Atrioventricular valve is where and what does it do?
It a valve that separates the atrium from the ventricles
Pulmonary valve
Opens from the right ventricle into the pulmonary atery
Serous pericardium
covers the heart surfaces
Disastole ventricles
relax and fill with blood from the atrium
How the movement of blood occurs
it occurs when the blood from the atrium is building pressure from the atrium is being pressed on the ventricles. Or in other words the pressure is higher in the atrium than in the ventricles
What percent of blood flows into the ventricles
80%
What happens with the blood during the contraction of the atrium
The force is powerful enough to push the remaining blood into the ventricles
Systole
Ventricles contract that make pressure to close the AV valves
Now the the blood is in the ventricles. where does the blood go now?
The pressure in the ventricles causes the semilunar valves to open.
Once the semilunar valves open what happens as a result of this
Ejection of blood
Where does the ejection of blood go to when its ejected from the pulmonary arteries ?
the right ventricle
Where does the ejection of blood go to when it is ejected from the aorta
the left ventricle
When ejections has occured
the ventricle pressure slows down and causes the semilunar valves to close
HOw many impulses does the SA node discharge?
60 to 100 impulses
What is the first step in the conduction system of the heart
the SA Node or the pacemaker
What is the second step in the conduction system
Atrioventricular node
What is the 3rd step of the conduction system
Antrioventricular bundle or Bundle of HIs
What is the 4th step of the conduction system
Right and Left bundle branches
What is the 5th step of the conduction stems
the purkinje fibers, that help cause relaxation of the heart
What is the primary purpose of the AV
preventing excessive discharge
What happens if the SA node fails? How many impulses can this node help if the SA node fails?
The AV node can help with the failure of the SA node. It can only make up for 40 to 60 impulses per minute
What happens if the nodes fail?
The bundle branches can contract and can create very slow impulses at 20 to 40 pulses
what are the purposes of the veins, capillaries, and arteries?
Is the blood flow back and forth from the tissues
What kind of arteries can take a lot of pressure? How is this pressure made
Tensile and arterioles that pressure is made from teh myocardial contraction
How is blood pressure maintained by the arteries?
by constricting or dilating
What kind of protein is mostly found in the lymphatic fluid?
Albumin
What are the factors the can affect the heart
lifestyle, age, and disease
What is S1
It is the "Lub" sound that means that the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve is closing
What is S2
Closing of the aortic valve and the pulmonic valve
What are the common diseases to ask about during an assesment of the cardiac system
Diabetes, renal failure, chronic hypoxia, or hypertension
Bruit
That is the rushing (swooshy sound) or blowing sound as the blood is passing through a narrowed section of the vessel. This is examined during carotid pulses.
what does it mean if you hear a bruit sound
It means that this person generally could have a plugged artery
What is the 3rd heart sound
It is known as the ventriclular gallop, occurs near the end of diastole or when the atrium contracts
What is the sound of the 3rf heart sound
It occurs during the inspiration process and sounds like Ken tuc ky broken up
What happens if the 3rd sound of the heart is in the early diastolic stage
It means rapid ventricle filling. And it is creating a sound against the walls
What happens if you hear 3rd sounds of the heart. Key thing what does it mean?
Possibly could mean Congestive heart failure or fluid over flow
Which part of the stethoscope do you use for listening to S1 and S2
The diaphragm for higher pitched sounds
What part of the stethoscope do you use for listening to S3 and S4
The bell for lower pitched sounds
Where do you hear atrial gallop
at the end of diastole when the atrium is contracted
Left ventricle S4 what can you hear here and on the right ventricle
the apical area for left. Lower right ventricle area you can hear here
In the S4 sounds what does it sound like during inspiration
a lot like Tennessee
What is the significance of hearing the S4 sound
It occurs during artrial contraction that cause rapid blood flow into the ventricles
What is the clinical signifcance to knowing about the S4 sounds ?
CAD and
Where is S1 loudest
In the mitral area
Where is S2 loudest
Pulmonic area
How do you grade a murmur
Barley audible, quiet but you can hear it, clearly hear (3), Loud WITH associated thrill (4), Loud but can be heard with stethoscope and can see a little on the chest (5), Loud enough to notice it without the stethoscope (6)
What is the main cause of murmurs
Regurgitation
What is regurgitation
It is when the valve should be closed but it is not. This causes back flow
Stenosis is ?
Is when the valve is open and blood flow is forced through a stiff valve
What are some Physiological murmurs
increased cardiac out put stats
What are some systolic murmurs
Mitral regurgitation, Tricuspid regurgitation , mitral valve palpase, aortic stenosis, pulmonic stenosis
What are some diastolic murmurs
Mitral stenosis, tricuspid stenosis, aortic regurgitation and pulmonic regurgitation
Systole is
Related to s1 heart sounds of the mitral and tricuspid vales closing and the aortic and pulmonic valves opening
Diastole
IS heard with S2 with mitral and tricupid opening and the pulmonic and aortic valves opening
What is the grading for peripheral edema
1+- 2mm, 2+=4mm, 3+=6mm, 4+=8mm
