URR Hemodynamics Flashcards
What is the cycle of Systemic Circulation in the body ?
lt vent -> Ao -> arterioles -> capillaries -> venules -> veins -> IVC/SVC -> rt atrium
What is the cycle of Pulmonary Circulation in the body?
rt vent -> pulmonary A -> lungs -> pulmonary veins -> lt atrium
oxygen saturation is highest where in the heart?
pulmonary vein
oxygen saturation is lowest where in the heart?
IVC/SVC
what are the only arteries to carry deoxygenated blood?
pulmonary artery
what veins are the only veins to carry oxygenated blood?
pulmonary veins
what happens during systole in the cardiac pump?
(contraction) lt vent pressures increase rapidly to exceed aortic pressure and push bolus of blood into the arteries
what happens during diastole in the cardiac pump?
(relaxation) lt vent pressures decrease rapidly and lt vent refills with blood from the lt atrium
the normal heart rate is?
60-100 bpm
what is bradycardia?
< 60 bpm
what is tachycardia?
> 100 bpm
the heart pumps an average of how much blood into the Aorta with each contraction?
70ml
systemic pressure is greatest at the what?
heart
arterioles are responsible for what?
regulating resistance in the tissues
capillaries are responsible for what?
perfusion of the surrounding tissues and the exchange of nutrients and waste products between the blood and tissues
what is kinetic energy?
energy of motion
