Module 5 Flashcards
CV system includes, and fn
- heart
- blood
- blood vessels
fn: transport, pathogen protection
Blood composed of
- Plasma: Proteins like Albumins, Globulins, Fibrinogen
- formed elements(cell and cell parts)
- 90% water
erythrocytes
small, round, life span of 120 days
Leukocytes are…
BEN-G, ALM
white blood cells,
- granulocytes: basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils
- agranulocytes: lymphocytes and monocytes
Thrombocytes are
platelets, are involved in hemostasis
Basophils appearance
round, with darker dots
Eosinophils appearance
roundish, binucleate
Neutrophils appearance
trinucleate
Monocytes apperance
one nucleus, moonshaped
Lymphocytes appearance
round, about as small as the RBC
Platelets appearance
small purple blobs
Heart layers out-> in
- Fibrous pericardium: opaque layer
- Parietal Pericardium
- Pericardial cavity: fluid-filled
- Visceral pericardium (Epicardium)
- Myocardium: thickest
- Endocardium
Pericadial sac includes the
Parietal pericardium and Fibrous pericardium
Base and Apex
Base is up top, where the atria are.
Apex is low, the bottom tip of heart
Chambers of the heart
- right atrium
- left atrium
- right ventricle
- left ventricle
What divides the ventricles inside?
interventricular septum
Major blood vessels to know
- Superior Vena cava
- Inferior vena cava
- Aorta (aortic arch)
- Pulmonary trunk
- Pulmonary arteries
- Pulmonary veins
- Descending aorta
part that divides the ventricles on the outside of heart
anterior interventricular sulcus
Heart valves
- Aortic valve
- Right AV valve
- Left AV valve
- Pulmonary valve
Chordae tendineae are..
fibers that attach the valve of the heart to the papillary muscle
Papillary muscle are..
muscles that attach to the valve and aid in contraction
Pulmonary circiut of ciruclation
Heart-> lungs-> heart
Systemic circuit of circulation
heart-> all the body-> heart
Conduction system
SA node depolarizes (~70bpm) >AP to AV node> depolarization spreads to AV bundle> Bundle branches> Purkinje fibers> contraction induced on muscle from apex upward
Systole means (in terms of contractions)
contracted state
Diastole means (in terms of contractions)
Relaxed state (un contracted)
carries blood from body to heart
vein
carries blood from heart to body
artery
Components that supply blood to the heart
- Great cardiac vein
- right coronary artery
- left coronary artery
- circumflex branch of left coronary artery
- Anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery
- Coronary sinus
Blood supply to heart flow
left coronary artery> anterior interventricular branch of leftcoronary artery> circumflex branch of left coronary artery> right coronary artery> great cardiac vein> coronary sinus> right atrium
List Arrhythmias and what
- Tachycardia: faster than normal @ rest
- Badycardia: Sower than normal @ rest
- Fibrilation: uncoordination of heart muscle contraction. [No pumping]
Atherosclerosis is
cholesterol buildup over a long period of time (common in coronary artery
Heart disease AKA
Cardiovascular disease
Angina pectoris
Neck, chest and referred arm pain from low O2 in the heart tissue (from the narrowing of artery caused from plaque)
Myocardial infarction
“heart attack” plaque built up to far that blockage occurs and causes damage to other tissue
Layers of arteries and veins
Tunica intima (tunica interna) : internal, elastic, endothel Tunica media: smooth muscle Tunica externa: largest
Large and med veins have these layers
- Tunica externa
- tunica media
- tunica intima
- endothelium
Venule has these layers
- tunica externa
- endothelium
Veins vs arteries vs capillaries
veins: thin walls, one way valves
Arteries: lack valves, ticker wall
Capillaries: single layer of cells
2 varieties of capillaries
- Continuos capillary: continuous wall
- Fenestrated capillary: porous wall
