Final Exam Flashcards
When is erythropeoietin stimulated and what does it do?
EPO is stimulated with there are low blood oxygen levels. it is released by the kidneys and stimulates red blood marrow of the long bone to increase RBC’s. more red blood cells will increase the o2 carrying ability of the blood.

Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas
Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils
in order of most common to least common white blood cells
Neutrophil – multi-lobed nucleus – elevated during
acute bacterial infection
lymphocytes have large nuclei and play a huge role in
immunity
Monocytes have a kidney bean shaped nucleas – elevated during
chronic bacterial infection
Eosinophils have a ______ lead the counterattack against ________
bi-lobed nucleus, parasitic worms
basophils secrete ____________ elevated when you have an infection
histamine and heperain
we need _________ for blood clotting
calcium
when there is low calcium ________ will slow
blood clotting
when there is high calcium, _______ will be fast
blood clotting
what vitamin is needed for clotting
vitamin K
coagulation or blood clotting may be initiated by either
instrinsic or extrinsic pathways.
intrinsic pathways of blood clotting
Called intrinsic because the factors needed for clotting are present within (intrinsic to) the blood.
Triggered by negatively charged surfaces activated platelets, collagen, or glass.
Slower because it has many intermediate steps
The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting is
Called extrinsic because the tissue factor it requires is outside of blood.
Triggered by exposing blood to a factor found on cells in tissues surrounding the blood vessel. This factor is called tissue factor (TF) or factor III.
Faster because it bypasses several steps of the intrinsic pathway. In severe tissue trauma, it can form a clot in 15 seconds.
both pathways of blood clotting, intrinsic and extrinsic need
vitamin K and calcium
what is Hemostasis
a whole series of events involved in stopping the bleeding
what are the 3 steps of coagulation?
vascular spasm, platelet plug, coagulation
Platelet plugs are
clumps of platelets, there to seal off small tears
The third step, coagulation or blood clotting, reinforces the platelet plug with
fibrin threads that act as a “molecular glue” for the aggregated platelets
____________ that traps blood cells and effectively seals the hole until the blood vessel can be permanently repaired
a fibrin mesh
Thrombin catalyzes the transformation of the soluble clotting factor fibrinogen into fibrin. The fibrin molecules then polymerize (join together) to form long, hairlike, insoluble fibrin strands. (Notice that, unlike other clotting factors, activating fibrinogen does not convert it into an enzyme, but instead allows it to polymerize.) The fibrin strands glue the platelets together and make a web that forms the structural basis of the clot. Fibrin makes the liquid plasma become gel-like and traps formed elements that try to pass through it
True
route of blood flow through the heart
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pul semi valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries, lungs
From lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid valve, left ventricle, aortic semi lunar valve, aorta, body, back again,
what are the three layers of the heart
the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium
Endocardium is the
inner layer of the heart – 1 layer of simple squamous epithelial cells
What is the middle layer of the heart?
Myocardium – majority of the heart – cardiac muscle cells
What is the outer layer of the heart?
Epicardium - the visceral layer
What are baroreceptors?
(pressure-sensitive mechanoreceptors that respond to changes in arterial pressure and stretch) and associated afferent fibers.
__________ reflexes are integrated in the cardiovascular center of the medulla, and their output travels via autonomic fibers to the heart and vascular smooth muscle.
baroreceptor
what part of the brains senses blood pressure changes
medulla oblongata
when there is low blood pressure sensed by the medulla what are the steps to fix it
baroreceptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch are inhibited, impulses from baroreceptors activate the cardioacceloratory center, stimulate the vasomotor center, sympathetic impulses to the heart increase, increase in HR, contractability, CO and vosomotor fibers stimulate vasocontriction - all to increase blood pressure.
Low blood flow, low blood pressure coming into the aortic arch, you will have less stretch in the blood vessels, the receptors are neurons and sense less stretch they will have less action potentials that go to the cardio vascular center in the medulla. The CVC will sense the less stretch, less blood flow, blood pressure, then it will increase
SNS.
You will see increased, Heart Rate, cardiac output goes up and pressure goes up.
Increase in contractility, increase stroke volume which increases cardiac output and blood pressure.
Affect of SNS on vasculature
increase in vasoconstriction. This will increases total peripheral resistance and increase venous return. That startlings law. Increase in endiastolic volume, increase in stroke volume, cardiac output and increase in blood pressure.
The degree to which cardiac muscle cells are stretched just before they contract, called the preload, controls stroke volume. In a normal heart, the higher the preload, the higher the stroke volume. This relationship between preload and stroke volume is called
the Frank-Starling law of the heart.
Affect of SNS on vasculature
increase in vasoconstriction. This will increases total peripheral resistance and increase venous return. That startlings law. Increase in endiastolic volume, increase in stroke volume, cardiac output and increase in blood pressure.
The isovolumetric contraction phase is the
split-second period when the ventricles are completely closed chambers and the blood volume in the chambers remains constant as the ventricles contract. As ventricular pressure continues to rise, it finally exceeds the pressure in the large arteries issuing from the ventricles
The isovolumetric stage ends as the
SL valves are forced open.
The major force moving fluid out of the arterial end
blood hydrostatic pressure
During capillary bed exchange, Higher blood pressure will cause more fluid to come out. How much of that fluid get taken by the lymph and how much of the fluid comes back into the blood?
1/10, 9/10
during capillary bed fluid exchange what draw the fluid back in
blood colloidal osmotic pressure
what is edema?
Abnormal increase in the amount of interstitial fluid; causes swelling.
what causes edema?
Either an increase in outward pressure (driving fluid out of the capillaries) or a decrease in inward pressure could be the cause.
• An increase in capillary hydrostatic pressure
• Increased interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
• Decreased capillary colloid osmotic pressure
• decreased drainage of interstitial fluid through lymphatic vessels that have been blocked
what is doc’s answer for what causes Edema
Blockage of the lymphatics. Having very high blood hydrostatic pressure or low blood colloidal osmotic pressure. Low plasma proteins. High blood pressure.
IVC vs. SVC
IVC drains the lower portion of the body. Superior vena cava drains the upper portion of the body. Lungs have their own drainage system
What is the role of increased sympathetic nervous system activity on heart rate, stroke volume and contractility?
If you increase SNS you increase HR, SV and contractility.
What is Cardiac output
Cardiac output (CO) is the amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle in 1 minute
the sounds lub-dup are associated with
the ventricles closing
lub sounds has to do with
the atrial ventricular valve closing. It signifies the point when ventricular pressure rises above atrial pressure (the beginning of ventricular systole).
What does the dup sounds have to do with?
The second sound occurs as the SL valves snap shut at the beginning of ventricular relaxation (diastole), resulting in a short, sharp sound
Increasing venous return will causes an increase in
EDV and CO and blood pressure. Exercise will do this or any sympathetic stimulation
PQRST wave
P – atrial depolarization
QRS – atrial repolarization and ventricular depolarization
T – ventricular repolarization
Blood flows from
high pressure to low pressure
Resistance impedes
flow
If you increase the viscosity of the blood, increase the length of blood vessel or if you decrease the radias all of these will
increase resistance and lower blood flow
If you increase hematocrit you
increase the viscosity or the thickness of the blood
Radius of blood vessels changes from
vasoconstriction or vasodialation.
Continuum of blood vessels thru limbs
In the arms – subclavian, axillary, brachial
Legs – external iliac, femeral, popliteal
Lymph vessels are comparable to small veins. Thin walls and have valves.
True
How do valves open and close?
All valves open and close due to changes in pressure. In heart it’s changes in blood pressure that will influence the valves
Epinephrine increases contractility. When you stimulate the SNS your also stimulated the adrenal medulla which secretes
80% epi 20% nor epi. Adrenal medulla gives us the same effect as SNS
Sequence of hemostasis
Vascular spasm, platelet plug, coagulation
Starlings law of the heart
What goes in, goes out. If you increase EDV (amount of blood in the heart after filling) you will have a increase in contractility and stroke volume.
Contractility is the force of contraction
In terms of relative size and function, arteries can be divided into three groups, what are they in size order largest to smallest?
elastic arteries, muscular arteries, and arterioles.
Elastic arteries are the
thick-walled arteries near the heart—the aorta and its major branches (Figure 19.1). These arteries are the largest in diameter, ranging from 2.5 cm to 1 cm, and the most elastic
Elastic arteries contain
more elastin than any other vessel type. It is present in all three tunics, but the tunica media contains the most. There the elastin constructs concentric “holey” sheets of elastic connective tissue that look like slices of Swiss cheese sandwiched between layers of smooth muscle cells.
muscular arteries,
which deliver blood to specific body organs (and so are sometimes called distributing arteries). Muscular arteries account for most of the named arteries studied in the anatomy laboratory. Their internal diameter ranges from that of a little finger to that of a pencil lead.
The smallest of the arteries, ________ have a lumen diameter ranging from 0.3 mm down to 10 μm.
arterioles
What are the type of blood vessels leaving the heart?
elastic
What are the two largest veins
SVC and IVC
arteries and veins
elastic, muscular, arterioles, capillaries, venules, small veins, medium veins, large veins, SVC, IVC
Why lymph nodes swell ?
Increase proliferation of lymphocytes at the germinal centers. The lymph nodes starts making more cells to fight the infection, the infection itself is not swelling the lymph nodes.
