Q

Why is an ECG good for medical fields?

A

it can measure the electrical activity in the heart and we can see if the heart is working abnormally

Q

What events are occurring during the PR interval? An increase in the PR interval might indicate an abnormality in what region of the heart?

Q

What are the 3 phases of the cardiac cycle?

Q

If the atria could not contract what would happen to ventricular filling?

blood would not get pumped into the ventricles

Q

Explain what events are occurring during isovolumetric contraction and why they are necessary.

A

causes ventricular pressure to be greater than atrial pressure which produces the first heart sound

Q

What are the determinants of blood pressure?

A

the rate of blood flowing out of the heart per minute known as Q(cardiac output) which is determined by HR and SV

15
Q

What does chronotropic and inotropic mean?

A

chronotropic mean time change and isotropic means fiber change

16
Q

What is the difference between preload and afterload?

A

preload is the amount of pressure within the ventricle prior to contraction. Afterload is the pressure in the arteries outside of the semilunar valves that must be reached in the ventricles before valves can open.

17
Q

What would be the effect of an increase in preload on Q?

A

it would increase cardiac output and increase BP

18
Q

How does contractility affect ESV?

A

because increase cardiac output determines SV and SV is equal to EDV-ESV

19
Q

What is a normal blood volume? What is a normal Q at rest?

A

120/80 and 60-100bpm

20
Q

What is the Frank-Starling mechanism?

A

describes the relations between SV and EDV. It determines that they are proportional and the ventricles will expel as much blood as they receive due to a greater force of contraction

21
Q

How would an increase in afterload affect cardiac output?

A

it would decrease cardiac output

22
Q

what is SV?

A

the amount of blood pumped per contraction of the ventricle

23
Q

How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentration affect HR? Where would this change be sensed (What type of receptor and where are those receptors located)?

A

increase HR and the change will be sensed by baroreceptors located in the aortic arch and internal carotids which can sense changes in pressure

24
Q

What are the exchange vessels of the body?

A

capillaries which are the smallest vessels

25
Q

What forces drive capillary exchange? What is the source of these pressures (i.e., how can they change?)

A

tissue and blood. nutrients gases wastes and hormones

26
Q

What is the function of the endothelium?

A

provides a smooth surface for laminar blood flow. (prevents damage to platelets and blood cells.

27
Q

how is blood flow calculated?

A

change is pressure over resistance

28
Q

what is the most important factor when regulating blood flow?

A

local factors (metabolites), neural factors , and hormonal factors

29
Q

what controls vasomotion?

A

the activation of smooth muscle cells

30
Q

Why is blood flow fastest in the aorta? Why does it slow down?

A

continued friction, decreased radii of the arterioles and capillaries, and total cross-sectional area of all capillaries are much greater than that of the aorta.

31
Q

respiration

A

the process of ventilation of the lungs and exchange of oxygen and CO2 between to atm and the blood and between the blood and the tissue

32
Q

Where are the breathing centers located in the brain?

A

medulla oblongata
