CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Flashcards
(33 cards)
What are the 4 chambers of the heart
LEFT AND RIGHT ATRIA
LEFT AND RIGHT VENTRICLE
Air flow in and out of the Lungs is :
>
INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE RESISTANCE OF THE AIRWAYS
After being pumped to the lungs by the right ventricle, the Oxygenated blood returns to the ______________ and moves to the _______________.
LEFT ATRIA
LEFT VENTRICLE
Blood flow (F) through a blood vessel dependent on two factors: -
-
PRESSURE GRADIENT
- DIFFERENCE IN PRESSURE FROM ONE END OF VESSEL TO ANOTHER
- RESISTANCE WITHIN VESSEL
- LONGER VESSEL, GREATER RESISTANCE
- SMALLER WIDTH, GREATER RESISTANCE
_______=heart rate x stroke vol.
CARDIAC OUTPUT
Oxygen (o2) exerts 160 mm Hg, what is the percentage of the atmosphere?
21%
Possible causes of ___________________;
- risk factors-obesity
- high sodium
- high cholesterol
- family history
HYPERTENSION
___________________
- 70 beats per min. (Approx.) during rest but varies depending on:
- age
- cardio-vascular conditioning.
RESTING HEART RATE
What are the two types of blood pressure ?
SYSTOLIC AND DIASTOLIC
The ________________ receives de-oxygenated blood from the head and other areas of the body.
RIGHT ATRIA
______________
-volume of blood pumped per beat (per stroke)
E.g. 65 milliliter (ml) per beat (=.01gallons)
Stroke volume
What are some causes of resistance when it comes to air flow in and out of the lungs ?
- stuffy nose
- asthma
- bronchitis
- emphysema
_______= P(pressure gradient)
——————————
R (vessel resistance)
BLOOD FLOW
______________________
-exchange of o2 and co2 within the cells
INTERNAL (CELLULAR) RESPIRATION
_____________________
An abnormal sound heard during examination. This is caused by altered blood flow into a chamber or through a valve. So are no significance, some can signal a cardiac problem.
HEAT MURMUR
__________________
-arterial blood pressure during a contraction of the heart (eg 120mm Hg)
SYSTOLIC
What are the two types of circulation when it comes to the Cardiovascular System ?
PULMONARY
SYSTEMIC
-lightheadedness, easy fatigability, headaches, angina if coronary arteries are involved. These are all symptoms of ______________
HYPERTENSION
_________________________
The partial pressure of oxygen ((po2)
Decreases at higher altitudes. Therefore, alveolar po2 is lower than normal o2 has a more difficult time diffusing from the alveoli into the blood.
HIGH ALTITUDE SICKNESS
Some treatments for ____________________
- low sodium diet
- reduce diet to control obesity
- adequate rest
- various types of drugs
HYPERTENSION
Carbon dioxide (co2) exerts .3mm Hg, what percentage ?
<1%
_____________________
- elevated blood pressure exceeding 140/90mm Hg
- thickened arterial wall, inelastic arterial walls, reduced blood flow.
HYPERTENSION
The _______________ circulation carries blood to and from the lungs
PULMONARY
At sea level the atmospheric pressure is ?
760 mm Hg
