Quiz 1 (Anatomy) Flashcards
Christian Doppler was an Austrian ______
physicist
when did Doppler invent radar Doppler?
1842
what is the doppler effect?
frequency of light and sound waves were affected by the relative motion of the source and the detector
what is peripheral vascularity?
arms and legs
what is cerebral vascularity?
head and neck
the history of doppler ultrasound is considered in terms of?
- basic developments

- impact on medical practice
what has doppler ultrasound provided clinical applications in?
- waveform analysis
- localizing blood flow
- 2D gray scale mapping of blood vessels
what are 2 important applications of Doppler?
- detection and grading of atherosclerotic plaques in the internal carotid artery
- the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis
why is doppler ultrasound preferred?
- non-invasive
- inexpensive
- easily accessible
what are gold standards instead of ultrasound?
- angiography (MRA/CTA)
- venography and arteriography
where is the heart located?
- middle mediastinum
- 3&4 intercostal space
- within pericardial sac
- 10-20 mL of serous fluid lubricated the heart
where is the apex of the heart?
left ventricle
what is the superior border of the heart?
atria chambers
what are the upper 2 chambers responsible for?
collecting (atria)
what are the lower 2 chambers responsible for?
pumping (ventricles)
how many 1 way valves are there?
4
what is the function of a 1 way valve?
maintains uniform direction of blood flow
what are the 2 atrioventricular valves?
Rt-tricuspid (3)
Lt-mitral valve (2)
what are the 2 semilunar valves?
- aortic
- pulmonic
how many leaflets do SL valves have?
3
where are the SL valves located?
between ventricles and great vessels
where are the papillary muscles located?
ventricles of the heart
-attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid)
why does the chordae tendineae contract?
prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves
what are chordae tendineae?
cord-like tendons
where do chordae tendineae connect?
connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart
what is the thick muscular tissue of the heart?
myocardium
where is the myocardium the thickest?
left ventricle
is the myocardium striated or not?
striated
is the myocardium involuntary or voluntary?
involuntary
which layer is the myocardium?
middle layer
what does the myocardium do?
contract to push OUT blood
which layer is the endocardium?
inner layer
which layer is the pericardium?
connective tissue around the heart
what are the functions of the circulatory system?
- carry digested food
- carry oxygen
- aid in disposal of wastes
- distribute heat
- white blood cells help fight off infection
when blood enters the right atrium which valve is closed?
tricuspid valve
when does the right ventricle contract?
when it pumps blood through the pulmonary valve
what valve is closed when blood enters the left atrium?
mitral valve
how often does the blood pump through the heart?
60-80 times per minute
what are the 3 categories that vessels can be classified into?
- conducting
- distributing and collecting
- functioning
what makes up the conducting vessels?
- aorta
- IVC
- common iliac arteries and veins
- SVC
what are conducting vessels?
elastic arteries on the arterial side and great veins on venous side
what is the function of conducting vessels?
conducting oxygenated, nutrient rich blood out of the heart and deoxygenated blood and waste products back into the heart
what happens to distributing and collecting vessels as they course distally?
become more muscular and less elastic
what do collecting veins contain?
valves to prevent backflow of blood
distributing and collecting vessels change their task to distributing blood to and collecting blood from the tissues in ______________
varying states of oxygen and nutrient saturation
what can muscular walls of the distributing arteries do?
able to vary in caliber to control the blood supply to the area or organ that they supply
what are the functioning vessels?
capillaries
what happens in the capillaries?
blood gives up its nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and receives the waste product and carbon dioxide from the tissues
circulatory system is complex in both____________
structure and function
what is blood flow influenced by?
- cardiac function
- elasticity of walls
- tone of smooth muscle
- millions of branching vessels
what are the 3 layers of a vessel?
- tunica interna
- tunica media
- tunica externa/adventisa
how does cardiovascular disease affect the body?
- keeps blood from circulating nutrients and disposing of waste
- causes narrowing or hardening of the arteries
- affects the function of the heart itself
- the oxygenation process is affected as the capillaries may not get sufficient blood
what is the most common heart complication?
heart failure
heart failure
heart can no longer function properly
heart attack
clot in coronary artery blocks flow-damaging or destroying heart muscle
stroke
caused by the brain not getting enough blood-brain tissue dies
aneurysm
bulge in artery wall anywhere in the body-if it ruptures-internal bleeding or clot dislodges and blocks an artery
peripheral artery disease
extremity muscles are not getting enough oxygen to preform during exercise (leg pain when walking)
cardiac arrest
sudden loss of function in heart, breathing, and consciousness
BLOOD STOPS FLOWING
what are the symptoms of cardiovascular disease?
-chest pain
-shortness of breath
-fainting
CALL 911

abnormal heart beats
cardiomyopathy
heart muscle disease
what can happen with an damaged heart valve?
- stenosis
- regurgitation
- infection
what does infection of a heart valve do and cause?
affects valves and muscles and causes endocarditis and myocarditis
atherosclerosis
hardening of arteries
-build up of plaque
build up of plaque
