backflow of blood.

Q

Flow of blood through heart
Step 2
Right ventricle

A

Pumps deoxygenated blood
through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the
pulmonary artery. Blood enters pulmonary
circulation. When the ventricle contracts, the
AV valve is closed and the pulmonary
semilunar valve is open. When the ventricle
relaxes, the AV valve is open to refill the
ventricle, and the pulmonary semilunar valve
closes to prevent the backflow of blood.

Q

What is Signal transduction

A

The heart has intercalated discs that connect
adjacent heart cells (cardiomyocytes). Intercalated
discs are made of desmosomes and gap junctions
and function to transmit the signal to contract in a
coordinated, rhythmic fashion.

Q

What is Cardiac output (CO)

A

stroke volume
multiplied by the heart rate. This tells us the
volume of blood being pumped by the heart in 1
minute.

31
Q

What is Total peripheral resistance (TPR) is

A

the total
amount of resistance that blood faces when
flowing through the vasculature of the body.
Vasoconstriction increases TPR, while vasodilation
decreases TPR.

32
Q

What is Systolic blood pressure

A

the highest pressure in
your arteries when your ventricles contract. This is
the top number in a blood pressure reading.

120/80 → 120 mmHg is the systolic pressure.

33
Q

Diastolic blood pressure

A

is the pressure in your
arteries while the heart is relaxing between beats.
This is the bottom number in a blood pressure
reading.
120/80 → 80 mmHg is the diastolic

pressure.

34
Q

Mean arterial pressure (MAP)

A

the average
arterial pressure during one complete cardiac
cycle. It is calculated by multiplying your cardiac
output by your total peripheral resistance.

MAP = CO x TPR
MAP = (HR x SV) x TP
35
Q

Vessels transport ____ to and from the heart in a
closed circulatory system. Arteries move blood
____ from the heart, while veins move blood
____ the heart.

A

Blood
away
towards

36
Q

Does arteries or veins have higher blood pressure and why

A

Arteries

due to the hydrostatic pressure from the heart.

37
Q

Arteries branch off into smaller arteries called what

A

arterioles (This is where we see the greatest drop

of blood pressure.)

38
Q

Arterioles branch further into what?

A

capillaries

39
Q

Capillaries are

A

vessels that are 1 cell thick and diffuse gas and nutrients to the interstitial fluid.

40
Q

(Note: even though arterioles see the
greatest drop in BP, they are not where BP is
lowest. BP is lowest in the veins) T/F

A

T

41
Q

Functions of capilaries

A

collect waste and CO2 and enter a
venule, which then connects to a vein, which
brings the blood back to the heart. Blood moves
back to the heart by a series of valves within the
veins that prevents backflow of blood. Skeletal
muscles squeeze the veins to push the blood
forward, it is not the pumping of the heart that
moves blood through the veins.

42
Q

Veins contain more blood by volume than arteries

and have the lowest blood pressure of all vessels.

A

T/F

43
Q

What is plasma made out of

A

contains water, proteins, nutrients,
hormones, and makes up most of the blood
volume. Makes up ~55% of blood volume.

44
Q

White blood cells (leukocytes)

A

are our
immune cells and defend against infection.
The most common white blood cell is the
neutrophil.

45
Q

Platelets (thrombocytes)

function

A

cell fragments
that do not have a nucleus, they are
responsible for clotting. Platelets release factors that help
convert fibrinogen into fibrin, which creates a
‘net’ to stop bleeding. Many of the clotting
factors are synthesized with Vitamin K, a
deficiency in Vitamin K will lead to increased
bleeding.

46
Q

precursor of platelets in large bone marrow cells

A

megakaryocytes

47
Q

how much of leukocytes and thrombocytes make up of blood volume?

A

less than 1 percent

48
Q

Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

A

responsible for transporting oxygen attached
to hemoglobin. Mature red blood cells are
anucleate (they don’t have a nucleus) in order
to maximize the amount of space they have to
carry hemoglobin and oxygen. Makes up ~45%
of blood volume.

49
Q

Red blood cells have ____ on their surfaces

A

antigens

50
Q

What are antigens made of and their function

A

little sugars and protien that mark our blood as a certian type.

51
Q

Type a blood has what antigen

A

A antigen

52
Q

Type b blood has what antigen

A

B antigen

53
Q

Type AB blood has what antigen

A

both A and B antigen

54
Q

Type O blood has what antigen

A

neither A or B antigen

55
Q

Another surface protein besides antigen called

A

Rhesus factor (Rh)

56
Q

Two types of RH

A

+ and -

57
Q

If a donor is Rh(+) , they cannot
donate to someone who is Rh(-), because the
donor has antigens on the surface of the blood
cell. T/F

A

True

58
Q

What is a universal donar?

A

(blood donor who can donate
to anyone) is O (-).
O blood type has neither A nor
B surface antigens, and O (-) blood also does not
have an Rh surface antigen. This means there are
no blood cell surface antigens that would stimulate
immune clearance by someone receiving the O (-)
blood.

59
Q

What is universal acceptor?

A

AB (+). Because an AB (+)
person has both A and B cell surface antigens, as
well as an Rh surface antigen, they can receive any
blood type and not mount an immune response.
Any blood cell surface antigen they receive would
be something their blood cells already have.

60
Q

Where does fetus gets their oxygen and nutrients?

A

from the placenta through the umbilical cord which gets its oxygen from the mother

61
Q

Because the
fetus gets its oxygen through the placenta, the
blood in its heart does not need to go to the
pulmonary system (to the lung) – it is not exposed to air.
Instead, what happens?

A

the oxygenated blood in the right atrium
goes directly to the left atrium through a hole in
the heart called foramen ovale.

62
Q

How is the waste and carbon dioxide removed from the fetus?

A

removed from the right ventricle to the umbilical cord

63
Q

The mothers and the fetus blood mixes in the placenta T/F

A

False. does not mix

64
Q

Placenta provides an exchange of _____ and _____ across a barrier

A

gas and nutrients

65
Q

Erythroblastosis Fetalis

A

A concept that is occasionally tested is if the
mother has Rh (-) blood type and the fetus has Rh
(+) blood. During labor, the fetal Rh (+) blood will
enter the mother’s system, and she will develop
anti-Rh antibodies. This will not pose a problem
in the first pregnancy, but if the mother becomes
pregnant again with another Rh (+) fetus, the
mother’s anti-Rh antibodies will attack the fetus,
because antibodies are small enough to cross the
placental barrier.

66
Q

Where does Nutrient and gas exchange occur

A

level of the capillaries

67
Q

Hydrostatic pressure does what

A

pushes fluid out of the capillaries on the arteiral end into interstitial space

68
Q

Oncotic pressure, does what

A

a type of osmotic
pressure, brings fluid back into the capillaries at
the venule end. However, not all the fluid is
reabsorbed from the interstitial space into the
venule.

69
Q

lymphatic capillaries collect what remaining fluid

A

lymph which consists of interstitial fluid,

bacteria, fats, and proteins.

70
Q

The lymphatic
capillaries _____ together to form larger vessels
that travel to the heart.

A

merge

71
Q

lymph
is filtered through____ which are centers
for the immune response system to eliminate
infections.

A

lymph nodes

72
Q

lymph
is filtered through lymph nodes, which are centers
for the immune response system to eliminate
infections. T/F

A

True

73
Q

How is backflow of lymph prevented?

A

system of valves that prevents backflow of blood
