Test 1: Wk1: 1 Hemodynamics - Puri Flashcards
Systemic circulation
Oxygenated blood flows from the left heart into
the systemic circulation and, after passing through the capillary bed, flows back in
a deoxygenated state to the right atrium of the heart to restart the process.
Systemic circulation Flow
Left atrium → mitral valve → left ventricle → aortic valve
→ aorta→ arteries → arterioles → capillary beds → veins → superior vena
cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC) → right atrium
Pulmonary Circulation
Deoxygenated blood in the right heart flows into
the lungs, where it is oxygenated and returned to the left atrium.
Pulmonary Circulation Flow
Right atrium → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonary valve
→ pulmonary trunk → pulmonary arteries → lungs → four pulmonary
veins → left atrium
Flow of Blood Through the Heart
Inf and Sup Vena Cava > RA > Tricuspid Valve > RV > Pulmonary Valve > Pulmonary Artery > Lungs Capillary Bed > Pulmonary Veins > LA > Mitral Valve > LV > Aortic Valve > Aorta > Systemic Arteries > Systemic Capillary Beds > Systemic Veins > Vena Cava
cyanosis
bluish red discoloration of skin and mucosa
due to
deoxygenated blood circulating in the systemic circulation capillaries (usually seen
when oxygen saturation of hemoglobin drops below 85%)
As the pressure in the ventricles starts to --- during systole, it exceeds the pressure in the atria, which closes the ---- and the ---- valve. Closure of the valves causes turbulence that makes a sound–S1—the first heart sound is heard—“lub
As the pressure in the ventricles starts to rise during systole, it exceeds the pressure in the atria, which closes the mitral and the tricuspid valve. Closure of the valves causes turbulence that makes a sound–S1—the first heart sound is heard—“lub
S2 heart sound
closing of aortic and pulmonary valves
Flowing blood is key to homeostasis across organ-systems and to ensure: (4)
- Nutrient delivery & waste disposal
- Chemical signaling (think hormones)
- Thermoregulation (heat exchange in the skin)
- Defense mechanisms (innate and adaptive immunity travel to the site of injury
via the circulation)
rheumatic heart disease
the mitral valve is stenosed
valve opening is not supposed to make a sound, but
a stenosed valve opens with an audible snap→ the snap is after S2 and before S1
In atrial septal defect
blood flows from the left to the right atria during
diastole i.e. some volume of blood “bypasses” the LV and thus, LV output is NOT
equal to RV output.
— is the first step in restoring adequacy of circulation in the ER.
fluid infusion
distributive shock
all vascular beds dilate at the same time. This drops the
pressure in the system leading to severe under-perfusion of key organs
Pressure difference (ΔP)
required to generate flow, which is facilitated by
one-way valves—i.e. pressure upstream MUST be higher than pressure
downstream
what is the only purpose of the CV system
generating blood flow
where is pressure highest in circualtion
large arteries
blood reservoirs
veins
