Q

Why does the left side of the heart of so much muscle mass?

A

Because the left side has to pump the blood out systemically to the body while the right side only has to pump it to the left side of the heart

Q

Which side of the heart is a high pressure system and why?

Q

Which cornary artery is considered the widow maker and why?

A

Left Anterior descending cornary artery

Because, it supplys the left/anterior portion of the heart. If gets blocked the myocardium in the L ventricle is no longer supplied, meaning blood cannot be pumped systemically

Q

Diastole = relaxiation

A
53
Q

KNOW: SA node is the P wave (probs not on test)

A
54
Q

Depolirzation = contraction of what

A

atrium and is the last event in diastole

55
Q

SA node fires and depolizes then travels where?

A

AV node –> bundle of HIS –> bundle branches –> Purkinje fibers

56
Q

What two valves close during systole and why?

A

Mitral valve and tricuspid valve close

To prevent backflow

Were increasing the pressure (squeezing the balloon to let the blood out)

If these valves werent working we wouldnt be able to pump the amount of blood needed back into the body because it would back flow into the heart

57
Q

What event marks the end of systole?

A

Ventricular contraction

58
Q

What event is the last one in diastole?

A

Atrial contraction? kind of conflicting here

62
Q

What nerve to the heart gives it parasympathetic innervation?

Affecting the rate or timing of a physiological process, especially the HR

Essentially the timing of the HR

64
Q

Inotrophic definition?

A

Another word for contractility (amount of ability for something to contract)

65
Q

Which nerve causes negative chronotropic effects and negative inotrophic effects?

A

Vagus nerve

Decreases HR and Control ability

66
Q

During a sympathetic NS response do we get positive or negative chronotropic/inotrophic effects?

A

Positive

You’re going to contract stronger and quicker (makese senese if you’re going into fight or flight)

67
Q

What autonomic nerve system causes systemic vasoconstriction?

A

sympathic NS
* not to the heart/lungs
* This is done so blood can be diverted to heart/lungs

68

A
70
Q

Of the systemic ciruclation what regulates blood flow to tissue?

A

Arterioles

73
Q

Where is diffusion of gasses?

A

Capillaries

74
Q

KNOW: Artial blood flow must be enough to push out and get all the way to the mitochondria within the tissue
* Can’t be to high that it destorys things

A
75
Q

What is pulse pressure?

A

Difference between systolic BP and diastolic BP

76
Q

What is mean arterial pressure?
What is the lowest it can be for tissue perfusion?

A

Average BP during a cycle
Need 60 for tissue perfusion

Essentially saying for the O2 to get into the cells you need a MAP of 60
* You really don’t want to exercise someone under this map

good for acute settings

77
Q

Mean arterial pressure equation?

A

MAP = DP + 1/3 (SP-DP)

MAP = DP(2/3) + SP(1/3)

78
Q

What is preload?
* What 2 things cause it to increase?

A

What you’re adding onto the heart (basically everything at end diastolic volume)

Also known as resting tension (because its not beating here)
* Exercise = increase (more blood pumped back to heart = increased EDV)
* Poor heart function = increase (note this leads to fluid retention, which is dumped in the circulatory system and back onto the heart)

79
Q

What is afterload?

A

What the heart works against

80
Q

There is an increase in afterload. What decreases?

A

Stroke volume

This is because if the heart is pumping up against more resistance not as much is going to get out, thereby decreasing SV

81
Q

Stroke volume =

A

Amount of blood pumped out of LV

82
Q

Increased or reduced ventricular compliance leads to a higher end diastolic volume?

A

Increased ventricular compliance leads to a higher end diastolic volume. This is because the ventrical can fill more easily

83
Q

What is ejection fraction?

A

Percentage of how much volume of blood the L ventrical pumps out with each contraction

EF = SV/EDV

KNOW: this also determines that amount of EX / medical percedures they can do. Doctor might think they won’t do well under anastegia

They get this on an ultrasound to see how much fluid is running through heart. If its in the 20’s or lower they won’t do surgery.

84
Q
A
85
Q

Think of arterioles as an off ramp on the highway. They split off arteries and slowly come to a stop, dead ending in the capillaries

A
86
Q

KNOW: arteries respond to sympathic/parasympathic stimulation (because they have smooth muscle)

A
87
Q

What hormones affect arterioles (4)

A

Epinephrine
Vasopressin
Atrial natriuretic peptide
Angiotensin II

All of these control BP in one way or another (she said we’d dive into it later, so probs don’t memorize)

88
Q
A
89
Q

cardiac output defienition

A

Amount of blood pumped out of heart per minute

90
Q

Cardiac output equation

A

HR*SV

91
Q

SV equation

A

EDV-ESV

92
Q

Heart rate is inversly porportional to… why?

A

Heart rate is inversely proportional to SV

CO = HR*SV

CO stays constant, so as one increases the other must decrease (HR goes up SV goes down to maintain a constant CO)

93
Q

Normal CO?

A

4-6L
* Wants to maintain this amount always

100
Q

Main structure for humidification?

A

Nasal cavity

101
Q

What do Goblet cells produce and where are they?

This mucus traps pathogens and keeps them from going into the body

102
Q

What kind of cells line the trachea?

A

Cilia cells (little hairs)
* Move things along
* Goblet cells produce mucus here and the cilia cells move them along

103

Passive at rest - however, forces expiration uses abdominal and internal intercostals muscles

112
Q

A

hypoxemia (decrease in oxygenation to vital organs)

Located in carotid and aorta

119
Q

KNOW: Mucociliary transport
* Cila grab the mucus produced in the trachea by the goblet cells that has captured pathogens and moving it up and away

A
120
Q

What does surfactant production do?

A

Lubricates the alveoli, reducing the tension in the alveioli (note the alveoli are where gas exchange happens so they cant be stuck together, reducing the surface area)

Note, Premature babies can be missing this

Alveoli = little bubbles

121
Q

What do alveolar macrophages do?

A

eat virusus

122
Q

When do mast cells come?

A

When theres inflammation they come out and alert everything else (lay the cones down in a car wreck)

123
Q

What two things cause lung inflammation?

A

Smoking / asthma

124
Q

For insipration to work we need
* partial pressure difference (high pressure outside –> low pressure inside)
* Alveolar-capillary interface available (gas exchange takes place here)
* Membrane thickness (needs perfect thickness to provide gas exchange)
* Diffusion coefficient (has to be an optimal concentration for diffiusion to occur)

A
125
Q

What closes during expiration?

A

Glottis –> so you don’t get air into belly

NOTE: this is a passive process

126
Q

Is intrathoracic pressure increased or decreased w/ expiration?

A

Increased

Pressure inside is more than outside –> so air travels out
