Garman- CV1: Intro CV Flashcards
Which part has largest volume distribution of blood in CV system?
Veins (64% or 2/3 or blood)
Where is the most resistance met in vascular system?
Small arteries and arterioles (47%)
Capillaries (27%)
How long does it take for blood to make complete circuit?
1 minutes (5L of blood/5L of minute)
Which organ take largest flow of blood at rest?
Liver and GI trat (Q=24%) and skeletal muscle (21%) Kidney (21%)
What is another name for the high-pressure system in CV system?
Supply function
What is another name for low-pressure system in CV circuit?
Reservoir function
Which area takes highest amount of oxygen consumption (VO2)?
Liver/GI tract (24%) Skeletal muscle (27%)
Why does the kidney take a lot of blood, but not utilize much oxygen consumption?
Kidney cleans blood but does not extract much oxygen from blood
How do we direct blood from one tissue to another?
Manipulate size of arterioles/small arteries
How much time spent in veins at rest?
38 seconds (most time)
How much time spent in capillaries at rest?
3 seconds
How much time spent in heart at rest?
4 seconds
How much time spent in large arteries at rest
4 seconds
How much time spent in small arteries at rest?
5 seconds
How much time spend in lungs at rest
5 seconds
How much blood do we typically pump in exercise?
25 L/minutes
How does flow through organs change during exercise?
Heart increases flow
GI decreases flow
Skeletal increases flow a lot
Renal decrease flow 50%
Where is base of heart?
Flattened superior portion
Where is apex of heart?
Inferior tip, directed downwar and to the left
What is the pericardium?
Double walled sac that covers heart
Formed from visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium
What is pericardial cavity?
Formed between visceral and parietal pericardium
What is endocardium
Areolar tissue and endothelium. Continuous with blood vessel
What makes up myocardium
Cardiac muscle cells
Connective tissues
What makes up parietal pericardium?
Dense fibrous layer
Areolar tissue
Mesothelium
What makes up epicardium (visceral pericardium)
mesothelium (simple squamous cell)
areaolar tissue
How does heart muscle contract? (motion)
Wraps in spiral shape
Pathway of blood flow through heart
Blood from systemic circuit –> venae vacae and coronary sinus–> RA–> RV via tricuspid–> pulmonary trunk via pulmonary valve–> pulmonary capillaries–> alveolar capillaries–> pulmonary veins–> LA –> LV via mitral valve–> Aorta via aortic valve–> blood to systemic circuit
Heart is a ___ pump
double (systemic and pulmonary circulation)
How to calculate CO?
HR x SV
What is referred to as systemic circulation?
Left heart–> aorta–>tissues
What is referred to as pulmonary circuilation?
Right heart–> pulmonary arteries–> lungs
What receives deoxygenated blood from tissues?
Right atrium
