Mixed Physiology Flashcards
what causes the 1st heart sound
closure of AV valves
when does the aortic valve open?
during what phase of cardiac cycle?
Ventricular P > aortic P
rapid ventricular ejection
what does the onset of the T wave mark?
end of both ventricular contraction and rapid ventricular ejection
what wave on the venous curve corresponds with rapid ventricular ejection?
c wave
what is the 2nd heart sound?
closure of aortic and pulmonic valves
what special event occurs after closure of aortic valve during isovolumetric ventricular relaxation?
dicrotic notch/incisura
where is ventricular volume at its lowest point?
during isvolumetric ventricular relaxation
what causes the 3rd heart sound?
rapid blood flow from the atria into the ventricles
what is the longest phase of the cardiac cycle?
diastasis (reduced ventricular filling)
which baroreceptors respond to inc. and dec. in arterial pressure?
carotid sinus
which baroreceptors responds only to INCREASES in arterial pressure?
aortic arch
dec. arterial pressure leads to dec. stretch of the walls of the carotid sinus. what does this do?
dec. firing rate of carotid sinus nerve (CN 9)
what are the responses to dec. in arterial pressure?
INC HR, contractility, vasoconstriction of arterioles and veins
a decrease in renal perfusion pressure triggers what?
JG cells of afferent arteriole to secrete renin
what are the 4 effects of angiotensin II?
secretion of aldosterone from adrenal cortex
INC. Na-H exchange in PCT to INC Na reabsorption
INC. thirst
vasoconstriction of the arterioles –> INC TPR and arterial Pressure
what is a response to cerebral ischemia?
Cushing reaction
when is ADH (Vasopressin) released?
during hemorrhage
when atrial receptors respond to DEC in blood volume (or BP)
what are ADH’s affects?
inc BP towards normal via V1 and V2
what is the ADH V1 response
vasoconstriction that INC TPR on arterioles
what is the ADH V2 response?
INC water reabsorption by collecting ducts
when is ANP released?
response to INC in blood volume and atrial pressure
what does ANP cause?
relaxation of vascular smooth m., dilation, dec TPR
inhibits renin secretion
INC excretion of Na and water to DEC arterial pressure
release of histamine causes large increases in what and can eventually lead to what local effect?
Pc
edema
what organs exhibit autoregulation?
brain, kidney, heart
what are some vasodilator metabolites?
CO2, H+, K+, lactate, adenosine
what hormone causes vasoconstriction, common in migraines?
serotonin
what is the only compensatory mechanism to hemorrhage that DECREASES?
what does this lead to?
Pc
INC fluid reabsorption and blood volume
what causes the 4th heart sound?
filling of the ventricle by atrial systole
what do platelets contain?
actin and myosin mitochondria and ER COX1 PDGF serotonin fibrin stabilizing factor
what do platelets bind to in the formation of a platelet plug?
what links this binding?
collagen
VW factor
