  • 3rd side (hint)

Which parts of the heart pump deoxygenated blood?

Right atrium to right ventricle

Which parts of the heart involve oxygenated blood?

Left atrium, left ventricle, aorta

Strongest chamber of the heart is:

Left ventricle

Arteries are contracted by what muscle?

Smooth

Veins are contracted by what muscles?

Skeletal and smooth

Describe systematic and pulmonary circulation?

Systematic: pumps oxygenated blood away from the heart and then becomes deoxygenated and goes back to the right side of the heart


Pulmonary: pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs to become oxygenated and then pumps to the rest of the body

Arteries are under a _________ than veins.

Higher

Blood volume in arteries and veins are called:

A: stressed volume


V: unstressed volume

Which part of the blood system has the highest proportion?

Veins

Which blood vessel has the highest resistance?

Arterioles

Resistance of arterioles is controlled by:

ANS

Which arterioles contain alpha-1 adrenergic receptors?

Renal, splanchnic, skin

Three different places

Which arterioles contain beta-1 adrenergic receptors?

Skeletal muscle

Blood flow velocity depends on two factors:

Blood flow


Cross-sectional area, capillary arterioles

Formula for velocity blood flow:

V = Q/A

Which artery has the highest velocity blood flow?

Aorta

Low velocity blood flow in capillaries help with:

Gas exchange

Blood flow is determined by what two factors:

Pressure and total peripheral resistance

How is blood flow related to resistance?

Increased blood flow when there's decreased resistance; vice versa

Resistance of blood vessels rely on three factors:

Length of the blood vessel, radius of vessel, viscosity

Capacitance is inversely proportional to:

Elasticity of blood vessel

What does capacitance measure?

Distensbility of the blood vessel

More elasticity of the blood vessel means _________ capacitance.

Lower

List the pressure in the following blood vessels:


Aorta


Arterioles


Capillaries


IVC and SVC

100 mmHg


50 mmHg


20 mmHg


4 mmHg

What is the systolic and diastolic pressure?

Systolic: highest arterial pressure when the heart contracts


Diastolic; lowest arterial pressure when the heart relaxes

Two factors that effect blood pressure:

Cardiac output and TPR

Factors that cause primary hypertension:

-stress, dietary Na, obesity


-over stimulation of sympathetic system,


-over secretion of aldosterone via renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system


-lack of vasodilators

4

Two examples of vasodilators:

Prostaglandin and bradykinin

How does the adrenal gland cause hypertension?

Any disorders of a.gland cause hypertension;


Secretes endocrine hormones which increase BP


cortisol secreted by adrenal cortex also increases BP

Three reasons; hormones

What is a tumor of the adrenal gland that can cause hypertension?

Phemochromocytoma

What is Cushing's syndrome and how does it effect hypertension?

Secretes alesterol, cortisol, and androgen increasing BP

What is conns disease?

Hyperaldesteronism: over producing alesterone cells

What occurs in coaractation?

Aorta narrows after the arch

Examples of kidney disorders:

Polycystic kidney disease, kidney tumor, kidney disease


Destruction, abstraction or closure of this blood vessel and its organ will lead to hypertension:

Renal vessels and kidney tissue

Types of drugs that cause hypertension:

Corticosteroids: presdinosone


And non-steroidal inflammatory drugs: Motrin, aleve


Weight loss pills

What is preeclampsia?

Post partum hypertension

Effects of preeclampsia on the newborn?

Infant comes out smaller than average

Which hormone secretes excess calcium causing hypertension (thyroid or parathyroid)?

Parathyroid

What are types of drugs that treat hypertension?

Angiotensin blockers/ inhibitors


Calcium channel blockers


Beta-adrenergic blockers


Dieuretics
