Physiology- heart, lungs & physics Flashcards
Bl from the UE enters the heart through the ___
Bl from the LE enters the heart through the ____
What is an exception?
UE: SVC
LE: IVC
Exception: azygous V. drains the Lumbar –> into the SVC
During which portion of an EKG can the AV Nodal delay be seen?
PR interval
What are the only 2 art. that carry de-O2 bl
pulm art.
and umbilical art. of a fetus
bl is Oxygenated by what physics law?
Bohr effect:
a decrease in blood pH which leads to an increase in blood CO2 concentration will result in hemoglobin proteins releasing their load of oxygen.
Bl exists the lungs via the ___ into the ___
exits by the Pulm. V into the L atrium
What 2 veins carry O2 bl
Pulm. V and the umbilical V in a fetus
What is going on during:
- P-wave
- PR interval
- QRS
- T wave
- U wave
- ST segment
- P-wave: atrial depolarization
- PR interval : Isovolumetric contraction
- QRS: Ventricular depolarization (covers the Atrial repolarization
- T wave: Ventricular repolarzation
- U wave: papillary M repolarization
- ST segment Isovolumetric relaxation
Location of the moderator Band
septomarginal recess of R. ventricle
2 structures that cause the Purkinje system to be faster than other neurons in the heart
- intercalated disc
- gap junctions
(cardiac fibers are interconnected by intercalated discs : form gap jxn)
What will be seen on an EKG during an MI
inverted T wave or altered ST segment
_____ channels allow for long absolute refactory periods which prevents heart tetany
slow Ca+ channels
cause a plateau in the AP
cc: __________: elongation of PR wave (isovolumetric contraction) till a second atrial depolarization occurs
Winkbocks phenomena
MCC and 2nd MCC of CHF
1st: HT
2nd: Aortic stenosis
Steps of CHF 1st: 2nd: 3rd: 4th:
1st: Ventricular hypertrophy
2nd: pulm edema = exertional dyspnea
3rd: R. side heart failure
4th: legs
Exertional Dyspnea: ____
CHF bl. backs up from the L. atrium into the lungs via pulm art
Isolated R. sided heart failure:__________
cor pulmonale –> result of a lung condition such as emphysema
(MCC of R. sided : L. sided heart failure )
cause of Varicolcele “bag of worms”
artery effected:
cause: CHF
IVC–> common illiac –> INTERNAL ILIAC
What arteries are effected if there is pitting edema on the medial side of the foot?
What arteries are effected if there is pitting edema on the lateral side of the leg?
Medial ft: Great saphenous V
Lateral side of leg: popliteal –> lesser saphenous
What is the tell tale sign of early CHF vs. late CHF
Early: exertional dyspnea
later: pitting edema
5 signs of alcoholism having its effects on the liver?
- Liver failure
- Esophageal varices –> hematemesis
- Mallory Weiss sx
- Mallory bodies
- Wernicke- korsakoff psychosis
What vit. is usually deficient in alcoholics
B1 (thiame) –> Beriberi
cc: _______sx: bl. mucosa at the jxn of the esophagus and stomach of an alcoholic
Mallory Weiss sx
Name the 4 heart sounds
1st: Av Valve closing during isometric contraction (PR seg)
2nd: semilunar valves close
3rd: ventricular filling, Normal in children. Abnormal in adults
4. Heard during diastole. Normal in athletes, abn. in adults
bl ph: ___-___
7.35- 7.45
CN ___+___ are the Afferent and efferent N’s to the carotid sinus
CN 9 & 10
4 s/s of tetrology of fallot (DRIP)
D: dextroposition of aorta –> off R. ventricle
R: R. ventricle hyppertrophy
I: Interventricular spetal defect
P: Pulmonary stenosis
Aschoff bodies are seen after a ___ fever
caused by ____ bact
Rheumatic fever
caused: strep pyogenes
3 bact’s that can cause destruction to heart valves
- strep pyogenes (aschoff bodies)
- Group A Lancefield
- B- hemolytic strep
MC benign tumor of the heart
myxoma
(LOP)__________: anterior spinal roots are motor, posterior are sensory
Bell Magende
