Quiz 3 Flashcards
Flow is governed by…
Pressure and resistance
Pressure
Moves fluid
Resistance
Opposes movement
By pulling back a syringe…
We increase the volume and decrease the pressure
The pressure outside the syringe is greater than the inside, so air moves in
By pushing on a syringe…
We decrease the volume and increase the pressure
The pressure outside the syringe is less than the inside, so air moves out
Heart Sounds
S1 and S2
S1
Closure of the AV valves
“Lub”
S2
Closure of the semilunar valves
“Dub”
Valvular Regurgitation
A condition in which blood leaks in the wrong direction because one or more heart valves closes improperly
Mitral valve prolapse is a common cause
Events of Ventricular Systole
Ventricular contraction Atrial relaxation (filling)
Events of Ventricular Diastole
Ventricular relaxation (filling) Atrial diastole continues throughout most of diastole Atrial systole (ejection into ventricles) occurs near the end of diastole
End Diastolic Volume
Volume in each ventricle at the end of diastole (120-130mL)
End Systolic Volume
Volume remaining after systole (50-60mL)
Stroke Volume
Volume ejected per beat (EDV-ESV)
Ejection Fraction
Blood at beginning of systole ejected during systole
(EF=SV/EDV)
Lower EF indicated you are not pumping as much blood per beat, so therefore not as much blood to tissues
Ventricular Diastole (Passive Filling)
30mL
Atrial Systole
40mL
Stroke Volume
-70mL
EF
0.53mL
Necessity of Balanced Ventricular Output
- Right ventricular output exceeds left ventricular output
- Pressure backs up
- Fluid accumulates in pulmonary tissues
- Left ventricular output exceeds right ventricular output
- Pressure backs up
- Fluid accumulates in systemic tissue
