Q

What’s the difference between viscosity and density?

A

Viscosity = Thickness
Density = Mass per volume

e.g. water is more dense than oil, but oil has higher viscosity.

26
Q

What signals the end of Phase III?

A

Aortic valve closing

27
Q

why does the aortic valve close?

A

Pressure in aorta is greater than pressure in ventricle.

28
Q

What does the mitral valve need to open?

A

needs ventricular pressure to drop lower than the atrium.

29
Q

Beginning and end of phase IV?

A

Aortic valve closes and then mitral valve opens

30
Q

How many phases is the pressure volume loop?

A

4

31
Q

Diastole will start when?

A

When the aortic valve closes, aka beginning of phase IV or end of Phase III

32
Q

Systole will start when?

A

End of phase I, beginning of phase II.

33
Q

What phases are during diastole?

A

end of phase III to beginning of phase II

34
Q

When blood is going into the ventricle, describe the speed of the filling

A

rapid filling when valve first opens, then slows down, then atrial kick.

35
Q

If the mitral valve is stenotic, how is the filling?

A

Going to fill much slower

36
Q

Describe the speed of the blood ejecting out of the ventricle during systole?

A

Super fast at first, then slowly comes out towards the end of systole.

37
Q

Blood is ejected out of the ventricle until the end of

A

phase III

38
Q

The first heart sound is

A

AV valve closing

39
Q

The second heart sound is

A

the aortic valve closing

40
Q

When is aortic pressure highest?

A

Peak of Phase III

41
Q

When is aortic pressure lowest?

A

Beginning of phase II

42
Q

All the valves in the heart are

A

one way valves

43
Q

The Atria do not have a valve that is

A

behind them

44
Q

If the right atrial greater than zero, how does that affect venous return? why?

A

Lower venous return, because delta P of the CV system is what moves blood. This would lower the delta P.

45
Q

What is the plateau of venous return? (the pressure in the atria and how much volume)

A

-4mmHg, about 6L/min.

46
Q

What is the transitional zone for venous return?

A

0mmHg to -4mmHg, 5-6L/min

47
Q

Why does the venous return plateau?

A

The large veins that fill the right atria can collapse past -4mmHg, preventing more venous return.

48
Q

Mean systemic filling pressure (definition and abbreviation)

A

Sum total of all pressure in the cardiovascular system, which is 7mmHg. Abbreviated as Psf

49
Q

what is the total delta p of PSF and right atrium?

A

7mmHg

49
Q

What can change the Psf most effectively?

A

contraction of systemic veins, since they are large and contain the most blood volume

49
Q

If you increase the Psf, the venous return will

A

increase

50
Q

If our Psf is doubled to 14, the venous return would be

A

10L/min

If you notice, the Psf doubled and so did the venous return. THE SLOPE DID NOT CHANGE!

51
Q

If our Psf is cut in half to 3.5mmHg, the venous return would be

A

2.5L/min

52
Q

Increase or decrease in CVP should also change

A

Right atrial pressure

53
Q

Intrathoracic pressure normally is

A

0mmHg

54
Q

If someone has high PEEP, it will

A

increase intrathoracic pressure and reduce venous return to the heart cause it can collapse those veins

55
Q

IF there is sympathetic stimulation, an increase in right atrial pressure to 4mmHg will result in

A

a great increase in cardiac output.

56
Q

If there is normal sympathetic stimulation, the max cardiac output is

A

13l/min at +4mmHg

57
Q

If there is MAX sympathetic stimulation, the max cardiac output is

A

23-25L/min at +4mmHg, but if youre an elite athlete it can go up to 40L/min

58
Q

With paraympathetic stimulation, the cardiac output at +4mmHg in the right atria is

A

around 7-8L/min

59
Q

Direct atrial stretch

A

if atrial stretches increases, we will have an increase in heart rate and contractility.

60
Q

3 reasons for increase in cardiac output when increasing right atrial pressure

A

Frank-starling law, direct atrial stretch, bainbridge reflex

61
Q

how much can the Direct atrial stretch increase heart rate?

A

10-15%

its built in to our electric system, it is not a result of the brain or anything.

62
Q

How much can the Bainbridge reflex increase the heart rate? How does it work?

A

40-50%, external reflex that is sensed by heart and carried to nervous system, carried by the vagus nerve. The atria stretch out and send signal to brain stem to increase heart rate.

Decreases parasympathetic and increases sympathetic outflow.

63
Q

with more sympathetic stimulation, there is more or less right atrial pressure needed?

A

lower/more negative

64
Q

If we slow down the heart rate, the right atrial pressure will

A

increase

65
Q

What does the cardiac output curve look like with congestive heart failure?

A

More 1:1 slope with pressure and output, pretty much a straight diagonal line. There right atrial pressure will be really high to get up to 5L/min of cardiac output.

High CVP in order to sustain life!!
