Q

The lungs can clear up after about

A

15 years of non-smoking.

42
Q

Humans can take between

A

4 and 10 million breathes a year.

43
Q

02 moves from oxygen-rich blood through interstitial fluid and into cells because

A

of pressure gradient.

44
Q

Oxygen is not very

A

soluble in water

45
Q

Most animals transport 02 bound

A

to respiratory

46
Q

Almost all vertebrates transport 02 on hemoglobin which contains

A

iron and turns red when bound with 02.

47
Q

Each red blood cell contains about 250 million

A

molecules of hemoglobin

48
Q

2 types of circulatory systems

A

have evolved in animals

49
Q

As aquatic organisms moved onto land

A

they had to change their breathing structures from gills to lungs.

50
Q

Blood pressure drops in gill capillaries

A

so the movement of aquatic organisms helps blood flow.

51
Q

A single circuit like a fish cardiovascular system does not have enough power to pump through the lungs

A

and rest of the body of a land animal.

52
Q

The heart separately and simultaneously pumps oxygen- poor blood

A

to the lungs and oxygen-rich blood to the body.

53
Q

Contraction pumps out and

A

relaxation takes in blood.

54
Q

Left ventricle and right ventricle pump the same volume but

A

the left pumps harder to supply the systemic circuit.

55
Q

The average heart pumps 70 ML

A

per beat.

56
Q

The average heart beat is

A

72bpm

57
Q

Age, fitness, and other factors

A

may affect cardiac output

58
Q

Heavy exercise may cause cardiac output

A

to increase by 5x

59
Q

A resting athlete’s heart may produce stronger contractions and deliver more blood per beat.

A

than a normal person

60
Q

Resting heart rate may be 40 bpm

A

but still supply 5L/m.

61
Q

Lub comes from recoil of blood against

A

AV valves

62
Q

Dup comes from recoil against

A

SL valves

63
Q

Cardiac muscle cells have their own beat and

A

are not controlled by the nervous system.

64
Q

During heart attacks

A

the heart fails to beat at a normal rhythm

65
Q

Hormones may increase

A

heart rate as well.

66
Q

Epinephrine is the “fight

A

or flight” hormone

67
Q

Like any other cells, muscle cells require

A

nutrients and oxygenated blood

68
Q

The heart beats more than

A

100000 beats per day.

69
Q

U.S death rate from cardiovascular disease

A

has been cut in half since the 1950s.

70
Q

Arteries, arterioles, veins, and venules have thicker walls than

A

capillaries, less diffusion.

71
Q

Pressure is the force pushing

A

against gravity walls.

72
Q

Typical healthy pressure is

A

120/70

73
Q

Optimal adult pressure is below 120 mmHg systolic

A

below 80 mmHg for diastolic.

74
Q

Over 1/3 of the U.S

A

has hyper tension.

75
Q

Hypertension is called the silent killer

A

because it shows no symptom.

76
Q

The heart must work harder when there is

A

hyper tension

77
Q

The left ventricle can in large due to

A

hyper tension

78
Q

Prolonged hypertension leads to heart disease, attack, stroke, kidney failure

A

and renal artery disease

79
Q

Blood pressure usually

A

increases with age

80
Q

Sphincters regulate blood

A

flow to areas in need

81
Q

Exercise increases

A

demand in muscle increases

82
Q

Digestion increases demand

A

near the gut increases

83
Q

Injured vessels heal

A

themselves

84
Q

After injury the damaged vessel constricts

A

until blockage is in place

97
Q

Step 13

A

98
Q

What is negative pressure breathing

A

When you inhale your diaphragm and muscles contract and it decrease pressure or negative pressure that draws air into your lungs

99
Q

What are the 4 treatments

A

Angioplasty, Pacemaker, and a stent placement, and bypass surgery

100
Q

How to measure blood pressure with a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer

A

You tighten the sphygmomanometer and get the blood pressure when tightened and then loosen it and use a stethoscope to listen for the pulse.
