Exam 1 Flashcards
what is cardiac output
amount of blood flowing through left side of the heart per minute
hematocrit
percent of red blood cells in blood
what is the equation for cardiac output
CO = Pressure gradient/resistance
arterioles
dilate or constrict short term
what is the function of the heart
creates pressure gradient
what is the function of blood vessels
changes in resistance
functions of the blood
- transport (O2, CO2, nutrients, waste products, heat)
- immunity
- clotting
what are the components of the blood
- plasma (water, proteins)
- formed elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes)
how does water affect the blood
blood pressure, kidneys regulate blood volume which determines blood pressure
albumin
most common protein in plasma
clotting proteins
inactive (liver produces clotting proteins)
immunoglobulins
antibodies
what is in erythrocytes
folic acid, vitamin b12, intrinsic factor, erythropoietin
erythropoietin
produced by the kidneys
folic acid and vitamin b12
stimulate cell division
intrinsic factor
increase absorption of b12
iron
needed for blood cell production
what is the active/inactive versions of kidney proteins
- ferritin - active; apoferritin - inactive
- angiotensionogen - inactive; angiotension 1 - active
- fibrinogen - inactive; fibrin - active
antigen
unrecognized protein, usually from outside the bond
antibody
aka immunoglobulin - B cells (lymphocytes)
antibodies and antigens bind together to do what
form immune complexes
vascular spasm
blood vessels will constrict (smooth muscle contracting)
platelet plug
temporary clot; positive feedback loop
coagulation (clotting)
platelets lead to clotting
what is the steps to blood clotting
- vascular spasm
- platelet plug
- coagulation (clotting)
clotting abnormalities
- hemophilia
- thrombosis - clotting
- embolus - moving clot
what is compliance
change in volume/change in pressure
- stretchiness of veins/arteries
mean arterial pressure (MAP)
the sum of the diastolic pressure and one-third of the pulse pressure
what is the equation for MAP
MAP = CO x TPR
stroke volume
- strength of contraction (heart muscle)
- volume of blood pumped by heart per minute
heart rate
funny Na+ channels (how fast they open/close)
pacemaker
SA node (controls heart rate)
TPR - total peripheral resistance
changing size of blood vessels
alpha adrenoreceptors
constriction
beta adrenoreceptor
dilation
edema
excess fluid outside capillaries
where is the high and low pressure sides of the heart
high side = left, low side = right
arteries carry blood _____ the heart
away from
veins carry blood _____ the heart
toward the blood
where is the systemic capillary and pulmonary capillary
systemic is up and down and the pulmonary is side to side
where is the high O2 side and the low O2 side of the heart
high = left, low = right
the right side of the heart carries blood to the _____
lungs
the left side of the heart carries blood to the ______
from the ventricles to the whole body
systemic circulation
pumps blood through the body
which atriums and ventricles are the inputs and outputs
atriums are the input and the ventricles are the outputs
closing of AV valve
inflow to the ventricle - blood flowing into the heart
closing of the semilunar valve
outflow to the ventricle - blood flowing out of the heart
