What is #1?
Lymph nodes (general)
What is #2?
Lymph vessels
What is #1?
Submandibular lymph nodes
What is #2?
Cervical lymph nodes
What is #3?
Right lymphatic duct
What is #4?
Axillary lymph nodes
What is #1?
Inguinal lymph nodes
What is #1?
Spleen
What is #2?
Splenic artery
bifurcation
branch
Blood moves slowest in which vessels? Why?
Capillaries because they have large diameters.
Blood moves fastest in which vessels? Why?
Artery because they have the smallest diameters.
Considering a corresponding artery and vein which has a smaller diameter? Why?
Arteries have a smaller diameter because they have to pump blood.
volume pulse
the change in blood volume with each cardiac cycle
What occurrence in the body is responsible for the dicrotic notch?
recoil of aorta
amplitude
height of pulse recording
Notice that the slope of the rising edge of the volume pulse is much steeper than the slope of the falling edge. Why?
Artery contraction is active [steep rise] and when blood returns, it's passive [not so steep fall].
What changes in the finger are represented by the amplitude changes?
The amount of blood going to the finger.
Does the amplitude range increase or decrease when the person stands? Why?
Decreases b/c there is less blood going to the finger.
What is the heart rate after the person stands up? Why?
73 bpm b/c it had to pump blood to the legs, which is farther.
What is the heart rate when the recording returns to normal?
Returns to normal
Explain ALL of the above changes in terms of “homeostasis”.
Your heart only works as hard as your body needs it to and will compensate for changes needed.
How much does the heart rate change after exercise?
Heart rate increased by 10 bpm.
Does the amplitude range increase or decrease right after exercise? Explain.
Amplitude increased b/c more blood was required for muscle contraction.
What does the change in volume pulse amplitude and heart rate indicate about changes in the volume of blood flowing in the finger?
More peripheral blood flow during exercise and even for minutes after.
Does your data support the expected need for more energy and blood flow to muscles during exercise?
Yes.
How does the amplitude (height) of the volume pulse for the cooled finger compare with the recording at normal room temperature?
Decreased amplitude and decreased heart rate
Can you explain this difference in terms of the effect of cold on peripheral blood vessels?
Cold elevates pulse pressure, narrows vessels, and increases peripheral resistance
What happens to the volume pulse amplitude when the finger is heated?
Increased amplitude and increased heart rate
Can you explain this difference in terms of the effect of heat on peripheral blood vessels?
Heat stress induces vasodilation, which increases blood flow to area and reduces resistance.
What receptors does nicotine attach to in the nervous system?
Nicotinic cholinergic receptors
Where are these nicotinic cholinergic receptors?
Target organs
How is tobacco smoke able to cause such a wide range of effects?
Due to acting on receptors of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
radial artery pulse
groove medial to styloid process of radius
carotid artery pulse
side of the neck
temporal artery pulse
on the temple above and to side of eye
brachial artery pulse
inner side of biceps
popliteal artery pulse
behind knee
What does your heart rate returning to resting rate indicate about cardiovascular condition?
The faster your heart returns to resting value after exercise, the healthier you are.
resting (sitting) pulse rate
your pulse at rest
What is the class average pulse for males?
69
How do the class' heart rates compare to each other?
Females have a slightly higher rate than males
How do the class' heart rates compare to expected results?
Women are suppose to have a slightly higher rate than men. The rates fit the norm.
sphygmomanometer
instrument used to measure peripheral blood pressure indirectly
manometer
used to measure the pressure within the cuff in millimeters of mercury
respiration rate
how many breaths an individual takes per minute
systolic pressure
pressure at the time the first sound is heard
diastolic pressure
pressure at the time the sound stops
pulse pressure
difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
exercise
task performed to raise heart rate
A patient has the following symptoms: below normal blood pressure and edema in the hands, legs, and feet. Assume that the patient has damage to one of the ventricles of the heart. On the basis of the symptoms, which ventricle do you believe was damaged, and why?
The right ventricle because it pumps blood to the body via the aorta.
Assume a person has a total of 5000 ml. of blood. What sequence of cardiovascular changes would you expect to occur if 500 ml. were suddenly removed from the person, and why?
EPO would stimulate the producation of RBCs and facilitate their maturation to replenish blood loss.
In the person from the previous question, suppose the loss of blood continues constantly. What sequence of changes would you expect to occur, and why?
Very low blood pressure until the point of death
Nicotine is given to a person who does not normally use the drug. For each of these aspects of cardiovascular physiology, what effect, if any, do you expect, and why?
Increased peripheral resistance, heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure.
What is the class average pulse for females?
76
What is #1?
Cisterna chyli
What is #2?
Thoracic duct

Note: Leads to cisterna chyli
What is #1?

What is #2?
Palatine tonsil
What is #3?
