Organ and Energy Systems Flashcards
Lung/Breathing System
Respiratory / Pulmonary Ventilation
Heart/Blood System
Cardiovascular System / Circulatory system
Process of Pulmonary Ventilation (Top to Bottom / Big to Small)
Nasal/Oral cavity , Trachea , Bronchi , Bronchioles , Alveoli , Capillary
Breathing In
Inspiration
Breathing Out
Expiration
Inspiration Process
Diaphragm contracts to flatten downwards
+ External Intercostals contract forward and lateral
(Lift sternum and create chest space)
Lung volume increase so air moves in to balance concentration
Normal Expiration Process
Elastic recoil of Lung tissue, muscles relax
Diaphragm domes upwards
External intercostals in so sternum down
Intrathoracic volume decrease so air pushed out
Exercise Expiration Process
More muscles involved, more active process
Adbominals contract (inwards)
Internal intercostals contract (ribs inwards)
Stronger, faster pressure reduction so air pushed out
Cardiac Volume Formula
Stroke volume (blood from 1 contraction) x HR (beats per min)
Right side circulation
Pulmonary circulation
Left side circulation
Systemic circulation
Process of the cardiovascular system in the heart
Body - vena cava - r. atrium - r. ventricle - pulmonary artery - lungs (Right side)
Lungs - pulmonary vein - l. atrium - l. ventricle - aorta - body (Left side)
Process of circulation in the body
Heart - aorta - arteries - arterioles - capillaries - venules - veins - vena cava - heart
Diastolic Phase
Blood into ventricles
60-80mm Hg
Systolic Phase
Blood to body/lungs
120mm Hg
