  • Front
  • Back
distribution
delivers oxygen from lungs and nutrients from GI tract transports metabolic waste, transports hormons
Regulation
maintains body temp via capillaries, maintains normal ph via buffer systems, maintains adequate fluid volume in the circulatory system
protection
prevent blood loss , prevent infection
why blood a connective tissue?
composed of cells in a fluid matrix and because dissolved proteins fibrin threads during the clotting process
leukocytes
white blood cells, granulocytes, and agranulocytes
monocytes
kidney shaped they leave the bloodstream and entered the tissues and differentiate into highly mobile macrophages that are phagocytic for viruses
erythropoietin
released from kidneys and stimulates RBC production
rh factor
rh antibodies are not preformed in the blood. they develop when the person who is rh negative is exposed to rh blood
hemostasis
the ability to stop bleeding
platelets
release platelet derived growth factor. that stimulate smooth muscle cells and fibroblast to divide and rebuild the endothelial wall of the vessel
fibrinolysis
removal of clot as healing occurs plasmon a fibrin digesting enzyme produced from plasminogen which is naturally incorporated into clot during clot formation
antigens
cause vigorous transfusion reaction
antibody
May contain anti-a or anti-b that act against transfusion RBC with ABO antigens not normally present
heme pigment of RBC
is degraded into billrubin
hemocytoblast
hematopoietic stem cells.
tunic intima
covered with endothelium that lines lumen of all blood vessels (type blood vessel)
tunica media
is elastin circularly arranged smooth muscles cells that are regulated by the sympathetic nervous system
tunica externa
outermost layer is collagen fibers that protect and reinforce the vessels and anchor It to surrounding structures
simple squamous cells
make up endothelium of the blood vessels and are continuous with the heart
average blood pressure
120/80mmhg
continuous capillaries
abundant in skin and muscle
fenestrated capillaries
small intestine, endocrine organs, and kidneys
sinusoidal capillaries
liver, bone marrow, spleen, and adrenal medulla
systolic
opening the aortic semilunar valve expanding the aorta
diastolic
aortic seminar valve closes and the pressure left in the aorta
vasa vasorum
larger vessel with their own blood supply
elastic arteries
conducting arteries, thick walled arteries near the heart, low resistance that conduct blood from heart to medium sized arteries
muscular arteries
distributing arteries deliver blood to specific body areas or organs have thick tunica media with more smooth muscles than elastin
arterioles
smallest of arteries and tunica media is mostly smooth muscle with few elastic fibers for vasoconstriction that regulates blood flow in response to neural, hormonal, and local chemical changes
chemoreceptors
send impulses the cardioacceleratory center which increase cardiac output and to the vasomotor center which causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels.
renin
is produced when arterial blood pressure declines. is ultimately results in the production of angiotensin II which is a potent vasoconstrictor
baroreceptors, carotid sinus, and aortic arch
in the walls of large artery of neck and thorax. stretching baroreceptors sends a rapid stream of impulse to the vasomotor center resulting in decline in blood pressure they respond rapidly to change in blood pressure for example going from reclinded to standing position activate the carotid sinus reflex to protect blood supply to the brain and aortic reflex to maintain blood pressure
peripheral resistance
resistance the opposition, friction, to blood flow. blood viscosity increases so does resistance. blood vessel length as length increases so does resistance. blood vessel diameter decreasing size of the lumen will increase resistance
pericardium
protects, anchors, and prevents overfilling.
heart beat and blood/minute
75/min
artia muscle
coronary sulcus
ventricles muscles
interventricuar sulci
two sounds lub dub
1. occurs as AV valves close
2. occurs when SL valves close
ECG
P wave: depolarization of SA node
QRS complex: ventricular depolarization
T wave: ventricular repolarization
affecting stroke volume are
1. preload
2. contractility
3. afterload
sympathetic nervous system
activated by emotional or physical stressors. morphine causes the pacemaker to fire more rapidly
parasympathetic nervous system
opposes sympathetic effects. acetylcholine hyperpolarizes pacemaker cells by opening K+ channels
Bainbridge reflex
atrial reflex, a sympathetic reflex initiated by increased venous return and increase atrial filling
hypokalemia
an increase in potassium interferes with depolarization by lowering the resting portential and could lead to cardiac arrest and decrease in potassium causes the heart to beat arrhythmically
