Test 3 Study Guide Flashcards
Functions of circulatory system?
Transportation
Regulation
Transportation o Respiratory Erythrocytes transport oxygen o Nutritive Absorbed products of digestion transported to liver and other body parts o Excretory Metabolic waste, excess ions, and water excreted by the kidneys Regulation o Hormonal Carry hormones to target tissues o Temperature o Protection Blood clotting o Immune Leukocytes, complement, and cytokines act against pathogens
- Whats the normal rate per minute of the heart?
a. Normal HR 60-100 BPM
b. Bradycardia = 100 BPM
a. Step 1: Ventricular Isovolumetric Contraction
i. QRS just occurred = ventricular depolarization
ii. Both AV and semilunar closed
1. Ventricle contracts (Ventricle P > atrial P) AV valves close S1 sound
2. (Ventricle P
b. Step 2: Ejection
i. Initial, rapid ejection of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta and the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery
ii. AV closed semilunar open
1. Ventricle P > aortic P Semilunar valves open
2. No sound produced; sound = abnormal function
iii. SV = volume of blood ejected
c. Step 3: Reduced Ejection – T wave occurs
i. Ventricular P
d. Step 4: Isovolumetric Relaxation
i. All valves closed; semilunar close due to backflow (S2 heart sound), AV remain closed
1. Valves close as ventricles relax
ii. Pressure declines in ventricles
iii. ESV = blood in ventricle
e. Step 5: Rapid Filling of Ventricles
i. Ventricular P
f. Step 6: Reduced Filling - Atrial Systole
i. P wave occurs: depolarization of atria
ii. Atrial contraction squeezes 10-30% more blood into ventricles
1. 90% of blood is already passively filled
iii. AV open and semilunar closed
g. P wave
i. Depolarization of atria
h. PR interval
time between atrial and ventricular depolarization
i. QRS
i. Ventricular Depolarization
ii. Causes S1 sound
j. T wave
i. Ventricular repolarization (relaxation)
Pressure falls below aortic
ii. Causes S2 sound
k. ST Segment
i. End of S beginning of T
ii. Period between ventricular depolarization and repolarization
When do aortic and pulmonary valves open as related to the EKG and heart sounds? AV valves?
S1 occurs immediately after the QRS
AV valves close when ventricles contract
S2 occurs during the T wave
Pulmonary and aortic close when ventricles relax and cause backflow
a. Preload
i. Heart loading up for next big squeeze of ventricles
ii. Amount of ventricular stretch after diastole
iii. Ventricular end diastolic pressure
iv. EDV directly proportional with SV and contractility
b. Afterload
i. Pressure the heart must overcome to push blood out of the aortic valve into systemic circulation
ii. Known as TPR – Total Peripheral Resistance
iii. SV inversely proportional to TPR
Components of blood?
lipid
formed elements
plasma
a. Lipid portion: Mainly fatty acids and cholesterol in vesicles
b. Formed elements = cellular components
i. RBC, WBC, platelets
c. Plasma = water, dissolved solutes, and proteins, Na = major ion
e. WBC – Leukocytes 5-9,000/mL
i. Leukocytosis = elevated WBC count
ii. Leukopenia = Low WBC count
iii. Have nuclei and mitochondria; move like ameoboids
iv. Granulocytes – show up with staining; digestion of endocytosis particles
1. Neutrophils (50-70%)
2. Basophils
3. Eosinophils
v. Agranulocytes
1. Lymphocytes
2. Monocytes
d. RBC – Erythrocytes 5 million/mL
i. Polycythemia = elevated RBC count
ii. Anemia = low RBC count
iii. No nuclei or mitochondria
Each contains 280 million hemoglobin, with 4 heme chains
Removed by phagocytic cells in liver, spleen, and bone marrow
Leukocytes, granulocytes?
Help detoxify foreign substances, release heparin
- Neutrophils (50-70%)
- Basophils
- Eosinophils
Leukocytes, agranulocytes?
Phagocytic; produce antibodies
- Lymphocytes
- Monocytes
- What’s the buffycoat?
a. Little middle section of centrifuge
b. Contains Leukocytes and platelets
- Serum vs plasma difference?
a. Serum is the part of blood after fibrinogen has been removed. Fluid from clotted blood.
i. Liquid part of plasma after blood has been allowed to clot
- What is the conducting system of the heart?
a. SA Node
i. Pacemaker; stimulates atrial contraction
ii. P wave
b. AV Node
i. Provides delay between atrial and ventricular contraction
c. Bundle of his bundle branches purkinje fibers
i. Stimulate individual groups of myocardial cells to contract
ii. QRS complex generated
