what is a major difference beween action potentials and pacemaker pottentials in the pacemaker cells
page 93
26
what modulates the rate of pacemaker potential
autonomic division
27
explain autnimoc division how heart rate increaases and decreases
page 95
28
what initiates the electrical excitation of the heart and does it spread
pacemaker/autorythmic cells initiate the electrical excitation of the heart, and speads to neibourgingh cardiac cells via gap juncions in the interalaed discs
29
explain the events of conduction
page 96
30
what is the electrocardiogram
it is used to obtain infromation of the heart and heart rate records the electrical ativity at the surface of the skin using electrodes measure the voltage differentials occuring diring the cardiac cycle, signle contraction-relaxation of mechanical events 3 leads to make einthoven's triangle now 12 ECG leads`
31
what are the 3 waves of an ECG
P wave - depolarzation of Atria QRS complex - ventricular depolirazation T wave - repolirization of ventricles
32
talk about mechanical events and electrical events
mechanical events lag slightly behind electrical events
33
what are the 2 segmensts of an ECG
P-R segment, atrial contraction S-T segment, ventricular contraction, just after Q wave
34
what is the cardiac cycle
the cardiac cycle is the period from one heart beat to the next and has two phases 1. systole - contraction 2. diastole - relaxation
35
explain steps to cycle
page 100
36
explain the sounds of the heart
lub - due to closing of AV valves Dub - due to closing of semilunar valves
37
liquids and gasses flow from....
high pressure to areas of lower preaser
38
what happens when heart contracts
preassure increases, blood flows out of the heart to lower pressure areas
39
End distolic volume (EDV)
maximumvolume in venricle - endo of ventricular filling
40
End systolic volume (ESV)
minimum volume in ventricle, end of ventricular contraction
41
cardiac output
the amount of blood pumped byy the heart in one minute = heart ratexstroke volume stroke volume = EDV-ESV
42
factors influencing heart rate
1. parasympathetic stimulation - decreses heart rate, via vagus nerve, ach 2. sympathetic stimulation - increase heart rate, via great cardiac nerve, NE 3. plasma epinephrine (from adrenal medulla) - increases heart rate
43
factors influencing stroke volume
1. parasympathetic stimulation - decrease conractililty 2. sympathetic stimulation - increases contractility 3. plasma epinephrine - increases contractility 4. increased end-diastolic volume - increases stroke volume
44
what is a blood vessels structure
hollow tube made of lumen (central cavity) and wall( made of layers)
45
what are the walls of blood vessels
inner lining - endothelial celes make up the endothelium elastic connective tissue vascular smooth muscle - vasoconstriction (narrowing of vessel), vasodilation ( widening of the vessel) fibrous connective tissue
46
what are the types of blood vessels
artery - thick walled to withstand high pressure arteriole smallest arteries capillary - smallest blood vessel, exchange of material venule - smallest veins vein - transport blood at low pressure
47
why does blood flow
because of a pressure gradient (deltap) between the arteries (p1-highest) and viens (p2-lowest) flow is directly proportional to the pressure gradient
48
explain the factors hat influence blood flow
page 106
49
wheni is pressure increased or decreased
p inc when volume dec p dec by friction (occurs beetween blood and walls of the blood vessel
50
what is friction exerted by a tube
resistance
51
how does resistance and pressure difference play a role i blood pressure
flow is inversely proportional to resistance flow is proportional to pressure diff
52
how is resistance determined
lenghth, radius and viscosity, chanches in radius most important
53
what is blood presssure and what is the pulse
the driving pressure caused by the heart pumping, highest in arteries and lowest at point of return to the heart pulse is increase in pressure caused when ventricles contract and push blood into aorta
54
what are the two parts that make up blood pressure and how do you estimate it
1. systolic pressure: time when the heart is contracting - highest arterial pressure 2. diastolic pressure: time when the ventricle relaxes - lowest aterial pressure estimated using sphygmomenomety, cuff and stethescope shi
55
what is the mean arterial pressure (MAP)
since arterial pressure is pulsatile use a single value to represent driving pressure MAP = diastolic p +1/3 (systolic P - diastolic P)
56
what are the factors affecting MAP
cardiac output, changes in blood volume, peripheral resistance
57
how is regulation of blood presssure
coordinated by CNA - a homeostatic reflex
58
what does the bararoreceptors do for blood pressure
barororecetors are stretch sensetive mechanoreceptors found in vessel walls of the, corotid artery ( moniters blood pressure to brain) and Aorta (moniters blood pressure to body). and blood pressure is monterded though sensory input from them
59
explain bararoreceptor reflex
page 109
60
what is blood
circulating component of extracellular fluid responsible for carrying subsances around the body
61
what are the 4 major compnents of blood
plasme - fluid portion of the blood red blood cells - erythocytes white blood cells - leukocutes plaelets - thormbocytes
62
red blood cell
- biconcave in shape - most ubundant cells in blood -contain protien haemoglobin - major fnction of erythocytes is gas transport - humans, RBC's lack a nucleas and mitochondria so no protien synthesis and no energy produced by oxidative phosphrylation
63
white blood cells
1. lyphocytes 2. monocytes 3. granulocytes (3 types) - nuetrophils -esunophils -basophils macrophages and neutrophils are the professional phagocutes in the body
64
platelets
- involves in blood clotting - derived from megakaryocytes, pinch off and have no nucleus
65
why haemoglobin synthesis
required for RBC function to transport oxygen
66
explain haemoglobin synthesis
page 112
67
bohr effect
A shift in haemoglobin saturation due to pH
68
haematopoieis and where are all blood cells produced
blood formation red bone marrow
69
what are cells that arise from a single precursor, and what are thier typees
pluripotent hematopitc stem scell, uncommited stemm cells still capble of many fates and progenitor sells are committed to one or two cell types
70
cytokines
small peptides/protiens secreted by one cell to send signals to another, chooses path for blood formation and splits them by factor
71
leukposis
formation of leukocytes (white blood cells) that is regulated by the colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) cytokines released by leukocyts regulate further leukocyte production
72
colony-stimulating factors(CSFs)
CSFs are released by endothelial cells, morrow fibroblasts and white blood cells induce cell division and cell maturation in stem cells
73
thrombopoiesis, how they formed what they contain, when are they active
megakaryocytes are parent cells that produce platelets (thrombocytes) growth and maturation are regulated by cytokine theombopoietin platelets no nuclues but contain mitochindria, smooth ER and granules filled with clotting protiens and cytokines platelets are always present in the blood, but active only when damage has occured to the walls of the circulotory system
74
megakaryocyte
a polypoid cell with a lobed nuclues, parent cells that produce platelets (thrombocytes) megakaryocyte resides in the bone marrow and extends is outer edges through the endothelium into blood stream
