L12- Circulatory (test 3) Flashcards
What are the two circulatory systems and what can be found in each?
- Cardiovascular system
- heart, blood vessels, blood - Lymphatic system
- lymphatic vessels, lymph fluid, cells/tissues/organs
What are the functions of the vascular systems (CVS & LS)
- Transportation to/from cells
- respiratory/ gases (CVS)
- digestive/nutrients (CVS/LS)
- urinary/ wastes CVS) - Regulation
- Endocrine/hormones (CVS)
- Skin/ Temperature (CVS) - Protection
- clotting (CVS)
_ immunity (CVS/LS)
What are the two circuits found within the cardiovascular system?
Pulmonary circuit & systemic circuit
From what circuit of the cardiovascular system is oxygenated blood pumped? Deoxygenated blood?
Oxygenated blood = systemic circuit
Deoxygenated blood = pulmonary circuit
What side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs? All body tissues?
Lungs = right (pulmonary circuit)
Entire body = left (systemic circuit)
Veins
Carry blood to the heart
Arteries
from the heart to organs
In the pulmonary circuit, veins carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood? What about arteries?
Veins - oxygenated blood
Arteries - deoxygenated
In the systemic circuit do veins carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood? What about arteries?
Arteries = oxygenated blood
Veins = deoxygenated
What are the four chambers of the heart?
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
What are the great vessels of the heart?
- superior/inferior vena cava
- pulmonary trunk
- aorta
- pulmonary veins
What are the two atrioventricular valves (AV)
Right AV valve - tricuspid
Left AV valve - bicuspid
What are the two semilunar valves (SL)
- Pulmonary SL valve
- Aortic SL valve
The valves in the heart are muscle tissue
TRUE or FALSE
False - valves are fibrous tissue
Valves function is to
Prevent back flow of blood
What is the function of the pulmonary muscles & chordae tendineae in the heart?
Prevent AV valves from prolapsing / back flow of blood
What is a a heart murmur?
Abnormal sound of the heart, due to back flow of blood
What creates the 1st heart sound “Lub”? What about the 2nd heart sound “Dub”
Lub = Atrioventricular valves (AV) valves closing
Dub = Semilunar (SL) valves closing
Right v.s left ventricles
Right
- thin wall
- weak pump = generating low pressure
Left
- thick wall
- strong pump = generating high pressure
What is the pressure for the left and right ventricle?
Left ventricle = 120/80
Right ventricle = 25/8
Coronary arteries
Hearts own blood supply
Function of coronary arteries
Deliver blood to heart muscle cells during ventricular Relaxaction (diastole)
What happens when a coronary arteries are blocked?
Causes a heart attack
The cardiac cycle is..
Repeating pattern of heart contraction and relaxation
Mechanical components function of the cardiac cycle
Pump blood through pulmonary and systemic circuit
Electrical component function of the cardiac cycle
- stimulates muscle cell contraction
- creates coordinated and rhythmic contractions of the atria and ventricles
Systole
Heart muscles contract (blood ejection)
Diastole
Heart muscle relaxation (blood filling)
What are the 5 phases of the cardiac cycle?
- Isovolumetric contraction
- Ejection
- Isovolumetric relaxation
- Rapid filling
- Atrial contraction
Isovolumetric contraction
Atria relaxed
SL valves closed
Ventricles contract
- ventricle pressure > atria pressure
- closes AV valves (LUB)
Ejection
- atria relaxed
- ventricles contracted
- pressure in ventricles > aorta pressure
- opening SL valves
Isovolumetric relaxation
- atria relaxed
- ventricles relaxed
- aorta pressure > ventricle pressure > atria pressure
- closing SL valves (DUB)
