23
Q

Electrical Conduction Order and Roles

A

SAN: Stimulates Atria and AVN
AVN: Send stimulus through AVB
AVB - BB - PF
PF: Contracts Ventricles

24
Q

P Wave (ECG)

A

Atrial depolarization from SAN
Atrial contraction/systole

25
Q

QRS Complex

A

Ventricular depolarization & Atrial re-polarization.
Ventricle systole/Atrial diastole

26
Q

T Wave

A

Ventricular repolarization
Ventricular diastole.

27
Q

“LUB”

A

Blood falling back on closed atrioventricular valves

28
Q

“DUB”

A

Blood falling back on closed semilunar valves

29
Q

4 Factors Affecting Heart Rate

A
  1. Autonomic Nervous System (Main)
    Symp: High HR & HC
    Para: Low HR
  2. Hormones (Main)
    Epinephrine & Norepinephrine: High HR & HC
  3. Ions in blood (affect conduction system)
    Na, K: Low HR & HC
    Ca: High HR & HC
  4. Body Temp
    High: High HR
    Low: Low HR & HC
30
Q

3 Functions of Blood

A
  1. Transport (nutrients, gasses, hormones, waste)
  2. Regulate body temp and pH
  3. Protection (defense, immunity, blood clotting)
    Blood Mobile
31
Q

Composition of Blood

A

Blood Plasma 55%
Formed Elements 45%

32
Q

Erythrocytes

A

Red Blood Cells
No Nucleus
O2 and CO2 by Hemoglobin

33
Q

Leukocytes

A

White blood cells
Immune System

34
Q

Platelets

A

Thrombocytes
No nuclei/hemoglobin
Blood clotting

35
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

Production of blood from red bone marrow.
One type of stem cell forms into myeloids (majority) or lymphoid stem cells.

36
Q

Plasma

A

Liquid - carries formed elements.
90% water.
7% Plasma proteins (albumin)
2% other substances

37
Q

Albumin

A

Keeps blood fluid/liquid by osmosis (pulls water into blood stream)

38
Q

Blood Viscosity

A

Thickness (thicker than water)
Amount of blood cells and proteins affect this.
Changes will affect circulation of blood (BP)

39
Q

Hypoxia

A

Not enough oxygen.
Stimulates red blood cell production.

40
Q

EPO

A

Erythropoietin.
Stimulates red bone marrow, increases RBC count, O2 is carried.

41
Q

Haematocrit

A

RBC
38%-54% normal

42
Q

Anemia

A

Low haematocrit
Low Iron or B12
Low hemoglobin

43
Q

Polycythemia

A

Hypoxia
High haematocrit

44
Q

Neutrophils

A

Majority of WBC.
Fight bacterial
Multi-lobe nucleus

45
Q

Lympocytes

A

2nd most
T: Virus
B: Antibodies as plasma cells
Majority is nucleus

46
Q

Monocytes

A

3rd most
OR Macrophages

A

WBC affected by infections, cancers.

51
Q

Differential Count

A

Blood smear from patient blood, 100 random white blood cells counted and sorted by type.
Can indicate type of disease in patient.
