95
Q

What is another word for rib muscles?

A

Intercostal muscles.

96
Q

During inhalation, what happens to diaphragm and rib muscles?

A

They contract and the diaphragm moves down to allow rib cage to expand. The volume in the lungs increase.

97
Q

During exhalation, what happens to the diaphragm and the rib muscles?

A

They relax, the diaphragm moves up resulting in an increase of air pressure, which moves air from lungs to a lower pressure environment.

98
Q

One way to remember air pressure is…

A

Air moves from regions of higher pressure to lower pressure.

99
Q

What is tidal volume?

A

Volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled when body is resting.

100
Q

What is inspiratory reserve volume?

A

Additional volume of air that can be taken into lungs during inhalation.

A

Pulmonary semilunar valve (to pulmonary artery) and aortic semilunar valve (from pulmonary vein)

116
Q

What is the difference between an artery and an arteriole?

A

They both carry blood away from the heart, but arterioles are smaller than arteries, they connect to the capillaries.

117
Q

What is the smaller vein called?

A

Venule

118
Q

What is the structural difference between arteries and veins?

A

Artery walls are elastic like, they can expand because of blood flow. Veins are thinner and have a larger circumference. They also have valves to make sure there isn’t back flow of blood.

119
Q

What are the three blood circuits?

A

Pulmonary circulation, systemic circulation, and cardiac circulation

120
Q

Pulmonary circulation is…

A

Movement of blood from heart to lungs and back to heart. This is the circuit where gas exchange takes place and oxygenated blood re-enters the heart.

121
Q

Systemic circulation is…

A

Movement of blood from heart to body and back to heart. After circulating the body blood returns carrying CO2 waste, re-enters pulmonary circuit.

122

124
Q

White blood cells are also known as…

A

Leukocytes

125
Q

What is vasodilation and vasoconstriction?

A

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels to sweat and cool body temperature down. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels to elicit shivering to keep the body warm.

126
Q

What is the sinoatrial node?

A

Stimulates right atrium to contract.

127
Q

Explain the electrical signals of the heart.

A

SA node contracts right atrium and relays to AV node to the bundle of His. From there, the bundle of His relays in the two branches of purkinje fibres which contracts the ventricles.

128
Q

What are the two heart sounds “lub-DUB” telling us about which valves are closing in out hearts?

A

Lub is the closing of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves. The DUB is the closing of the semilunar valves pumping blood into the arteries.

129
Q

In an ECG list all the waves and what signals are sent in the heart.

A

P-wave: SA nodes fire, atria contracts.
QSR complex: AV nodes fire, ventricles contract, AV valves close.
T-wave: ventricles relax, semi-lunar valves close.

130
Q

What is systole? What is diastole?

A

Systole is max blood pressure and diastole is min blood pressure.

131
Q

What is the angioplasty procedure?

A
