Final Exam A&P Flashcards
Circuit that pumps blood to the lungs
Pulmonary circuit
Pulmonary circuit starts from what side of the heart?
Right side
In pulmonary circuit, what diffuses from blood into lungs?
CO2 (Carbon dioxide)
In pulmonary circuit, what diffuses from lungs into blood?
O2 (Oxygen)
In pulmonary circuit, blood returns to what side of the heart?
The left side
What circuit pumps blood to the tissues?
Systemic circuit
In systemic circuit, what side of the heart does it start?
Left side.
In systemic circuit, it delivers what to the body & head ?
O2 (Oxygen)
In what circuit picks up CO2 & waste from cells of body & head?
Systemic circuit.
In systemic circuit, which side of the heart does the blood return ?
Right side of heart
Blood flow of deoxygenated blood
Superior & inferior vena cava
Coronary sinus
right atrium
right ventricle
pulmonary trunk/PA
Lungs
blood flow of oxygenated blood
Lungs
4 pulmonary veins
coronary arteries
left atrium
left ventricle
Aorta
Body & head
What valve is between the right atrium & the right ventricle ?
Tricuspid Valve
What valve is in between the left atrium & left ventricle?
Bicuspid (Mitral valve)
Flow of blood
begins w/ deoxygenated blood
1. Sup&inf vena cava
- Right atrium & coronary sinus same time
- Tricuspid valve
2. Right ventricle
- pulmonary semilunar valve
3. Pulmonary trunk
4. Pulmonary arteries
-lung tissue
OXYGENATED START
5. Pulmonary veins
6. left atrium
- bicuspid valve
7. Left ventricle
- aortic semilunar valve
8. Aorta
-coronary arteries
to heart tissues
then deoxygenated blood starts again with cor0nary sinus- cardiac veins into right atrium.
conducting system of the heart contains
- sinoatrial (SA) node
- Atrioventricular (AV) node
- Bundle of His
- AV bundle
- Purkinje fibers
What structure is the pacemaker of the conducting system?
The Sinoatrial (SA) node
Depolarization phase in cardiac muscle
causes voltage gated Ca2+ channels to open
early repolarization phase
voltage gated Na channels & some voltage gated Ca 2+ channels close.
Plateau phase
voltage gated Ca2 channels remain open
final repolarization phase
voltage gated Ca2 channels close
many more voltage gated K+ channels open.
EKG deflections
p wave
QRS complex
t wave
What happens in P wave?
Atrial depolarization which Result in atrial contractions.
AD—> AC
what happens in QRS complex?
ventricular depolarization results in ventricular contractions
VD —> VC
what happens in T wave?
represents ventricular repolarization precedes in ventricular relaxation.
VR–> VR
What happens in PQ interval ?
Atria are contracting & begin to relax.
Ventricle begin to depolarize
what happens in QT interval?
ventricles contract & begin to relax
Altered EKGs
heart rate > 100 bpm termed tachycardia
heart rate < 60 bpm termed bradycardia
what does Atrial flutter look like?
2-3 P waves for each QRS complex
caused by ectopic APs in the atria
what is characterized by no P waves; normal QRS complexes: irregular timing
Atrial fibrillation.
ventricles constantly stimulated by atria, reduced pumping effectiveness & filling time.
What is characterized by no QRS complexes; no rhythmic contraction of myocardium
Ventricular fibrillation
characterized by occasional shortened intervals between contractions
premature atrial contractions
characterized by prolonged QRS complexes; exaggerated voltage; inverted T wave
Premature ventricular contractions
atrial contraction called
atrial systole
ventricles relax called
ventricular diastole
first heart sounds is described as
Lubb
what sound occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole caused by vibration of AV valves & fluid as AV valves close
“lubb”
second heart sound is described as
“dubb”
what sounds occurs at the beginning of ventricular diastole as semilunar valves in aorta and pulmonary artery close
” dubb”
layers of the blood veesel wall
tunica intima
tunica media
tunic externa
what layer of the blood vessel wall is composed of smooth muscle?
Tunica media
what layer of the blood vessel wall is composed of connective tissue ?
Tunica externa
what layer of the blood vessel wall is composed of epithelial cells?
tunica interna
types of capillaries
continuous
fenestrated
sinusoidal
walls have no gaps between endothelial cells and less permeable to large molecules
continuous capillaries
plasma membrane forms very thin, porous diaphragm, highly permeable
Fenestrated
larger fenestrae, gaps can exist between endothelial cells.
sinusoidal capillaries
which capillaries have gaps between adjacent endothelial cells
sinusoidal capillaries
what are the structures involved in the capillary network?
Arteriole,
metarteriole, thoroughfare channel,
precapillary sphincter
atrial capillaries
venous capillaries
venule.
capillary that have regions where their enodthelial cells have no cytoplasm and in some cases even have gap in the plasma membrane but no gaps
fenestrated
where blood moves from one capillary network to another.
portal system
what example is this, blood in the hypothalamus and they use the hypothalamophosis portal system to move that blood to the pituary gland where there could be a different capillary network.
example of a portal system
parts of the aorta
1, ascending aorta
2. aortic arch
3. descending aorta
further divided into thoracic aorta
abdominal aorta
3 vessels that branch from the aortic arch
- brachiocephalic artery
- left common carotid
- left subclavian artery
3 vessels that supply blood to the brain
- Internal carotid artery
- vertebral arteries
- circle of willis
3 vessels that drain the brain
- internal jugular veins
2.
a clot that had initially formed on a blood vessel wall but has broken off and traveled through the bloodstream
Embolus
a clot that forms on the wall of a blood vessel at a site of damage
thrombus
