T/F All blood from lower extremities drains into the IVC.
|
False. The azygous vein drains the lumbars into the SVC
|
|
Pulmonary artery carries _____ blood, and the umbilical artery carries _____ blood.
|
BOTH carry DEoxygenated blood. Only 2 exceptions to the rule.
|
|
In the lungs, the blood is oxygenated via the _____ effect.
|
Bohr
|
|
Pulmonary vein carries _____ blood, and the umbilical vein carries _____ blood.
|
BOTH carry Oxygenated. Only 2 exceptions to the rule
|
|
__% of hemoglobin is saturated with O2
|
97%
|
|
What is the Bohr Effect (in the lungs)?
|
CO2 diffuses from the blood to the alveoli. This reduces blood CO2 levels, along with the H+ ion concentration. This increases the quantity of O2 that binds to hemoglobin, allowing more O2 to tissues (SORRY)
|
|
P-wave is known as what?
|
Atrial DEpolarization
|
|
P-R interval is known as what?
|
Isovolumic contraction
|
|
What is special about the purkinje system in the ventricle?
|
it's 400x faster than any other neurons in the heart
|
|
Why is the purkinje system in the ventricle 400x faster than any other neurons in the heart?
|
uses intercalated discs and gap junctions
|
|
What prevents the AV valves from blowing back during ventricular contration?
|
Chordae tendonae + papillary muscles
|
|
T-wave is also known as what?
|
Ventrcular repolarization
|
|
S-T segment is also known as what?
|
Isovolumic relaxation (no blood in ventricles; valves closed)
|
|
When looking at an EKG, what signifies an MI?
|
inverted T-wave, or altered S-T segment
|
|
What does an inverted T-wave or altered S-T segment mean in an EKG?
|
MI
|
|
In an EKG, prevention of heart tetany is from what?
|
Slow Calcium channels (AKA Long absolute refractory period, AKA Plateaus)
|
|
What characteristic of the heart allows it to beat on its own?
|
Autorhythmicity (AKA automatic conductivity)
|
|
Autorhythmicity is AKA what?
|
automatic conductivity
|
|
Heart can beat on its own due to what?
|
leaky NA channels
|
|
By looking at an EKG, what signifies a primary heart block?
|
elongated PR interval
|
|
What is Winkbocks phenomena?
|
secondary heart block. Elongation of PR interval until the atria have contracted twice
|
|
By looking at an EKG, how can you tell a complete block?
|
no relationship between P and QRS. (all random)
|
|
What is the m/c/c of CHF?
2nd m/c/c? |
Essential hypertension (35-55). 2nd = aortic stenosis
|
|
What happens when blood backs up in the left ventricle?
|
ventricular hypertrophy
|
|
What happens when blood backs up into left atrium and the lungs?
|
pulmonary edema/hypertension. Exertional dyspnea (difficulty breathing on mild exertion)
|
|
What is the m/c/c of R sided heart failure?
|
L-sided heart failure
|
|
Is it possible to have isolated R-sided heart failure? (not as a result from L-sided failure)
|
Yes. It's called Cor Pulmonale. Must result from a lung condition (emphysema, pnewumonia, etc.)
|
|
What is isolated R-sided heart failure known as?
|
Cor Pulmonale
|
|
How can you tell when you have blood backed up into the SVC?
|
pulsation of the jugular veins
|
|
How can you tell when you have blood backed up into the IVC?
|
Blood backs up into legs and liver
|
|
What happens when blood backs up into the internal iliacs?
|
it will eventually go to the pudendal area, and you will get the "bag of worms" (varicocele)
|
|
What happens when blood backs up into the external iliacs?
|
eventually backs up in the femoral vein and then the Great saphenous vein on the medial side of the foot, or the small/lesser saphenous on the lateral side of the foot
|
|
What vein is the longest vein and used for coronary bypass?
|
great saphenous
|
|
What is the sign of early stages of CHF?
|
Exertional dyspnea (difficulty breathing with mild exertion)
|
|
What is the sign of later stages of CHF?
