Q

Flow of blood through heart
Step 1
Right atrium

A

Deoxygenated blood is returned
here from the upper superior vena cava and
the lower inferior vena cava. Blood passes
through the right atrioventricular valve (AV
valve, or tricuspid valve) to the right
ventricle. AV valve is attached to papillary
muscles, which contract to close the AV valves
and prevent backflow of blood.

Q

Flow of blood through heart
Step 2
Right ventricle

A

Pumps deoxygenated blood
through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the
pulmonary artery. Blood enters pulmonary
circulation. When the ventricle contracts, the
AV valve is closed and the pulmonary
semilunar valve is open. When the ventricle
relaxes, the AV valve is open to refill the
ventricle, and the pulmonary semilunar valve
closes to prevent the backflow of blood.

A

1) located in the
upper wall of the right atrium
2) initiates the cardiac cycle.
3) It sends a
signal to contract both atria to send blood to

Q

What kind of signal is sent by the AV node?

A

also sends a signal to the bundle of His,
located in the interventricular septum
between the ventricles. The bundle of His

contract the ventricles.

Q

When does Systole happen?

A

occurs right after the ventricles eject their
blood into the arteries they connect to. Therefore,
it is the phase of the cardiac cycle where blood
pressure is highest in the arteries.

Q

When does diastole happen?

A

occurs right after the atria contract to fill
the ventricles. The myocardium is completely
relaxed at this point. Diastole is the phase of the
cardiac cycle where blood pressure is lowest in the
arteries.

26

between | next
27
What is Signal transduction
The heart has intercalated discs that connect adjacent heart cells (cardiomyocytes). Intercalated discs are made of desmosomes and gap junctions and function to transmit the signal to contract in a coordinated, rhythmic fashion.
28
What is heart rate
is how fast the heart beats. Tachycardia is greater than 100 beats per minute, bradycardia is less than 60 beats per minute.
29
What is Stroke volume (SV)
the volume of blood pumped from the heart with each beat. Stroke volume is calculated by subtracting end-systolic volume from end-diastolic volume.
30
What is Cardiac output (CO)
stroke volume multiplied by the heart rate. This tells us the volume of blood being pumped by the heart in 1 minute.
31
What is Total peripheral resistance (TPR) is
the total amount of resistance that blood faces when flowing through the vasculature of the body. Vasoconstriction increases TPR, while vasodilation decreases TPR.
32
What is Systolic blood pressure
the highest pressure in your arteries when your ventricles contract. This is the top number in a blood pressure reading. 120/80 → 120 mmHg is the systolic pressure.
33
Diastolic blood pressure
is the pressure in your arteries while the heart is relaxing between beats. This is the bottom number in a blood pressure reading. 120/80 → 80 mmHg is the diastolic pressure.
34
Mean arterial pressure (MAP)
the average arterial pressure during one complete cardiac cycle. It is calculated by multiplying your cardiac output by your total peripheral resistance. ``` MAP = CO x TPR MAP = (HR x SV) x TP ```
35
Vessels transport ____ to and from the heart in a closed circulatory system. Arteries move blood ____ from the heart, while veins move blood ____ the heart.
Blood away towards
36
Does arteries or veins have higher blood pressure and why
Arteries | due to the hydrostatic pressure from the heart.
37
Arteries branch off into smaller arteries called what
arterioles (This is where we see the greatest drop | of blood pressure.)
38
Arterioles branch further into what?
capillaries
39
Capillaries are
vessels that are 1 cell thick and diffuse gas and nutrients to the interstitial fluid.
40
(Note: even though arterioles see the greatest drop in BP, they are not where BP is lowest. BP is lowest in the veins) T/F
T
41
Functions of capilaries
collect waste and CO2 and enter a venule, which then connects to a vein, which brings the blood back to the heart. Blood moves back to the heart by a series of valves within the veins that prevents backflow of blood. Skeletal muscles squeeze the veins to push the blood forward, it is not the pumping of the heart that moves blood through the veins.
42
Veins contain more blood by volume than arteries | and have the lowest blood pressure of all vessels.
T/F
43
What is plasma made out of
contains water, proteins, nutrients, hormones, and makes up most of the blood volume. Makes up ~55% of blood volume.
44
White blood cells (leukocytes)
are our immune cells and defend against infection. The most common white blood cell is the neutrophil.
45
Platelets (thrombocytes) | function
cell fragments that do not have a nucleus, they are responsible for clotting. Platelets release factors that help convert fibrinogen into fibrin, which creates a ‘net’ to stop bleeding. Many of the clotting factors are synthesized with Vitamin K, a deficiency in Vitamin K will lead to increased bleeding.
46
precursor of platelets in large bone marrow cells
megakaryocytes
47
how much of leukocytes and thrombocytes make up of blood volume?
less than 1 percent
48
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
responsible for transporting oxygen attached to hemoglobin. Mature red blood cells are anucleate (they don’t have a nucleus) in order to maximize the amount of space they have to carry hemoglobin and oxygen. Makes up ~45% of blood volume.
49
Red blood cells have ____ on their surfaces
antigens
50
What are antigens made of and their function
little sugars and protien that mark our blood as a certian type.
51
Type a blood has what antigen
A antigen
52
Type b blood has what antigen
B antigen
53
Type AB blood has what antigen
both A and B antigen
54
Type O blood has what antigen
neither A or B antigen
55
Another surface protein besides antigen called
Rhesus factor (Rh)
56
Two types of RH
+ and -
57
If a donor is Rh(+) , they cannot donate to someone who is Rh(-), because the donor has antigens on the surface of the blood cell. T/F
True
58
What is a universal donar?
(blood donor who can donate to anyone) is O (-). O blood type has neither A nor B surface antigens, and O (-) blood also does not have an Rh surface antigen. This means there are no blood cell surface antigens that would stimulate immune clearance by someone receiving the O (-) blood.
59
What is universal acceptor?
AB (+). Because an AB (+) person has both A and B cell surface antigens, as well as an Rh surface antigen, they can receive any blood type and not mount an immune response. Any blood cell surface antigen they receive would be something their blood cells already have.
60
Where does fetus gets their oxygen and nutrients?
from the placenta through the umbilical cord which gets its oxygen from the mother
61
Because the fetus gets its oxygen through the placenta, the blood in its heart does not need to go to the pulmonary system (to the lung) – it is not exposed to air. Instead, what happens?
the oxygenated blood in the right atrium goes directly to the left atrium through a hole in the heart called foramen ovale.
62
How is the waste and carbon dioxide removed from the fetus?
removed from the right ventricle to the umbilical cord
63
The mothers and the fetus blood mixes in the placenta T/F
False. does not mix
64
Placenta provides an exchange of _____ and _____ across a barrier
gas and nutrients
65
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
A concept that is occasionally tested is if the mother has Rh (-) blood type and the fetus has Rh (+) blood. During labor, the fetal Rh (+) blood will enter the mother’s system, and she will develop anti-Rh antibodies. This will not pose a problem in the first pregnancy, but if the mother becomes pregnant again with another Rh (+) fetus, the mother’s anti-Rh antibodies will attack the fetus, because antibodies are small enough to cross the placental barrier.
66
Where does Nutrient and gas exchange occur
level of the capillaries
67
Hydrostatic pressure does what
pushes fluid out of the capillaries on the arteiral end into interstitial space
68
Oncotic pressure, does what
a type of osmotic pressure, brings fluid back into the capillaries at the venule end. However, not all the fluid is reabsorbed from the interstitial space into the venule.
69
lymphatic capillaries collect what remaining fluid
lymph which consists of interstitial fluid, | bacteria, fats, and proteins.
70
The lymphatic capillaries _____ together to form larger vessels that travel to the heart.
merge
71
lymph is filtered through____ which are centers for the immune response system to eliminate infections.
lymph nodes
72
lymph is filtered through lymph nodes, which are centers for the immune response system to eliminate infections. T/F
True
73
How is backflow of lymph prevented?
system of valves that prevents backflow of blood
