Q

How do platelets form scab

A

When skin is cut, blood is exposed to air. Platelets rush to the scene and begin sticking together her. They form fibrin, web like, to make scab

25
Irregular heart beat
Arrhythmia, occurs bc the SA node is not serving properly as pacemaker.
26
Third step to Analyze an ECG
Determine relationship between various waves.
27
Cardiac cycle
Mechanical actions
28
PR complex
Period extending from beginning of P wave until beginning of QRS complex
29
AV node
Controls heart rate
30
Tachycardia and arrhythmia
Problem w SA node, pacemaker
31
Bradycardia and arrhymia
Decrease heart rate, electrical signal problem, can’t reach valves
32
Blood typing...
Method of classifying blood based on proteins on surface of RBC
33
Most common used classification system for blood
ABO/Rh system
34
What happens when heart contracts
Pushes blood out into arteries of body
35
Blood pressure
Force created by the pulse of blood flowing through the artery
36
Healthy BP
120/80
37
Blood measured in...
Mmhg, recorded w stethoscope
38
High BP concerns
increases your risk of heart attack, heart failure and sudden cardiac death. can cause your heart muscle to weaken and work less efficiently.
39
What is the pulse
Arteries expanding in rhythm w contraction of heart
40
Sounds created by heart are caused by...
Heart valves opening/closing
41
Used to measure pulse
Stethoscope
42
How many pulse points are there
7 - radial - brachial - carotid - popliteal - posterior tibial - dorsalis pedis
43
How can pulse points be felt at different points
Can be felt anywhere an artery runs close to the skin
44
Which chambers are pumping chambers of the heart
Ventricles
45
Which chambers are the receiving chambers of the heart
Atriums
46
Purpose of heart valves
Prevent backflow of blood
47
What artery carries deoxygenated blood
Pulmonary, takes blood to lungs from the heart
48
Coronary artery function
Deliver blood to heart muscles
49
Largest artery
Aorta, brings oxygenated blood from heart to the tissues, comes from left ventricle
50
Surrounding the heart is a tough layer of connective tissue and epithelial
Pericardium
51
Why does the atria have v little muscle
Doesn’t pump blood far
52
Heart block
Enlarged heart, damage from heart attack
53
Heart filled w blood
Diastolic
54
Blood groups are...
Antigens on blood
55
What doesn’t have antibodies unless exposed to other blood
A-
56
What is dominant and recessive in blood
A and B | O
57
Rh factor on pregnancy
Mom is positive and dad is negative on second baby
58
What has Rh+ factor
Positives
59
Factors that may inhibit or enhance blood clotting process
blood doesn’t have enough water viscosity, dehydrated not enough blood volumes, slows down. Too big of a cut, hemorrhages. Low blood pressure, blood isn’t moving as fast. Low platelet count.
60
BP formula
Force per unit area
61
Blood viscosity ex.
Dehydration (thickens) | INCREASE BP
62
Total blood vessel length
Longer vessel, more friction | INCREASE BP
63
Hypertension
High BP, “silent killer”
64
Hypertension risks and effects
Effects: damages arteries, plaque build up Risks: stroke, aneurysms, heart attacks
65
Leaking valve may result in...
Clotting in arteries
66
Aneurysm
High BP= weakens arteries, fills up w blood, bubbles, of bursts you are dead.
67
Heart failure
Enlarged heart
68
Cardiac arrest defibrillation
Heart is Pumping so fast that the blood is pooling. Shocking the heart will put it back in a regular rhythm
69
Another word for heart attack
Myocardial infarction
70
Deoxygenated blood color
Dark red
71
4 main phenotypes in ABO system
A,B,O, AB
72
ABO gene on long arm chormosome
9
73
Antigens
On your cells, glycoproteins on RBC
74
Agglutination
Sticking together
75
What determines blood types
Presence of absence of antigens
76
Antibodies
Produces to non self, produce to things that don’t belong to you
77
Universal donor and recipient
R: Ab D: 0
78
ABO mismatched transfusions
Blood coagulates and body attack’s RBC | More severe in group O patients (A and B: anti)
79
Most complex system in blood
Rh with over 45 antigens
80
ABO and Rh genes are...
