Q

Describe single circulatory system Eg) fish

A

Blood in body brought by veins into heart
Heart pumps deoxygenated blood to gills
Blood becomes oxygenated and CO2 released
Oxygenated blood distributed by arteries around body
Capillaries deliver oxygen to tissues

Q

Describe the two circuits of double circulatory system

A

Pulmonary circulation: deoxygenated blood travels from heart to lungs where it is oxygenated and then teturns to heart

Systematic circulation: oxygenated blood travels from heart to whole body and back to heart

What does atrioventricular node do?

A

Spreads impulse

37

What is the Bohr effect?

A

More oxygen dissociation in CO2 rich environment

38

What is the chloride shift?

A

Cl- diffuse into red blood cell to balance charge and make up for hydrogen carbonate ions

39
Q

What does carbonic acid release?

A

H+ protons

40
Q

Where does hydrogen carbonate diffuse out of?

A

Erythrocytes

41
Q

Foetal haemoglobin

A

Needs stronger affinity for O2 because it is saturated at lower pressure

42
Q

What is haemoglobin made of?

A

4 globular proteins and 1 iron ion

43
Q

What is bradycardia?

A

Evenly spaced heart rate

44

What is trachycardia?

A

Fast heart rate but evenly spaced

45
Q

What is Ectopic heart beat?

A

Altered rhythm

46
Q

What is Atrial fibrillation?

A

Abnormal and irregular rhythm

47
Q

What is positive cooperativity?

A

Haemoglobin changing shape for easier binding of oxygen molecules

48
Q

What helps the heart to not over-distend with blood?

A

Inelastic pericardial membrane

49
Q

Hydrostatic pressure

A

High pressure of blood at arterial end of capillary
Forces flood out of blood and into tissue

50
Q

Oncotic pressure

A

Plasma proteins lower water potential of blood plasma
Water can move back into blood by osmosis

51
Q

Relationship between hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure at arterial end of capillary

A

Hydrostatic > oncotic

52
Q

Ultrafiltration

A

Tissue fluid forced out of capillary through endothelial cell gaps

53
Q

Relationship between hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure at venous end of capillary

A

Hydrostatic < oncotic
