Week 4 Day 2 Under Pressure, Cardiac cycle A Flashcards
What are the two sections of the cardiovascular system?
Pulmonary and systemic system
Which side of heart carries oxygen poor molecules?
The right side
What is hydrostatic pressure
?
The force exerted by the fluid on its container (i.e. blood vessels
Waht is the flow equation?
F=changeP/R
What are the 3 factors that affect flow? Describe each
Distance, diameter of tube, viscosity
Distance: flow and pressure decrease over distance
Diameter: thinner containers have increased resistance
Viscosity: thicker fluids do not flow as well
Where are 3/4 of the blood flow used in the bodies organs? Name the 4
Brain, skeletal muscle, kidneys, abdominal organs
When pressure increases during heart contraction, what does it do to the valves?
The valves will close to prevent backflow
What’s another name for tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve? And which valve makes the sound lub & dub
Atrioventricular valve & semilunar valve
AV: lub
SV: Dub
What allows the valve ahead of the blood flow to be open?
The low pressure
When Ventricular muscle cells are at rest, what is the RMP, what is the status of VG NA & Ca channels (open or closed)
- RMP: -90
- Both are closed
Where can L-type VG-Ca2+ channels be found? And what do they do?
They can be found in the ventricular and atrial cardiac muscles
-they open slower
For ventricular and atrial cardiac muscles, which two channels open about the same time?
L-type VG-Ca2+ & VG-K channels
What are the two new channels that give pacemaker potential?
F-type VG-Na+ and T-type VG-Ca2+ channels
For the pacemaker, when does the L-type Vg-Ca2+ open?
When it reaches threshold
What does the parasympathetic NS do to Potassium and Calcium permeability?
Increases K permeability (hyper-polarize)
Decrease Ca2+ permeability (slower depolarization)
