suffer
Left (main) coronary artery
Supplies blood to left side of heart
Left Anterior Descending Artery
Branches off from left main coronary artery and supplies anterior left side of heart
Circumflex Artery
Branches off from left coronary artery and surrounds heart; supplies blood to posterior and lateral heart
Right Coronary Artery
Supplies blood to the right ventricle, right atrium, and SA and AV nodes
Vein layers (superficial to deep)
Tunica externa
Tunica media (smooth muscle + inner elastin)
Connective tissue
Endothelium
Valve
Lumen
Upper veins
Superior vena cava
Subclavian
Axillary
Cephalic
Basilic
Upper arteries
Brachial
Subclavian
Axillary
Radial
Ulnar
Lower veins
Inferior vena cava
Iliac
Femoral
Popliteal
Lower arteries
Descending aorta
Iliac
Femoral
Popliteal
Blood pressure
Systolic / diastolic
Cardiac output (def. + equation)
How much blood is pumped by both ventricles in one minute
C. output = (Heart rate)(stroke volume)
Stroke volume
How much blood is pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat; mL per beat (not per minute)
Pulse points
Carotid, brachial, radial, ulnar, femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis
ABI calculation
Higher ankle pressure / higher arm pressure
mL to L
1000 mL = 1 L
Purkinje fibers + bundle of His function
Conduct the electrical signal from the SA and AV nodes down to the ventricles
Electrical pathway
SA node -> AV node (delays ventricular contraction) -> bundle of His -> bundle branches -> Purkinje fibers -> ventricles contract -> cycle repeats
Right lung sections
Horizontal fissure - between superior and middle lobes
Oblique fissure - between middle and inferior lobes
Left lung sections
Oblique fissure - between inferior and superior lobes
Conduction zone
Nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, and most bronchioles
Respiratory zone
Respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
Epiglottis
Flap of tissue beneath the tongue at the back of the throat; prevents food and liquid from entering the lungs / pharynx
Punctured lung
A hole in the lungs causes air to escape into the pleural space (between the chest wall and lung)
Pulmonary fibrosis
The walls of the alveoli (epithelial tissue) become thick and scarred, making it harder for oxygen to diffuse in and out of capillaries
Lung cancer
Epithelial cells lining the trachea, bronchi, or lung tissue divide out of control, taking up space and nutrients from original cells
