Q

Serous pericardium

A
  • Deeper, thinner, more delicate and forms a double layer around the heart
  • Outer parietal is fused to fibrous pericardium
  • Inner visceral layer =epicardium that adheres tightly to heart wall
  • Between the two is the pericardial cavity that contains pericardial fluid secreted by pericardial cells

24
Q

Tunica interna/intima

A
  • squamous epithelium
  • inner most layer
  • in contact with blood
25
Q

Tunica media

A
  • smooth muscle
  • Alpha and beta adrenergic receptors
  • sympathetic nervous system mostly
26
Q

Alpha receptor stimulation

A
  • contraction of smooth muscle
27
Q

Beta receptor stimulation

A

-Dilation of smooth muscle

28
Q

Tunica externa/adventitia

A
  • Elastic connective tissue (arteries) and collagen fibers (type I)
29
Q

Arteries

A
  • Thick walls to resist high pressure
  • Rounder than veins
  • Tunica media more muscle and elastic tissue than vein
  • Smaller lumen to maintain high pressure
30
Q

Types of arteries

A
  • Large/elastic
  • Medium/muscular
  • Small artery/arterioles
31
Q

Large/elastic artery

A
  • Media is very thick, has collagen and elastin
  • Aorta and branches, pulmonary trunk, common carotid, subclavian, verterbral and common iliac arteries under high pressure
32
Q

Medium/muscular artery

A
  • Large arteries branch into medium
  • Larger quantity of smooth muscle in the intima
  • Less elastin
  • Less pressure
33
Q

Small artery/arterioles

A
  • Tunica media has far fewer muscle fibers
34
Q

Veins

A
  • thin walls
  • Don’t retain shape
  • Collapse easily
  • Wider lumen lower presure
  • Tunica media contain small amounts of smooth muscle
  • Valves
  • Tunica media thinner
35
Q

Capillaries

A
  • arterioles branch into capillaries

- fenestrated, discontinuous (sinusoids), continuous

36
Q

Continuous capillaries

A
  • most common
  • found in skin, muscle, connective tissue, nervous and respiratory tissue
  • cells close together with gap junctions
37
Q

Fenestrated

A
  • bowmans capsule, endocrine tissue and part of small intestine
  • Rapid molecular exchange between lumen of capillary and tissues
38
Q

Discontinuous capillaries/sinusoids

A
  • bone marrow, liver and spleen
  • no gap junctions between these cells and vessels allow for direct transportation from the vascular lumen to surrounding cell
39
Q

Cardiac output

A

CO=SVXHR

Blood ejected by ventricles each minute (ml/min)

40
Q

Stoke volume

A
  • blood ejected from ventricle each cardiac cycle

- SV= EDV-ESV

41
Q

Stroke volume influences

A
  • Preload (starlings)
  • Contractility
  • Afterload
42
Q

Preload

A
  • initial stretching of cardia myocytes prior to contraction
43
Q

Contractility

A
  • ability of heart to eject a stroke volume at a given afterload and preload
44
Q

Afterload

A
  • force against which heart has to contract to eject blood
45
Q

Starlings law of the heart

A
  • increased filling pressure of the right heart results in increased cardiac output.
  • Any increase in output of the right heart is quickly communicated to the left heart as an increased filling pressure.
46
Q

Peripheral vascular resistance

A
  • resistance of peripheral vasculature in the systemic circulation (not pulmonary)
47
Q

Total peripheral resistance

A
  • amount of force exerted on circulating blood throughout the circulatory system
48
Q

systole

A

contraction of heart pumping blood out

49
Q

Diastole

A
  • heart relaxes after contraction
50
Q

AV valves open

A
  • atrial pressure higher than ventricular pressure
51
Q

Semilunar valves open

A
  • ventricular pressure higher then aortic and pulmonary pressure
52
Q

Cardiac cycle phases

A
  • Isovolumetric contraction
  • Systolic ejection/rapid ventricular ejection
  • Isovolumetric relaxation
  • Passive (rapid) ventricular filling
  • Active filling
53
Q

Hypertension

A

persistent systolic blood pressure of greater than or equal to 140m Hg (>140) and/or diastolic blood pressure of greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg (>90)

54
Q

Primary hypertension

A

Has no detectable cause (95% of cases)

55
Q

Secondary hypertension

A

-due to a specific underlying issue (renal, endocrine, vascular diseases)

56
Q

Accelerated hypertension

A

-a recent significant increase over baseline BP that is associated with target organ damage. Usually seen as vascular damage on funduscopic examination such as flame shaped hemorrhages or soft exudates but without papilledema

57
Q

Secondary causes of hypertension

A
  • Endocrine
  • Adrenal
  • Renal
  • CVS
  • Drugs
  • Other
58
Q

Pheochromocytoma

A
  • benign tumor of chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla which produces large amounts of NE/E –> increased vasoconstriction and cardia stimulation –> hypertension
59
Q

Renal artery stenosis

A
  • narrowing of one or more arteries of renal arteries preventing normal amounts of o2 rich blood from reaching kidneys
  • Reduced GFR–> inability to excrete Na+ and water so fluid retained and blood volume and pressure cannot be reduced –> RAAS activated to increase BP
