Quiz - Cardio Flashcards
Why/how does the venous blood move in the body?
Venous Pump
Who controls the local vasomotor reflexes
Autonomous in the that place, not controlled by the brain
Carotid barroreflexor detects low blood pressure, is the response sympathetic
Sympathetic, you want to contract
Acidotic leads to?
Tachycardia – pump more blood through lungs to expel more CO2
What kind of feedback received by the body when you have excited emotions?
Emotions is cortex, brain, not automatic
What is the cardiac output?
- Def: amount of blood pushed out per unit of time
- Stroke volume – frequency (heartrate)
Definition of Murmur
- Cardiac murmur is the sound produced by the rush of blood around a heart abnormality (intracardiac irregularity)
- Could be a bunch of different branches
What happens during isovolumetric ventricular contractions?
Volume stays the same, but the pressure is increasing because of contractions in the ventricles (the valves haven’t opened yet)
What is the QRS
Ventricles depolarization
Ventricular repolarization is which part of the ECG wave?
T waves
Duration of QRS?
Under O.1
QRS’s structure is?
It’s a spike, ventricles depolarizing and atriums polarizing
Hepatic portal system?
- Is the gastrointestinal areas (spletnik area) veins going through the liver before going to the inferior vena cava
- The liver does not ‘filter’, it detoxifies and metabolizes the stuff in the blood
Name of the artery where we normally check for a pulse?
Radial
Left common iliac artery is a branch of the?
Abdominal aorta
Hypoxia triggers vasodilation into the lungs. True or False?
False, it vasoconstricts – therefore, pulmonary hypertension
Endothelium covers the valves in the veins. True or False?
True, it covers everything in the vessels and heart
Diastolic pressure gives necessary push for the blood to return to the right side of the heart. True or False?
False, there is no pressure in the venous system
Perkinje Fibers intervate (electrify) the valves. T/F?
False, the valves are not electrified, they are passive, not mechanical flaps
Who innervates the myofibers of the atria?
Interatrial fibers, interatrial bundle
