Tunica intima |
lines the lumen of a Vessel intima= intimate/inside Closky packed cells form smooth surface that reduces friction and helps blood travel |
Smooth, inside job (intimate) |
|
Tunica media |
Media-middle, is bulky And made of smooth muscle and elast ic tissue. Controlled by the sympathetic nervous system is active in changing the diameter of blood vessels alters BP& Peripheral resistance |
Buff middle |
|
Terminal externa |
Outside of tunic, Composed of fibrous Connective tissue function as blood Vessel support And protection |
Outside layer |
|
Artery Structure |
Artery walls are thicker than veins. the tunica media in arteries is thicker and more muscular because arteries are closer to the pumping Of the heart and have to expand and contract to a great degree. their walls must be strong enough to withstand Such pressure fluctuations |
|
|
Vein structure |
are farther away from the heart so they are much less muscular than arteries. their walls are thinner / but they have a larger lumen because pressure is lower but it has to return the same Amount of blood |
|
|
Ascending aorta |
branches into the left and right coronary arteries which provide oxygen to the heart |
|
|
Brachiocephalic trunk |
First major branch of the aortic arch Splits And divides into the right common Carotid artery and the right Subclavian |
|
|
Cardiac cycle (includes events of one complete heartbeat) |
both atria and Ventricles Contract and relax. • 1 Ventrical filling: Vertical filling and atrial contraction •2 ventricular systole: isovolumentric contraction • 3 early diastole: Isovolumetric relaxation, ventricular filling |
|
|
Systole |
Contraction of the heart |
|
|
diastole |
Period of relaxation of the heart |
|
|
Lub |
AV valve close at the beginning of Systole |
|
|
Dub |
Occurs when the SL Valve closes at the end of systole |
|
|
Lub-Dub |
heart sounds |
|
|
Pulse |
Alternate surges of pressure in the artery that occur with each beat of the left ventricle usually is heart rate which is 70-76 bpm |
|
|
Blood Pressure (BP) |
pressure exerted by the blood up on the walls of the blood vessels / measured by sphygmomanometer and expressed in millimeters of mercury |
|
|
Systolic pressure |
pressure during the peak of ventricular ejection usually 120mm HG |
|
|
Diastolic pressure |
Pressure during ventricular relegation Usually 80mm HG |
|
|
Sphygmomanometer |
Instrument used to take blood pressure blood pressure cuff |
|
|
Sounds of korotkoff |
as cuff pressure is released the examiner listens with a stethoscope Over the brachial artery for the characteristic sounds that indicate the resumption of blood flow into the forearm |
|
|
Arterial blood pressure |
Cardiac output (CO) x Peripheral resistance (PR) |
|
|
Upper respiratory system |
Nose pnarynrd & larynx |
|
|
Phaeryngotympanic tubes |
auditory or Eustachian tubes, which allow middle ear pressure to become equalized to atmospheric pressure. ( lets your ears pop) |
Tympani=ear pharyngeo=mouth |
|
Cribriform plate |
horizontal plate of the ethmoid bone separating the cranial cavity From the nasal cavity |
|
|
Sphenoid sinus |
Sinus located within the sphenoid bone |
|
|
Posterior nasal apeture |
open passageway at the end of the nasal cavity leading into the pharynx |
|
|
Nasopharynx |
posterior (behind) to the nasal cavity and Continuous with it. lies above Soft palate it serves as only an air passage |
|
|
Pharyngeo tonsil |
(adenoids) important defense mechanism Of the pulmonary system? (google it later) |
|
|
Uvula |
Dangles from the back of the roof Of the mouth |
|
|
Oropharynx |
posterior (behind) the oral cavity and continuous with it through an archway Extends from the soft pallet to the epiglottis Conduit for food and air |
|
|
Palatine tonsil |
in the lateral Walls of the Oropharynx |
|
|
Lingual tonsils |
Cover the base of the tongue in the Oropharynx |
Lingual= tongue |
|
Laryngpharnyx |
like oropharynx, Accommodates both ingested food and air extends to larynx where it divides into respiratory and digestive Channels |
|
|
Larnyx |
Made up of nine Cartilages most very small. all are hyaline except for epiglottis which is elastic Made up of nine Cartilages most very small. all are hyaline except for epiglottis which is elastic |
|
|
Esophogus |
Muscular tube that connects the month to the stomach |
|
|
Trachea |
Airway passage; has cartilage rings to help keep it open as air rushes in; Branches into lefty right bronchus |
|
|
Frontal sinus |
One of a pair of cavities in the frontal bone |
|
|
Nasal cavity |
Either of the two cavities lying between the bottom of the cranium and & the roof of the mouth. extends from face to pharynx |
|
|
Nasal conchae |
later |
|
|
Nasal Meatuses |
passageways formed by the Chonchaea increases surface area of the internal nose and prevents dehydration by trapping water droplets during exhalation |
|
|
Nostril |
opening for air to enter respiratory system(nares) |
|
|
Hard palate |
boney roof of mouth |
|
|
Soft palate |
back [oof of month |
