Exam 2-Cardiovascular System Flashcards

1
Q

What is cardiac output?

A

Volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute.

Cardiac output can be found by multiplying heart rate by the stroke volume; an increase in stroke volume or an increase in heart rate will increase the cardiac output and vice versa.

Q

In red blood cells, what carries oxygen?

A

Iron in the heme group in hemoglobin

28
Q

What does CO2 bind to in RBCs and what is the name of its form?

A

It binds to globin

and the form is called carbaminohemoglobin

29
Q

If O2 carrying capacity decreases, what will the kidney do to increase the O2 carrying capacity?

A

It secretes erythropoietin

30
Q

What is the production of platelets called?

A

Thrombocytopoiesis

31
Q

Why are megakaryocytes important in platelet production?

A

They shed their cytoplasm which becomes platelets

32
Q

What hormone stimulates production of megakaryocytes?

A

Thrombopoietin

33
Q

Where are most platelets stored and how long can they stay in the blood before they’re destroyed?

A

The spleen

10 days;

macrophages eat them; they are released from the spleen due to the sympathetic induced splenic contraction

34
Q

Name the 3 functions of platelets:

A
  1. Transport clotting chemicals
  2. Form a platelet plug
  3. Contract to shrink clots
35
Q

True or False: Platelets contain actin and myosin.

A

True; this enables the clot to contract bringing the walls of the vessels together to seal the injury.

36
Q

What agents released from platelets vasoconstrict blood vessels?

A

Serotonin

Thromboxane A2

37
Q

When platelets come into contact with collagen,what agent causes them to become sticky?

What agent enhances the above agent?

A

ADP

Thromboxane A2

38
Q

What does the Von Willebrand factor do?

Where is it synthesized from?

A

It anchors the clot to the epithelium and prevents it from washing away

It is synthesized by endothelial cells

39
Q

Ca2+ released from platelets is required from _________ and __________

A

Platelet aggregation and clotting

40
Q

What agent stimulates the division of endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts?

A

Plate derived growth factor (PDGF)

41
Q
A
42
Q

What is the end stage of the vacular spasm step in hemostasis?

A

Endothelial cells become sticky and release von willebrand factor

43
Q

When a platelet plug has been formed, prostacyclin inhibits further platelet aggregation is this is considere dthe last step in the ____________ phase of hemostatsis.

A

Platlet plug formation

44
Q

If factor XII is activated when platelets come into contact with collagen, what clotting pathway is this considered part of?

A

Intrinsic

45
Q

True or False: The extrinsic pathway is slow acting and si activated when the outside of blood vessels rupture.

A

False: The extrinsic pathway is fast-acting

46
Q

Which clotting pathway involves activated platelets releasing thromboplastin (TF)?

A

Extrinsic

47
Q

Which two vitamins are essential for clotting?

A

Calcium​ (Ions)

Vitamin K

48
Q

Which clotting factor binds with Ca2+ ions and forms prothrombinase?

A

Factor V, which previously combined with activated Factor X

49
Q

Which clotting pathway is shared at the end of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways?

A

The Common Pathway

50
Q

How is thrombin formed during the common pathway of coagulation?

When Ca2+ bins to thrombin, what occurs?

A

Prothrombinase and Ca2+ catalyze prothrombin into thrombin

Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin which strenghtens the blood clot

51
Q

To ensure the clot doesn’t grow out of control, has to happen?

A

Fibrin can inactivate thrombin distrupting the positive feedback loop

52
Q

What is heparin and what does it do?

A

Anticoagulant; can be natural or a drug

Stimulates the activation of antithrombin III which inhibits thrombin ( a procoagulant)

53
Q

Which anticoagulant inhibits platelet aggregation and opposes stimulation of ADP?

A

Prostacyclin

54
Q

If certain clotting factors can not be synthesized due to the blocking of Vitamin K, what is the most probable explanation?

A

The anticoagulant drug, warfarin, was administred to the patient, blocking Vitamin K

55
Q

If fibrin in the clot starts dissapearing, which anticoagulants could be at work?

A

tPA

Streptokinase

Converts plasminogen to plasmin which digtest fibrin

56
Q

Thrombin can be inactivated by _______, a proagulant.

A

Antithrombin III

57
Q

Which drug do you have to be very careful about administering because it directly degrades fibrin into fibrinogen?

A

Urokinase

58
Q

How to EDTA tubes prevent coagulation of a blood sample?

A

The coating on the sides of the test tube removes Ca2+ from the plasma

59
Q

How does thrombin assist in fibrinolysis?

A

It indirectly inhibits an inhibiator of tPA allowing tPA to be released which converts plasminogen to plasmin

Plasmin digest fibrin

60
Q

What does MAP stand for and how is it calculated?

A

Mean Arerial Pressure: average pressure responsible for driving blood foward into tissues

Diastolic pressure + 1/3 (Systolic pressure - Diastolic Pressure)

61
Q

What does Isovolumetric mean?

A

The volume does not change, it stays the same throughout the cycle

62
Q

When does isovolumetric contraction occur?

A

Early in ventricular systole when all the valves are closed and the ventricles are beginning to contract; the volume of blood in these moments does not change due to all valves still being closed (AV and Semilunar).

63
Q

Ventricular contraction completes, the semilunar valves close due to backflow of blood from the aorta and pulmonary trunk. The AV valves are still closed as the ventricles relax keeping the volume of blood in the ventricles the same. What is this phenomenum called?

A

Isovolumetric Relaxation
