lab quiz 3 Flashcards
auscultation
the method of listening to and studying these heart sounds during activity (blood flow to the heart, pumping)
stethoscope
medical instrument with ear pieces connected to tubes attached to a small, disc shaped resonator that is placed against the chest
heart murmurs
very commonly diagnosed by auscultation, where one of the heart valves does not function correctly
1st heart sound, S1
the lub of the heart, sound heard during systole, caused by closing of atrioventricular or AV valves, (mitral and tricuspid)
2nd heart sound, s2
the dub of the heart, heard during systole, caused by closure of semilunar (SL) valves (aortic semilunar and pulmonary semilunar valve). higher pitched sound than S1 due to resulting vibrations in the arteries and ventricles
3rd heart sound, s3
sound occurs during diastole, lower pitched sound that is produced by vibrations of ventricle walls as the ventricles rapidly fill w blood
4th heart sound, s4
sound occurs during diastole, low intensity sound heard as atria contracts to push blood down into ventricles
ausculatory areas
areas that represent where sounds from each valve can be heard most clearly
the 4 auscultatory areas of the chest
aortic, tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral
blood pressure
pressure created by the force of blood pushing against the wall of the arteries as your heart pumps blood into the blood vessels `
systolic pressure
pressure in arteries as ventricles are contracting, important indicator off the force of contraction of the heart
diastolic pressure
pressure in arteries when ventricles are relaxed, important indicator of condition of systemic blood vessels
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressures indicating forces blood pushing through ventricles
mean arterial pressure (MAP)
average blood pressure during a cardiac cycle, MAP = Cardiac output (CO) X Heart rate (BPM)
cardiac output, CO
stroke volume, (mL blood/beat) X HR (BPM)
tissue perfusion
the flow of blood through the tissues and organs of the body.
as vessel diameter decreases,
peripheral resistance increases,
as blood viscosity increases,
resistance increases
an increase in blank will increase BP
CO or resistance
sphygmomanometer
a pressure cuff
palpatory method of BP
method that palpates the pulse as pressure is applied to an artery with a sphygmomanometer
which artery is most typically used for application o f pressure
brachial artery
which artery is used for palpatory method
radial artery
palpatory method- which is measured systolic pr diastolic?
systolic only
