1
Q

structure and adaptations of capillaries

A
  • very narrow lumen: red blood cells travel in a sing filed line
  • very thing walls: short diffusion distance
  • highly branched: large surface area

Q

structure and adaptations of arteries

A
  • thick walls: prevent bursting
  • elastic fibres: recoil + stretch to minimise pressure changes in blood
  • narrow lumen: maintain high blood pressure

Q

structure and adaptations of veins

A
  • thin walls: low blood pressure
  • wide lumen: maximise volume of blood flow
  • valves: prevent backflow

Q

Causes of occlusions of coronary arteries/coronary heart disease

A
  • build up of plaque in the coronary artery leading to reduced blood flow
  • plaque can rupture causing blood clots which further reduces blood flow.

Q

Explain how tissue fluid is formed

A
  • Tissue fluid is forced out of capillary at arteriole end due to high pressure called hydrostatic pressure
  • the loss of water and the concentration of plasma proteins in the capillary lowers its water potential called onotic pressure.
  • some of the water diffuses back into the capillary at the venule end via osmosis

Q

What are the three main stages of the cardiac cycle?

A

Atrial Systole
Ventricular Systole
Diastole

17
Q

What does the diastole stage consist of?

A

The ventricles and atria relax.
The semi-lunar valves close.
Blood flows passively into the atria.

17
Q

what is Systolic pressure?

A

pressure in the arteries during ventricular systole

17
Q

What does the ventricular systole stage consist of?

A
  • The ventricles contract, and the atria relax.
  • The ventricular pressure increases.
  • The semi-lunar valves open, and the atrioventricular valves close.
  • Blood flows into the arteries.
17
Q

What does the atrial systole stage consist of?

A
  • The ventricles relax, and the atria contract.
  • This increases the atrial pressure.
  • The atrioventricular valves open.
  • Blood flows into the ventricles.
18
Q

What is Diastolic pressure?

A

pressure in the arteries during diastole

19
Q

Which one is at the top of the fraction, diastolic or systolic pressure?

A

systolic pressure

20
Q

What is the role of valves?

A

prevents backflow

21
Q

what happens to valves when there is high pressure behind it?

A

opens

22
Q

what happens to valves when there is high pressure in front of it?

A

closes

23
Q

explain the steps of control of the cardiac cycle

A
  • Sinoatrial node (SAN) - This initiates the heartbeat by stimulating the atria to contract. A layer of collagen fibres prevents direct electrical flow from the atria to the ventricles.
  • Atrioventricular node (AVN) - This picks up the electrical activity from the SAN and imposes a slight delay.
  • Bundle of His - This receives electrical activity from the AVN and conducts the wave of excitation to the heart’s apex (base).
  • Purkyne fibres - These branch off the bundle of His, causing the right and left ventricles to contract from the bottom upwards.
24
Q

Explain the stages of an EGC showing the various stages of the cardiac cycle

refer to slide 64, lesson 2 of topic 5

A

P wave - Atrial systole
QRS - Ventricular systole
T wave - Diastole

25
Q

Name all the heart problems and what happens

A
  • Bradycardia – slow heart beat, less than 60 bpm
  • Tachycardia – fast heart rate, more than 100 bpm
  • Ectopic beat – extra beats follows by gaps
  • Atrial fibrillation – irregular rhythm
26
Q

What is the shape of arteries?

A

circular

27
Q

What is the shape of veins?

A

flattened

28
Q

………….(veins/arteries) have inner surface corrugation.

A

arteries

29
Q

What is inner surface corrugation?

A

little folds on the inside of arteries
