Exam 1 Flashcards
cardiopulmonary system is made up of what systems?
cardiovascular
circulatory
pulmonary
purposes of cardiopulmonary system
transport O2 to tissues
remove CO2 waste from tissue
regulate body temp and metabolism
2 major adjustment of blood flow during exercise
increase CO
redistribution of blood flow
blood flow from heart to lungs
heart
arteries
arterioles
capillaries
venules
veins
heart
epicardium
outside of heart (lubricative)
blood capillaries, lymph capillaries, nerve fibers
myocardium
muscular contractions
endocardium
protective inner lining of chambers and valves
endothelial tissue and collagenous fibers
blood flow through heart
R. Atria
R. AV valve (tricuspid)
R. Ventricle
Pulmonary valve
Pulmonary artery
Lungs
Pulmonary veins
L. Atria
L. AV valve (bicuspid)
L. ventricle
Aortic valve
aorta
contraction phase of cardiac cycle
systole
ejection of blood
relaxation phase of cardiac cycle
diastole
filling with blood
parasympathetic nerves and neurotransmitters
vagus nerve
acetylcholine
sympathetic nerves and neurotransmitters
thoracic spinal nerves
norepinephrine
epinephrine
what does sympathetic trunk innervate?
ventricles to increase strength of contraction
PSNS ganglion position
ganglion is further from spinal cord
SNS ganglion position
ganglion runs next to spinal cord along sympathetic trunk
incomplete vs complete SCI
depends on if ANS is compromised
SNS impacts on HR
inc. bloodstream catecholamine levels
vasoconstriction
elevate HR
PNS impacts on HR
direct innervation via vagus nerve
constant acetylcholine activity
lower HR
ECG measures
electrical activity not contraction
SA node
pacemaker
initiates depolarization
AV node
passes depolarization to ventricles
delay for refilling
bundle branches
between left and right ventricle
Purkinje fibers
in ventricles
AV bundles
so atria and ventricles dont contract at same tome
P wave
atrial depolarization
QRS complex
ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
T wave
ventricular repolarization
