week 5 Flashcards
the circulatory system is what 2 systems
cv and resp
what does cardresp system do
move o2 and nutrients and reg body temp
what are the 2 adjustments of blood flow during exercise
increase cardiac output
redistribution of blood to muscles
the 4 parts of CVresp system
heart, arteries, arterioles, veins, venules and capillaries
what is the pulmonary circuit
right side of heart, oxygenates blood and returns it to the left side of heart
what is the systematic circuit
pumps oxygenated blood to rest of the body using arteries
wall components are made of smooth tissue - 4 examples
collagen, smooth muscle, elastin and endothelium
what 3 things does blood hold
ions, hormones and proteins
what cells carry hemoglobin
erythrocytes
what cells prevent clotting
platelets
what is a hematocrit
percentage of blood composed of erythrocytes
what makes up blood
plasma and hematocrit (42%)
how do you calculate plasma volume
hematocrit percentage x blood volume = x L
PLASMA = 5.5L - 2.3L = 3.2L
what is resistance
measure of hinderance to blood flow through a vessel
blood flow = change in pressure / resistance
