1
Q

what are formed elements? Which formed elements have nuclei?

A

Erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
Leukocytes have a nucleus; erythrocytes lose their nucleus during the last stage of erythropoiesis.

Q

What is the lifespan of an erythrocytes and why?

A

Q

What happen during isovolumetric contraction, ventricular

Q

What valves are
closed at the beginning of ventricular diastole?

A

SL valves because during ventricular relaxation
blood fills the ventricles by draining from the atria

31
Q

Which heart chambers receive blood?

A

ventricles

33
Q

Name the parts of the intrinsic conduction system. What is the pacemaker of the heart?

A

Sinoatrial (SA node

34
Q

What is an electrocardiogram (ECG) and what does it record?

A

It records the electrical activity
of the heart

35
Q

What does P wave represent?

A

atrial depolarization

36
Q

What does the QRS complex represent?

A

ventricular depolarization

37
Q

what does the T wave represent?

A

ventricular repolariation

38
Q

What are the openings in the right atrium?

A

Tricuspid opening, coronary sinus, superior and
inferior vena cava

39
Q

What are the openings in the left atrium?

A

Bicuspid (mitral) opening and
the pulmonary veins

40
Q

What are the names of the valves between the atria and ventricles?

A

Atrioventricular (AV)
valves

41
Q

What are the names of the valves between the ventricles and the aorta or pulmonary
trunk?

A

Semilunar (SL) valves

42
Q

Where are the papillary muscles located and what is their purpose?

A

These muscles are located
in the walls of the ventricles and they act of the chordae tendineae to close the AV valves.

43
Q

Where are the pectinate muscles located?

A

Rough part of atria

44
Q

Where are the trabeculae carnae located?

A

Rough part of the ventricles

45
Q

Where is the
moderator band found?

A

Located in the right ventricle.

46
Q

What are the fetal adaptations within the heart and what is their purpose?

A

Since the lungs are
non-functional until the birth there is a bypass between the aorta, pulmonary trunk and the
two atria. Oxygenated enters the left atrium through the foramen ovale (at birth it closes
and becomes the fossa ovalis) and passes from the aorta through the pulmonary trunk
through the ductus arteriosus (at birth is closes and becomes the ligamentum arteriosum

47
Q

What are the types of blood vessels and examples of each?

A

Elastic or conducting artery –
aorta, muscular or distributing arteries – brachial artery, arteriole or resistance vessels,
capillaries or exchange vessels, venules, veins – vena cava

48
Q

What are the names of the different blood vessels?

A

Arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules
and veins

49
Q

What is the name of the tunics in each blood vessel?

A

All blood vessels have all 3
tunics (tunica intima, tunica media, tunica adventitia) except for the capillaries

50
Q

Where is the internal carotid artery and what is its function?

A

Branch of the common carotid
artery, participates in the formation of the Circle of Willis, passes through the skull to supply
oxygen and nutrients to the brain.

51
Q

What is an anastomosis and what is one example?

A

Connection between blood vessels that
forms around a specific structure. Examples include Circle of Willis or foramen ovale

52

54
Q

What blood vessels join to form the inferior vena cava?

A

Right and left common iliac veins

55
Q

What is the hepatic portal circulation?

A

Portal vein is formed by the union of the splenic and
superior mesenteric veins, carries nutrient rich blood to the liver and drains the majority of
the gastrointestinal tract

56
Q

What are the branches of the abdominal aorta?

A

Celiac axis/trunk, renal arteries, superior
mesenteric arteries, inferior mesenteric arteries

57
Q

Where does the popliteal lead to?

A

Anterior and posterior tibial arteries

58
Q

What organ receives blood from the internal iliac artery?

A

uterus

59
Q

What veins drain into the inferior vena cava?

A

Veins inferior to the diaphragm like the renal
veins, hepatic veins and common iliac veins

60
Q

What is cardiac output and what is the formula used to calculate it?

A

The amount of blood
ejected from the heart in 1 minute, CO=SV x HR

61
Q

How do athletes maintain a normal cardiac output with a low HR?

A

Athletes have a high stroke
volume

62
Q

What is the EDV?

A

End diastolic volume, amount of blood remaining after the ventricles relax

63
Q

What is the ESV?

A

End systolic volume, amount of blood remaining after the ventricles
contract

64
Q

What happens to the EDV with a high HR?

A

It decreases because the diastole (relaxation) time
is shorter

65
Q

What is essential hypertension and what is the cause?

A

Hypertension is a BP above 130/90 and
the cause is unknown.

66
Q

What is tachycardia?

A

Heart rate increase

67
Q

What is bradycardia?

A

Heart rate decrease

68
Q

What effect does the sympathetic nervous system have on the heart?

A

Increases the HR and
force of contraction (contractility) of the chambers

69
Q

What effect does the parasympathetic
nervous system have on the heart?

A

Decreasing the HR through the vagus nerve

70
Q

What factors affect BP?

A

Peripheral resistance of blood pressures and cardiac output

71
Q

What does blood doping do to peripheral resistance?

A

Increases peripheral resistance because
the blood is more viscous and requires more force to distribute throughout the body

72
Q

What is the response of the body from hemorrhaging profusely and going into shock?

A

Constriction of blood vessels to raise blood pressure

73
Q

What chemicals increase BP?

A

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), epinephrine, angiotensin

74
Q

What
chemicals decrease BP

A

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
