through the right and left Pulmonary bifurcation to the Capillary Bed in the lungs

From the Lungs, where does blood circulate to?

through the Pulmonary Veins into the LA




*systemic system

Blood from ALL systems flow into the ____________________.

Right Atrium

Right Atrial pressure is regulated by? (2)

  1. ability to pump blood out of the RA
  2. tendency of blood to flow from the peripheral vessels into the RA

What is considered the Central Venous Pressure?

blood flow into the RA from all systems

Elevated

Name 3 causes of elevated Right Atrial pressure.

increased blood volume


increased large vessel tone


dilatation of the arterioles

The amount of blood pumped out of the heart is called?

Cardiac Output

Cardiac Output is dependent upon which 2 things?

  1. ability of the heart to pump
  2. tendency of blood to flow into the heart from peripheral vessels

Systemic (left heart)

Which side of the heart has a high Oxygen Saturation of 95%?

Left Heart

The highest Oxygen Saturation is from the _________________ ____________.

Pulmonary Veins




*coming from the lungs

Which part of the Heart has the lowest Oxygen Saturation?

arteries

_______________ _____________ is controlled by the sum of all the local tissues.

Cardiac Output

________________ ________________ needs help from the Nervous System to assure the required amount of blood is re-circulated.

Cardiac Output

The ______________ System takes over when tissue is not getting enough oxygen.

Nervous System

Arterial Pressure is controlled independent of which 2 factors?

  • local blood flow control
  • Cardiac Output

Within seconds of pressure dropping below Mean level of ___________ mmHg, the Nervous System makes changes to raise the pressure back to normal.
