pulmonary and aortic
separate anything from leaving the ventricles
AV are active valves
chorde tendinae pull on the valve to actively open it
Semilunar valve
passive
as heart contracts the pressure builds up which causes the opening of the valves
Layers of heart
Endocardium
innermost layer which touches blood
Myocardium

in systemic system the arteries are oxygenated
Arteries = leaving the heart
Vein = towards the heart
Pulmonary system arteries are deoxygenated
in systemic system the arteries are oxygenated
Pulmonary circuit
Blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs
Receives oxygen poor blood from the body tissues and then pumps this blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and dispel carbon dioxide
Systemic circuit
The vessels that transport blood to and from all body tissues and back to the heart
Receives the oxygenated blood returning from the lungs and pumps this blood throughout the body
Layers of vein
Tunica intima is the innermost layer that touches blood
Tunica media
muscular layer
controls vasocontriction and vasodilation
Tunica adventitia
outermost layer
Vein has a one way valve
venous system has low BP
valve prevents backflow
Skeletal muscle pump(veins)
seen in the legs
as muscles contract they squeeze the blood vessels to help push the blood up towards the heart
Pressure gradient(veins)
as the diaphragm contracts the pressure in the abdominal cavity increases while thoracic cavity pressure decreases
blood likes to go from high to low pressure so moves towards heart
What helps move blood in veins?
- one way valves
- skeletal muscle pump
- pressure gradient
Auscultation of the Heart Sounds
Know points S1 and S2 and lub and dub
the sound is from the turbulence of the blood flow NOT the physical closing of valves(door wooshing through a closing door not the door actually closing)
S1 “Lub” – first sound; produced by turbulent blood flow through the AV valves
S2 “Dub” – second sound; produced by turbulent blood flow through the semilunar valves
5 areas of auscultation:
Tricuspid Bicuspid (Mitral) Primary pulmonic Secondary pulmonic Aortic

Blood Pressure
When the left ventricle ejects blood into the aorta, the aortic pressure rises. The maximal arterial pressure following ejection is termed the systolic pressure.
As the left ventricle is relaxing and refilling, the aortic pressure falls. The minimal arterial pressure following ventricular relaxation is termed the diastolic pressure.
Aortic blood pressure is not usually measured directly but is estimated using an instrument called a sphygmomanometer.
Systolic Pressure: the pressure at which the first Korotkoff sound is heard
Diastolic Pressure: the pressure at which the sound disappears

Atrial Flutter (A-flutter)
Consecutive atrial depolarization waves or “flutter” waves
“Saw-tooth” appearance
Different ratios (2:1, 3:1, 4:1) possible
no p wave but flutter waves
lack of complete atrial depolarization
Atrial Fibrillation (A-fib)
Caused by many ectopic atrial foci firing at rapid rates
No distinguishable P waves because the atria are sending impulses erratically
Variable and irregular QRS response
little vibrations rapidly instead of full contraction
no p wave
random firings
worse than A-flutter
Ventricular Tachycardia (V-tach)
Characteristic wide QRS complexes
P wave generally blends within the QRS
full QRS
p wave fuses into QRS
get the depolarization of the ventricles
Both of these require defibrillation
shocking to reset the SA node
idea is to stop everything with a large amount of energy are reset the system
Ventricular Fibrillation (V-fib)
Ventricular fibrillation is a type of cardiac arrest. There is no effective pumping action by the heart and thus there is no circulation.
Lack of any identifiable waves on the electrocardiogram; it appears as erratic, rapid twitching of the ventricles
Requires immediate CPR and defibrillation
shivers of ventricles
random and no coordination
blood is not being pumped to body
cardiac arrest
Both of these require defibrillation

AV Blocks
First-degree AV block
AV block = block between atrium and ventricular depolarization
Blocks still have the p wave unlike a flutter
Characterized by a consistently prolonged PR interval
PR interval greater than 0.2 second or one large square
Not necessarily a “block” but rather a “delay”
AV Blocks
Second-degree AV block
AV block = block between atrium and ventricular depolarization
Blocks still have the p wave unlike a flutter
Allows some atrial depolarization (P waves) to conduct to the ventricles while some are blocked, leaving lone P waves without an associated QRS
For the purposes of this class, second degree blocks can be distinguished by repeated P waves prior to the QRS complex or P waves that are missing their corresponding QRS complex
AV Blocks
Third-degree AV block
AV block = block between atrium and ventricular depolarization
Blocks still have the p wave unlike a flutter
Total block of conduction to the ventricles
The atria and ventricles have lost communication and are now functioning independently of one another
For the purposes of this class, third degree AV blocks can be distinguished by no relationship between the P and the QRS waveforms.

B
AB
O
Group A
has the A antigen on RBCs and B antibody in the plasma
Group B
has the B antigen on RBCs and A antibody in the plasma
GroupAB
has both A and B antigens on RBCs, but neither A nor B antibody in the plasma
Group O
has neither A nor B antigens on RBCs, but both A and B antibody are in the plasma
Group A
A antigen and B antibody
Group AB
A and B antigens but no A or B antibody
can get A or B blood
Group O
neither A or B antigens but both A and B antibodies
can be given to any because without antigens then the O cells wont find A or B as invader

Group AB
A and B antigens but no A or B antibody
can get A or B blood
Group O
neither A or B antigens but both A and B antibodies
can be given to any because without antigens then the O cells wont find A or B as invader
Rh factor
In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a third antigen called the Rh factor, which can be either present (+) or absent ( – ).
Rh antigen is sometimes referred to as D antigen.
Rh negative blood is given to
Rh negative patients.
Rh positive blood or Rh negative blood may be given to Rh positive patients.
O- is the universal donor and AB+ is the universal recipient
Rh antigen AKA D antigen
Rh negative means they do not carry Rh factor so if Rh positive given then the body will treat the + as a foreign invader and attack
cant give Rh+ to Rh- patient
can gives Rh – to Rh+ patient though
already have the Rh+ antigen
O- is universal donor
does not have A or B antigens or Rh factor so it can be received by anything
AB+ is the universal recipient
does not have A or B antibodies
has Rh+ factor

Polycythemia
Meaning “many blood cells”
Abnormal excess of erythrocytes in the blood
Blood doping
Hemolytic Diseases
Rh incompatibility of mother and second child
When an Rh- woman carries and delivers an Rh+ baby, a small amount of the baby’s blood comes in contact with the mother’s blood at birth.
Post-partum, the immune system of some women develop Rh+ antibodies. So if this woman becomes pregnant with another Rh+ baby her antibodies will cross the placenta and attack the embryos blood.
Polycythemia
many blood cells in body
Blood doping
removed plasma from blood then added back to body
higher RBC count which means carrying additional oxygen and able to perform better at things like sports
Hemolytic disease
first pregnancy is fine
second pregnancy is a problem
moms antibodies will attack fetus as something is in the blood that is recognized as foreign
