  • Thoracic aorta, femoral, and popliteal arteries
  • Internal carotid arteries
  • Vertebral, basilar, middle cerebral arteries
135
Q

What are four lipoproteins?

A
  • Lipids
  • Phospolipids
  • Cholesterol
  • Triglycerides
136
Q

The liver packages cholesterol with triglycerides (fat) and sends them into the bloodstream as what?

A

Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDLs)

137
Q

As VLDLs travel through the bloodstream, they are broken down into triglycerides (fat) and cholesterol-rich what?

A

Low-density Lipoproteins

138
Q

What organ regulates the body’s production of cholesterol?

A

Liver

139
Q

What do high LDL levels cause?

A

An excess of cholesterol to be delivered to cells

140
Q

What happens to cholesterol not used by the cells?

A

They spill out and collect on artery walls

141
Q

What do high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) do?

A

Seek out excess cholesterol, reducing the amount available for builup on artery walls.

They then bring the cholesterol back to the liver where it is converted into bile acids for elimination or recycling.

142
Q

High levels of what can help reverse heart disease?

A

HDL

143
Q

What are five functions of HDL?

A
  • Bring excess cholesterol back to liver
  • Inhibit smooth muscle proliferation
  • Stimulate endothelial repai
  • Stimulate vasodilator prostaglandins
  • Facilitate fibrinolysis
144
Q

What is a thrombus?

A

Blood clot attached to vessel wall

145
Q

What is an embolism?

A

Obstruction of vessel by embolus (circulation bolus of matter)

146
Q

What is a thromboembolism?

A

Vascular obstruction by dislodged thrombus

147
Q

What are the three stages of hypertension?

A
  • Mild
  • Moderate
  • Severe
148
Q

What are four causes of secondary hypertension?

A
  • Renal artery stenosis
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Coarctation of the aorta
  • Pheochromocytoma
149
Q

In 2007, how many cases of heart failure were there in the US?

A

about 5 million

150
Q

What is systolic failure of the heart?

A

Decrease in myocardial contractility, impaired ability to ject blood from ventricle

=

low ejection fraction (EF)

(percentage different than amount)

151
Q

What is diastolic failure?

A

Abnormality in ventricular relaxation and filling

=

normal EF (ejection fraction)

(decrease stroke volume and cardiac output)

152
Q

What can left heart failure cause?

A

Pulmonary edema / orthopnea

153
Q

What can right heart failure cause?

A
  • Congestion of peripheral tissues
  • Edema / Ascites / Liver congestion
154
Q

In circulatory shock, where is the ultimate effect?

A

At the cellular level

155
Q

What compensatory mechanisms, due to circulatory shock, can have a detrimental effect over a long term?

A
  • Vasoconstriciton
  • Decreased Oxygen
156
Q

A long term of vasoconstriction can equal what?

A

Decreased tissue perfusion

157
Q

A long term of decreased oxygen can lead to what?

A

Cellular metabolism impaired

↓

Excessive lactic acid and free radical formation

↓

Increased acidity

↓

Cell dysfunction or death

158
Q

What does cardiogenic shock lead to?

A

Myocardial infarction (MI)

159
Q

Tachycardia, weak, thready pulse

161
Q

Fill in the blank:

Sympathetic nervous system activated

↓

Intense vasoconstriction (only heart and brain spared)

↓

______________________

162
Q

Fill in the blank:

Hypothalamus activated (by decrease in pH and decrease in blood volume)

↓

_________

A

Thirst

163
Q

Fill in the blank:

Neurons depress by decrease in pH

↓

___________________

164
Q

Fill in the blank:

Hypothalamus activated (by decrease in pH and decrease in blood volume)

↓

ADH released which targets kidneys

↓

Water retention

↓

______________

A

decrease in urine output

165
Q

What two hormones lead to a decrease in urine output?

A

Aldesterone (from Adrenal Cortex) –> Kidneys retain salt and water

ADH (targets kidney) –> Water retention

166
Q

What three things lead to blood pessure being maintained?

A
  • Systemic nervous system being activated
  • Intense vasoconstriction (only heart and brain spared)
  • Increased blood volume
