the heart Flashcards
right side heart
deoxuganated blood enters the right side artrium from the body pushed by muscle in the right ventricle to the lungs where is oxyganted
left side heart
oxyganted blood returns from lungs to the left artrium it is then pushed to the left ventricle and then out the body thru eaorta.
cardiac output
heart rate x stroke volume
arteries
thick wall
smooth muscle
narrow luman
withstand high blood pressure
allows walls to strech whrn blood is pumped into the arteries
capillaries
very thin walls
small luman
allow gas exchange between blood and tissues
links arteries and veins
veins
thin walls
little smooth muscle
wide luman
valves
valves stop backflow
cardiac distole
no contraction
heart refills with blood
atria distole
contraction
blood in artrium forces into ventricle
ventricular distole
ventricles contract causing lood to leave the heart forces open semilunr valve
p wave
time of atria systole
t wave
repolarisation of ventricles during distole
path of blood cells through the heart and lungs
passes into right artrium through the triscupid valve into the right ventricle into the lungs via pulmanory arteries
From lungs to left artrium via pulamory vein thru the triscupid valve into the lft ventricle to rest of body thru aeorta
anti-hypertensive
reduce high blood pressure
statins
reduces ldl by inhabiting enzymes in the liver
tranplantation
properly functioning heart
high blood pressure
damage lining of arteries and increse risk of blood clot
structure of alveoli to adapt to its function
large surface area so maximisung rate of diffusion
breathing in
diagpram contracts and moves down to become flat
intercost contract and move ribcage upwards and downwards
volume of chest increases
pressure decreses in lungs compared to outside
air rushes in
breathing out
internal intercosts contract and move cahe upwards and downwards
adominal muscles contract and push digrpam back up
volume of chest decreses
air rushes in
renal vein
takes reabsorbed nutrients back into the blood away from kidney
kidney
filters blood to remove waste which converts into urine
adh
hormone relesed by pitutary glands that effect permability
with adh
makes the walls of the collecting duct permamble to water and leaves by osmosi
without adh
hypotenic filtrate passes thru collecting dust unchanged producing high levels of urine
neuphron
responsible for the production of urine in order to get rid of toxins
diffusion
region of high con to low con
propartional to concentration gradient
osmsis
high water pot to low water pon
phagocytis
move into cells
structure surrounded by cell membrane and engufled by vesicles when moves into cell
exotisys
to remove large particles from inside the cell
