Q

Explain hypertension

A

-High blood pressure
-Pressure pushed on the artery walls
-Can cause a week or even rupture. They arteries, if it is extended to a very high blood pressure and can lead to a heart attack.

Q

EKG readings: QRS wave complex( second wave)

A
  • Depolarization ( gets energy) of AV node
  • contraction of ventricals

Q

A group of cells is called a pacemaker also known as

A

Sinoatrial mode or SA node

27
Q

Anther group of cells in the right atria is called what and what do they do ?

A

AV node or atroventricular

They conduct fibers called Bundle of His.

28
Q

What are Purkinje fibers

A

Muscle fibres give energy ( depolarization) to all parts of the ventricles 

29
Q

What is an EKG ?

A

Shows the electrical signals if the heart from the surface of the body. This is to see if the heart has a regular beat

30
Q

How can other animals breath ?

  • outer skin( worms )
31
Q

Where does oxygen come from

A

Cellular respiration

32
Q

Steps of respiratory system

A

Ventilation movement of air in and out of the lungs, inhalation and exhalation

Gas exchange: exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the blood in the alveoli and replacing tissues through the diffusion

Cell respiration production of ATP

33
Q

Air around us is what and how much

A

21% oxygen
0.029% carbon dioxide
75% nitrogen

34
Q

What helps us breath

A

Brain, diaphragm and rib muscles

35
Q

What makes the lub sound

A

Comes from the aortic, tricuspid and Mitra valves closing

36
Q

Where does the Dub come from

From the semilunar valves closing

37
Q

Relaxation of the heart is called ?

A

Diastole

38
Q

The contraction of the heart is called what?

Gas exchange

Interconnects with the systematic subsystem

44
Q

What does the systematic subsystem do ?

All the capillaries, arteries, veins, venules in our artoliols

45
Q

What does the Pancreas do

A

Creates pancreatic juices that also break down fats plays a big role in regulating sugar levels in the body

46
Q

What does the liver do?

A

It cleans the toxins out of the blood and break down, nutrients and store, or release sugars, starches, fats, vitamins, and minerals
