Module 1 Flashcards
Arteries
Carry blood away from heart
Veins
carry blood to the heart
capillaries
exchange of gases between tissues
pulmonary circuit
blood to lungs
systemic circuit
blood to rest of body
heart is surrounded by
pericardium
layers of pericardium
outer fibrous and inner serous
histology of heart wall
epicardium (outer), myocardium, endocardium (inner)
right ventricle
pumps for low pressure pulmonary circuit
left ventricle
pumps high pressure for systemic circuit
2 preventions of back flow of blood
atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves
systole
contraction
diastole
relaxation
Electrical events of the cardiac cycle
P wave -atrial depolarization
QRS complex -ventricular depolarization & atrial repolarization
T wave -ventricular repolarization
PR interval-AV node delay
ST segment –entire ventricle is depolarized
Cardiac output (CO)
amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle in 1 minute
Layers of arteries and veins
tunica intima, media and externa
Branches of the arch of the aorta
- brachiocephalic trunk
- left common carotid artery
- left subclavian artery
What is the function of blood vessels?
Vascular highways’ that transport blood around the body to meet demands
Arterioles
regulate blood flow into tissues
Venules
carry away waste from tissues
Pulse pressure
difference between systolic & diastolic pressures. It is this pressure difference we can feel when taking our pulse
Mean arterial pressure
the average pressure during each cardiac cycle
MAP =
diastolic pressure + 1/3 (systolic –diastolic)
MAP = CO x TPR
Blood flow to any given organ depends on
- resistance of local arterioles
2. vascularisation/open capillaries
Baroreceptors
regulates short-term responses in MAP
Long-term regulation of MAP
Left atrial volume receptors and Hypothalamic osmoreceptor
nasal septum
central wall of bone dividing the nasal cavity
Lateral wall of nasal cavity + function
conchae- increase the surface area
Pharynx divisions
Nasopharynx: from floor of skull to soft palate,
Oropharynx: from soft palate to hyoid bone
Laryngopharynx: from hyoid bone to oesophagus
Larynx
voice box, connects the pharynx to the trachea
larynx ligaments
Superior (vestibular) ligaments; Vestibular folds: false vocal cords
Inferior (vocal) ligaments; Vocal folds: true vocal cords
Trachea function
filter, warm, humidify air
splits at carina to primary bronchi
The Bronchi branches
Primary bronchus
Secondary bronchus
Tertiary bronchi
Bronchioles
bronchioles branches
terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
Pulmonary ventilation and Boyle’s Law
Increasing volume of the thoracic cavity during inhalation decreases intrapulmonary pressure
2 Pleura cavities
visceral (no pain) and parietal (pain)
Breathing types
Eupnea - quiet
hypereunpea - fast forced
Goblet cells produce?
mucin an mucous glands
