Final Exam Flashcards
A system of transport and delivery that carries away metabolic wastes and circulates blood.
Cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular system includes 4 things
1) Pump
2) A system of arteries
3) A system of Capillaries
4) A system of veins.
vessels with two functions
1) serve as the rout of distribution of body fluids to the body
2) Serve as a pressure reservoir
Arteries
serve as the actual sight of exchange between blood and tissue
Capillaries
Have two primary functions
1) a rout of return of blood to the heart
2) serve as volume reservoir
Veins
right ventricle to lungs and back to left atrium, its shoer distance and low resistance. So the right ventricle doesn’t generate much force and had very thin wall/ weaker muscle.
Pulmonary Circulation
long distance circulation, high resistance and has to generate more force so it has much thicker muscular wall
Systemic circulation
back flow of blood into the left ventricle
mitral valve prolapse
Have the “funny Na channels”
cardiac ventral cells
the pacemaker of the heart
sino atrial
SA node
area where atria is thinner than normal and membranes join each other
intercalated disk
very thick fivers that conduct AP at fast speeds
Purkinje Network
cardiac muscle cells that have lost ability to contract
AV node
measurement of the fraction of total blood volume made up by the red blood cells
Hematocrit
blood plasma is inside the
ECF
sight of CO2 exchange so when they leave this, they are deoxygenated
capillaries
_____ is highest near the heart, the further away from the source of pressure, the more it drops.
BP
systematic circulatory system from largest to smallest
aorta-> arteries-> arterioles-> capillaries-> vennules-> veins-> super interior veins
pressure of fluid (blood) pushing outward against capillary wall as it goes through the capillary
Hydrostatic Pressure
plasma having a higher concentration of of protein and Na and Cl in ECF than ICF
-attracting water back into the capillaries
colloid osmotic pressure
smooth muscle that gives arteries unique characteristics
tunica media
difference between the arteries pressure of systole and distole
pulse pressure
flow of discrete pulses
pulsation flow
only open on one end, these block the vein to prevent blood back flow
pocket valves
these have only one layer of the epithelial cells (tunica intima)
capillaries
mechanisms that control capillary blood control
1) Nervous control (symp nervous system)
2) Local control
3) reflex cardiovascular control
most abundant receptor in the capillary blood nervous (symp) control, causes internal smooth muscle to contract and puts pressure on the blood
alpha 1
action of the sympathetic nervous system
maintain high blood pressure in the major arteries of the body
-this guarantees constant blood flow to heart and brain that need it most
when the symp NS is stimulated the alpha 1 nerves will shut down to maintain______________
peripheral resistance, high arterial BP and flow to the heart.
inhibitory para sympathetic receptors
inhibitory- inhibit closing
inhibitory, however they have no connections to the sympathetic nervous system. They are sensitive to epi and norepi stimulating in the blood.
