(type of white blood cell)
in a stain you can't see nucleus, only dark blue/purple granules can be seen, when they are out of the bloodstream they are called mast cells

(type of white blood cell)

eosinophils
release histaminase, phagocytize antigenantibody complexes and effective against certain parasitic worms

reduced friction, secreted into pericardial cavity
function of blood - transportation
gases, nutrients, hormones, waste products
function of blood - regulation
pH, body temperature, osmotic pressure
function of blood - protection
clotting, white blood cells, proteins
formed elements of blood
(cells and cell fragments)
red blood cells, white blood cells, plateletes
blood plasma
91.5% water, 8.5% solutes (primarily proteins)
epicardium (external layer)
epicardium - visceral layer
vsceral layer of serous pericardium
-smooth, slippery texture to outermost surface
myocardium
95% of heart - cardiac muscle
plasma proteins
albumins, fibrimogens, antibodies
endocardium
(inner layer) smooth lining for hcambers of heart, valves and continuous lining of large blood vessels
other solutes in blood
electrolytes, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, gases, and waste products
chambers of the heart
2 atria (recieving chambers), 2 ventricles (pumping chambers)
sulci
grooves
-contain coronary blood vessels, coronary sulcus, anterial interventricular sulcus, posterior interventricular sulcus
auricles
increase capacity of atria
pluripotent stem cells
have the ability to develop into many different types of cells
formation of blood - negative feedback system
red blood cells & plateletes
stem cells in bone marrow
reproduce themselves, proliferate and differentiate, formed elements do not divide once they leave red bone marrow (exception is lymphocytes)
ligamentum arteriosum
connects the two major blood vessels (connects pulmonary trunk and aorta)
-remnant of a duct that was there in fetal life)
right atrium recieves blood from
superior vena cava, inferior vena cava coronary sinus
interatrial septum has fossa ovalis
remnant of foramen ovale, PFO
blood from right atrium passes through..
tricuspid valve (right trioventricular valve) into right ventricle
in a fetal heart...
the right atria is connected to left atria
by the foramen ovale
pluripotent stem cells give rise to
myeloid stem cells & lymphoid stem cells
PFO
persistent foramen ovale: condition when baby is born and foramen ovale between 2 atria does not close
myeloid stem cells give rise to
red blood cells, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils,
eosinophilsand basophils
formen ovale closes when..
baby is born when baby takes first breath
lymphoid stem cells give rise to
lympocytes
Glycopyrrolate

(Robinul)
Anticholinergic/ Antisialagogue
Dries up secretions, Prevents Bradycardia
Dose: Secretions: (IV) 0.004mg/kg. Prevent Brady: (IV) 0.1-0.4 mg
AE: relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter.
right atrium recieves blood from
superior vena cava, inferior vena cava coronary sinus
interatrial septum has fossa ovalis

hemopoeitic growth factor: Erythropoietin-
red blood cells
auscultation
heart sounds
sound of heartbeat comes primarily from...
blood turbulence and vibration caused by closing of heart valves
lubb
AV valves close
dupp
SL valves close
# of heart sounds in each cardiac cycle
4
but only 2 are loud enough to be heard
physicological/innocent murmurs
normal murmurs that can sometime sbe heard in an athletic heart
pathologial murmurs
murmurs to be worried about
CO
volume of blood ejected from left (or right) ventricle into aorta (or pulmonary trunk) each minute
how to calculate CO
stroke volume (SV) x heart rate (HR)
cardiac reserve
difference between maximum CO and CO at rest (avg cardiac reserve 4-5 times resting value)
3 factors ensure left and right ventricles pump equal volumes of blood
1. preload
2. contractility
3. afterload
preload
degree of stretch of the heart before it contracts
greater preload...
increases the force of contraction
Frank-Starling law of the heart
the more the heart fills with blood during diastole, the greater the force of contraction during systole
contractility
strength of contraction at any given preload
positive inotropic agents...
..increase contractility
-often promote calcium inflow during cardiac action potential
-increase stroke volume
-epinephrine, norepinephrine, digitalis
negative inotropic agents...
...decrease contractility
-anoxia, acidosis, some anesthetics and increased K+ in interstitial fluid
afterload
pressure that must be overcome before a semilunar valve can open
-increase in afterload causes stroke volume to decrease (blood remains in ventricle at the end of systole)
cardiac output depends on...
heart rate & stroke volume
hypertension and atherosclerosis increase
afterload
adjustment in heart rate important in..
short-term control of cardiac output and blood pressure
autonomic nervous system (symp. and parasymp.) and epinephrine/norepinephrine..
most important
wtf?
autonomic regulation originates in..
cardiovascular center of medulla oblongata- increases or decreases frequency of nerve impulses in both sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of ANS
if you titlt head down and heart is a above head
barrer receptors tell cardiac center to reduce pressure.. heart rate and cradiac output is reduced.
the pressure can rupture the blood vessels of the brain
hormones [chemical regulation]
-epinephrine and norepinephrine increase heart rate and contractility
-thyroid hormones also increase heart rate and contractility
cations
-ionic imbalance can compromise pumping effectiveness
-relative concentration of K+, CA2+ & NA+ important
caffeine
-psychoactive agent- interferes with the adenosine pathway- mimics the function of adrenaline
-increases heart rate and contractility of the heart
-diuretic
venous return
-volume of blood flowing back to heart through systemic veins
why does venous return occur? (3 things)
occurs due to pressure generated by muscular activity, breathing (respiratory pump), and ventricular suction
velocity of blood flow
speed is INVERSELY related to crosssectional area
velocity of blood is slowest...
where total cross sectional area is greatest
