makeup concepts/ neurocardio exam Flashcards
Where are the semilunar valves in the heart?
Aortic and pulmonary
What does the right marginal branch supply?
It supplies the right border of the heart.
What branch off of the left main coronary artery supplies oxygenated blood to the back and side of the heart left ventricle and left atrium?
The circumflex branch
What does the left marginal branch supply?
it supplies the left border of the heart.
What are the four phases of the cardiac cycle?
- Mid-late ventricular diastole. 2. Isovolumetric contraction. 3. Mid late ventricular sytole. 4. Isovolumetric relaxation.
What happens in the heart during mid-late ventricular diastole?
The ventricles are passively filling with blood.
Atrial pressure> ventricular pressure.
Arterial pressure > ventricular pressure.
The tricuspid and mitral valves are open.
The pulmonary and aortic valves are closed
This represents the P wave on EKG
What happens during Isovolumetric contraction?
The ventricles are no longer filling with blood.
Ventricular pressure> atrial pressure.
Arterial pressure> Ventricular pressure.
The tricuspid and mitral valve close, “lub”.
The aortic and pulmonary valves are closed.
This represents QRS wave on EKG.
What happens during mid-late ventricular systole?
The ventricles contract and blood is flowing to the aorta and pulmonary arteries
Ventricular pressure> atrial pressure
Ventricular pressure> arterial pressure.
The tricuspid and mitral valves are closed.
The pulmonary and aortic valves are open.
This represents the QRS wave on EKG.
What happens during isovolumtric relaxation?
No blood is entering or leaving the ventricles.
Ventricular pressure> atrial pressure
Arterial pressure> ventricular pressure.
Tricuspid valve and mitral valve are closed.
Aortic and pulmonary valve are closed, “dub”.
This represents the T wave on EKG.
If a patient was experiencing atrial fibrillation, what would you expect the P wave to show?
The P wave would no longer be visible because the SA node is not functioning properly.
What is ventricular ejection?
This is when enough pressure in the ventricles build up more pressure than the aortic and pulmonary pressure.
What is aortic stenosis?
Aortic stenosis is when the aortic valve narrows. This puts pressure on the left ventricle causing it to thicken.
What side of the heart is thicker?
The left ventricle is thicker because it is responsible for sending blood to the body.
CN I
Olfactory: smell
CN II
Optic: vision
CN III
Oculomotor: opening of eyes, lifting eyebrows, adjusting pupil width
CN IV
Trochlear: looking down and moving eyes towards or away from the nose.
CN VII
Facial: Controlling of muscles to move the face
CN V
Trigeminal: Movement and sensation of the face
CN VIII
Vestibulococler: hearing and balance
