Q

– Acts as a filter
– Produces all the PROCOAGULANTS essential to
hemostasis and blood coagulation
(PROTHROMBIN and CLOTTING FACTORS)
– formation of Vitamin K

Q

AV Valve Mechanics when Ventricles relax

A

pressure drops, semilunar valves close, AV valves open, blood flows from atria to ventricles

98
Q

AV Valve Mechanics when Ventricles contract

A

AV valves close (papillary m. contract and pull on chordae tendineae to prevent prolapse), pressure rises, semilunar valves open, blood flows into great vessels

systole

A

contraction

Heart Sounds

109
Q

Four sounds but only two loud enough to hear by
stethoscope which are

(S1 and S2)

110
Q

long, booming sound AV valves closing

Q

diastole, pulmonic, aortic valve

A

s2 dub

116
Q

Represents the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves

A

First heart sound(S1)

117
Q

Represents the closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves

A

Second heart sound (S2)

118
Q

It is created by the blood coming from the atria into the
ventricles during the early diastolic filling phase. Occurs
just after S2.

A

Third heart sound (S3)

119
Q

It is created by atrial contraction at the late diastolic phase. It
occurs just before S1

A

Fourth heart sound (S4)

120
Q

Normal heart sound

A

First heart
sound(S1
)

121
Q

splitting is heard (the lungs
and veins expand so the
venous return increases to
the right side of the heart.)

A

Second heart sound (S2

)

122
Q

causes an increase in
blood flow thru the
pulmonary valve.

A

the lungs
and veins expand so the
venous return increases to
the right side of the heart.

123
Q

NB: S3

is almost

always pathologic. It is
caused by diseased of
the left ventricle
(dilated left ventricle,
poor-contracted left
ventricle, dilated
cardiomyopathy, MI)

A

Third heart
sound(S3
)

124
Q

Normally,
heard in
healthy young
people.

A

Fourth heart
sound (S4
)

125
Q

swishing sound heard
when there is turbulent or abnormal blood
flow across the heart valve.
