Overview of the CV system Oct31 M1 Flashcards
homeostasis def
process of maintaining constancy of our internal environment (pH, Temp, O2, etc.)
three compartements making up the total body water (TBW)
IC, EC interstitial, EC plasma
TBW % and vol
45L 60%
IC fluid % and vol
30L, 67% of TBW
EC fluid% and vol
15L, 33% of TBW
Interstitial fluid % of TBW and vol
12L, 80% of EC fluid
Plasma % of EC and vol
3L, 20% of EC fluid
pulmonary circulation compartments
right heart pum + lungs
systemic circulation compartments
left heart pump + systemic organs
pulm circulation is in ___ with systemic circ
series
organs of the systemic circulation are in ________ with each other
parallel
exception to systemic organs being in parallel
GI tract and liver are in series (but liver still receives fresh blood)
Blood conditioning organs def + 3 ex.
Receive blood in excess to maintain basal metabolic needs (lungs, kidneys, skin)
organs that are not conditionning, examples
heart, brain, skeletal muscle
relationship between P, flow and R
P = flow * R
Formula for resistance
R=(8viscL)div. (Pi*R4)
how can adapt flow equation to understand how it changes with diff parameters
In flow = P div. R, replace R by its formula.
blood pathway in right heart and pulm arteries
IVC or SVC, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulm valve, pulm arteries
blood pathway in pulm veins and left heart
pulm veins, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta
how many pulm arteries and veins
2 pulm arteries
4 pulm veins
cardiac output def
Amount of blood pumper per minute from each ventricle
CO: 2 determinants
Heart rate and stroke volume
pacemaker in the heart
sinoatrial node
3 structures the AP in the heart gets through (start to end)
sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, Purkinje fibers
