Q

What does it mean that organs run in a parallel circuit?

A

Q

What are the advantages of parallel circuits?

A

We can shut blood off to certain organs and redirect it to where it is needed.

Organs receive blood of the same composition and can return waste products to the venous side. Total resistance is reduced in the heart.

Q

What is the difference between systole and diastole?

A

Systole involves contraction of the muscle and ejection of blood, while diastole involves relaxing of the muscle and filling with blood

Q

A
20
Q

What is end diastolic volume?

A

Blood has filled the ventricle and contraction is about to start; this is as big as the ventricle will be, and the volume of the ventricle is the EDV

21
Q

What is end systolic volume?

A

Blood has left the ventricle, contraction has occurred, and relaxation is about to begin again; this is as small as the ventricle will be and the volume of the ventricle is the ESV

22
Q

Do the right and left ventricles have the same contraction pattern?

A

No

23
Q

A normal heart weight between __ and __ grams?

A

200-425

24
Q

On X-ray, cardiac silhouette is about __% of the thoracic cavity?

A

50%

25
Q

What acts as the intrinsic pacemaker of the heart?

A

SA node

26
Q

What equation do we use to measure pump performance?

A

CO = SV x HR

27
Q

What is stroke volume?

A

Volume of blood ejected from a ventricle in one beat

28
Q

What is cardiac output?

A

The volume of blood ejected from a ventricle over one minute

29
Q

Describe the relationship between SV and CO in the left and right heart.

A

They must be the same over time

30
Q

What is a normal cardiac index?

A

2.5-4 L/min/m2

31
Q

What is ejection fraction?

A

The percentage of blood ejected with every beat; measured by SV/EDV

32
Q

What is the Fick technique?

A

A method of measuring cardiac output that requires sampling of arterial and venous blood as well as a measurement of oxygen consumption

33
Q

What is the Fick equation?

A

Q = VO2/ (CaO2 – CvO2)

34
Q

What is a Swan-Ganz catheter?

A

A balloon catheter that can find wedge pressure, can sample venous blood

35
Q

When is the ventricle largest? When is it smallest?

A

EDV; ESV

36
Q

When is the atrium largest? When is it smallest?

A

ESV; EDV

37
Q

How is distribution of cardiac output per organ determined?

A

It is dependent on metabolic needs, which can change by condition. It is regulated by the ANS

38
Q

What are the two circulations received by the lungs?

A

Pulmonary (right) and bronchial (left)

39
Q

Describe the basic functioning of the aorta and pulmonary artery.

A

They receive a systolic bolus and recoil upon valves closing to propel the blood. This allows continuous flow to the tissues

40
Q

What is compliance in terms of arteries?

A

Energy of pulse is stored and released into the system to allow for continuous flow. If vessels were noncompliant, flow would be intermittent

41
Q

How do we calculate mean arterial pressure?

A

MAP = (SBP + (2DBP))/3

42
Q

What is considered the ‘driving pressure’?

A

MAP

43
Q

How do we calculate flow in vessels?

A

F(Q) = (change in pressure)/(radius)

44
Q

How do we calculate total peripheral resistance?

A

SVR = (MAP-RAP)/CO x 80

45
Q

How do we calculate pulmonary vascular resistance?

A

PVR = (PApressure-LAP)/CO x 80

46
Q

What is Poiseuille’s law?

A

R = 8nL/(πr^4) where n is blood viscosity, L is length of the vessel, and r is the radius of the vessel
