Unit 6 Flashcards
Heart Function
Delivery of O2, fuel, and nutrients to the tissues of the body
Removal of CO2 and waste products from the tissues
Maintenance of a constant body temperature (thermoregulation)
Prevention of infection (immune function)
Pumps blood to the body
Right Heart
pumps deoxygenated blood (darker red and often depicted as blue) from the body to the lungs (pulmonary circulation)
Left Heart
delivers oxygenated blood (bright red) from the lungs to the rest of the body (systemic circulation)
Lung Functions
Supply O2 to blood
Remove CO2 from blood
Regulate blood pH (acid-base balance)
Pathway of blood through the heart
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava, Right atrium, Tricuspid Valve,
Right ventricle, Pulmonary Semilunar Valve, Pulmonary Artery, Lungs,
Pulmonary viens, Left Atrium, Bicuspid valve, Left ventricle,
Aortic Semilunar Valve, Aorta,
Arteries, Arteriols, Capillares,
Venules, Veins,
Pathway of electrical signals through the heart
It starters in the SA node. Which is also the pacemaker. If it breaks down then the AV node takes over. The AV node connects the electrical pathways between the atria and the ventricles. The bundle of HIS Transmits the electrical current from the AV node to the Bundle. The perkinji fibers which is what makes the muscle contract.
Pathway of oxygen entering the body
Nose and Mouth, Pharynx, Epiglottis
Larynx, Trachea, Primary Bronchi,
Secondary and Tertiary Bronchi,
Respitory Brochi, Alveolar Ducts,
Alveoli, Blood Tissues
The cardiovascular system is composed of?
the heart, Blood vessels, and blood
Deoxygenated blood
pumped from the body to the lungs in pulmonary circulation
T or F cells of the cardiac muscle are interconnected and allow the passage of electrical signals
true
Blood is supplied to the heart through?
Right and Left coronary artery
Cardiac Cycle
a series of events that occur through one heartbeat
Diastolic
the pressure observed in the arteries during the relaxation of the heart
circulatory system
The network of vessels that transport fluid throughout the body
skeletal-muscle pump
the phenomenon where, with each contraction of a skeletal muscle, blood is pushed back to the heart
heart rate
The number of times the heart contracts in one minute
bradycardia
A decrease in heart rate at rest and during sub-maximal exercise
The conducting zone
compromises all of the structures that convey air outside the body to the lungs
The respiratory zone is composed of
alveolar sacs, the Bronchioles, and the alveolar ducts
diaphragm
Separates chest cavity from abdominal cavity
Tidal lung volumes are determined by
the actual structure of the lung
Gas exchange is mediated by both
lung and blood tissue
Henrys law
The amount of gas that will dissolve into a liquid is proportional to the parietal pressure and the solubility of the gas
How is blood Ph measured
how acidic or basic blood is
a-vo2 difference
refers to the difference b/w the amount of O2 in arteries and veins
Oxygen deficet
represents the difference b/w the O2 required to perform a task and that O2 consumed prior to reaching a new steady state
Lisy 5 ways the Cardiovascular and Respiratory systems adapt/change due to endurance training.
Lower overall heart rate, Increased heart and blood volume, Stroke volume at rest, Taking less breaths, The body is able to use oxygen more efficiently
Oxygenated Blood
from lungs to heart, red in colour
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Pacemaker
Bundle of HIS
Atrioventricular bundle
