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
