TEST REVIEW Flashcards
What is the determining factor determining how much blood is pumped from heart?
Amt. of blood returned to heart is amt. pumped out.
Frank-starling law
What the heart gets the heart pumps out.
Stretching the heart causes:
The heart to pump faster
Factors directly affect CO: (4)
Basic level of body metabolism.
Exercising.
Age.
Size of body.
Normal CO:
Young healthy men: 5.6l//min
~5L/min
Figure 20-5
Hypereeffective vs. hypoeffective CO curves
Focus: cause hypo/hyper heart
Factors that decrease CO:
Severe blood vessel blockage
Myocarditis
Valvular Dz
Cardiac tamponade
Cardiac metabolic derangement
Noncardiac factrs reducing CO;’
Decreased volume.
Acute venous dilation
Obstruction of large veins
Factors that affect venous return to the heart from systemic circulation:
R atrial pressure-
venous return 0- r atrial pressure +7
The most greater the difference btw the mean systemic filling pressure and the r atrial pressure:
.
Venous return:
Man systemic filling pressure - r atrial pressure / resistance to venous pressure
Impedes flow of blood into r atrial
R atrial pressure
Forces systemic blood towards heart
Mean systemic filling pressure
3rd factor affecting venous return
Blood flow resistance btw peripheral cvessels and r atrium
Impedes blood flow
Resistance

Psf=7– shows what happens when resistance is changed
