Packet 7 - Circulatory System (2) Flashcards
The ventricles pump blood out of the heart. The left ventricle maintains ________ (perfuses all other body tissues).
a. ) pulmonary circulation
b. ) systemic circulation
Left Ventricle → Systemic Circulation
Perfuses all other body tissues
The ventricles pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle maintains ________ (moves blood through the lungs so it becomes oxygenated).
a. ) pulmonary circulation
b. ) systemic circulation
Right Ventricle → Pulmonary Circulation
Moves blood through the lungs so it becomes oxygenated
R / L Heart Failure & Forward / Backward effect:
Pulmonary edema
Left Heart Failure
Forward Effects of Left H.F.
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Poor activity tolerance (muscles aren’t getting enough oxygenated blood)
- Sympathetic stimulation kicks in to increase cardiac output.
- Diaphoresis
- Cardiogenic shock
- If cardiac output drop is very severe (past heart failure), you go into cardiogenic shock (perfusion cannot occur causing major organs to fail).
Backward Effects of Left H.F.
- Blood backs up in the lungs
- Pulmonary edema (fluid in alveoli)
- No surface area available for oxygenation
- Hypoxia due to pulmonary edema
- Hear crackles
- Wet sounding cough
- Orthopnea (trouble breathing when you lie down because gravity is not preventing massive amounts of blood returning to the heart)
R / L Heart Failure & Forward / Backward effect:
Blood backs up in venous system.
Right Heart Failure
Forward Effects of Right H.F.
- Hypoxia due to blood not pumping to lungs and getting oxygenated.
- Blood backs up in venous system.
- Distended neck veins (supposed to be flat).
Backward Effects of Right H.F.
- Peripheral edema / Dependant edema
- Below the level of the heart
- Usually legs
- Working against gravity
- Abdominal organs become congested/enlarged.
- Spleen becomes enlarged, liver becomes enlarged (hepatomegaly), GI tract becomes enlarged
- Ascites (fluid leaks out of veins into peritoneal space).
- Increased weight (weight gain)
