What types of pumps are there in the circulatory system? |
Chambered hearts, skeletal muscles, pulsating blood vessels, and one-way valves |
|
|
A 2-chambered heart has |
1 atrium, 1 ventricle |
Fish |
|
A 3-chambered heart has |
2 atria, 1 ventricle |
Amphibians |
|
A 4-chambered heart has |
2 atria, 2 ventricles |
Birds and mammals |
|
A 5-chambered heart has |
2 atria, 3 ventricular divisions |
Reptiles |
|
Arterial side of the circulation takes blood in what direction corresponding to the heart |
Away from the heart; except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood |
|
|
Venous side of the circulation takes blood in what direction corresponding to the heart |
To the heart; except the pulmonary vein, which carries oxygenated blood |
|
|
Types of capillaries |
Continuous, fenestrated, and sinusoidal |
|
|
Continuous characteristics |
Cells held together by tight junctions |
Skin and muscle |
|
Fenestrated characteristics |
Cells contain pores and are specialized for exchange |
Kidneys, endocrine organs, and intestine |
|
Sinusoidal characteristics |
Few tight junctions and is the most porous for exchange of large proteins |
Liver and bone marrow |
|
Directional flow- Where does blood go from pulmonary semilunar valve; aortic semilunar valve? |
Pulmonary arteries; aorta |
|
|
Directional flow- Where does blood flow from the vena cava; left and right atria? |
Right atrium; bicuspid valve and tricuspid valve |
|
|
What are the two different types of ventricular diastole? |
Pressure in the atria exceeds ventricular pressure and the AV valves open and ventricles fill passively. Isovolumetric relaxation-the ventricles relax, pressure exceeds ventricular pressure and the semilunar valves will close. |
|
|
What occurs during atrial systole? |
Atrial contraction forces additional blood into ventricles |
Atrial kick |
|
Different types of ventricular systole? |
Ventricular contraction pushes the AV valves closed and increases pressure inside the ventricle Increased ventricular pressure forces the semilunar valves open and blood is ejected. |
Isovolumteric contraction; ventricular ejection |
|
Components of electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) |
P wave, QRS compex and T wave |
|
|
What is P wave a measurement of? |
atrial depolarization |
|
|
What is QRS complex a measurement of? |
ventricular depolarization |
|
|
What is T wave a measurement of? |
ventricular repolarization |
|
|
How is cardiac output calculated? |
HR X SV or EDV- ESV |
|
|
What is preload? |
Relaxed phased where veins return blood to the heart |
|
|
What is afterload? |
Blood that is left in the heart after contraction |
|
|
Frank-Starling effect |
Increased end-diastolic volume results in a more forceful contraction and increased SV |
|
|
How does autoregulation regulate blood flow? |
Direct response of arteriole smooth muscle |
|
|
What intrinsic factors regulate blood flow? |
Metabolic state of the tissue |
|
|
What extrinsic factors regulate blood flow? |
Nervous and endocrine factors |
|
|
What does norepinephrine regulate and how? |
Increase sympathetic neurons tone causes vasoconstriction, and decreased causes vasodilation |
|
|
What does vasopressin regulate and how? |
Causes vasoconstriction |
|
|
What does angiotensin 2 regulate and how? |
Decreased blood pressure causes generalized vasoconstriction |
|
|
What does arterial natriuretic peptide regulate and how? |
Increased blood pressure promotes generalized vasodilation |
|
|
What is MAP and how is calculated? |
Mean Arterial Pressure= average arterial pressure over time MAP= 2/3 diastolic + 1/3 systolic |
|
|
Orthostatic hypotension |
Low blood pressure upon standing when reflex is too slow |
|
|
Composition of blood |
Plasma, erythocytes, and other blood/clotting cells
|
|
|
What is hematocrit? |
Fraction of blood made up of erythrocytes |
|
|
Types of leukocytes |
Neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, monocytes/macrophage, and lymphocyte |
|
|
Neutrophil function |
Uses phagocytosis to engulf damaged cells, microorganisms and other foreign particles |
|
|
Eosinophil function |
Leaves the circulatory system and accumulates at sites of infection. Releases cytotoxic chemicals that kill foreign particles and involved in inflammation |
|
|
Monocyte function |
Monocytes mature into phagocytic macrophages that engulf and destroy foreign particles and dead/dying cells. |
|
|
Lymphocyte function |
B cells- secrete antibodies Helper T cells- secrete molecules that activate other lymphocytes Killer T cells- secrete cytotoxic agents that kill invaders or dying cells |
|
|
What is hematopoiesis? |
Blood cell formation |
|
|
What is erythopoietin? |
Hormone released by the kidney in response to low blood oxygen; stimulates formation of erythocytes in red bone marrow |
|
|
What is the single precursor of blood cell? |
Hematopoietic stem cell; two predecessors- myeloid and lymphoid |
|
|
A 1-chambered heart is |
Tubelike |
early embryos of vertebrates |
|
Law of bulk flow |
Q= delta P/ R Q= flow, delta P= change in pressure, R=resistance; R= 8L viscosity/ pi radius^4 |
