41
What muscles are used for active breathing
Diaphragm, neck, intercoastal, abdominal, pectoral
42
Difference between ventilation and respiration
Ventilation= the act of breathing in and out
Respiration= the gas exchange
43
How does gas exchange occur in the alveoli
Gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli by a process called diffusion, which occurs between the surface of alveoli and pulmonary capillary beds. Oxygen, once inhaled into the lungs, is passed from the alveoli into the bloodstream for distribution to the rest of the body.
44
What part of the body controls breathing
Diaphragm
45
What molecule controls breathing rate
Carbon dioxide
46
What is the difference between Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
Arteries- carries blood from heart to body
Veins- carries blood from body to heart
Capillaries- allows transfer of O2, CO2, nutrients, and waste between body tissue and blood
47
Areas you can determine pulse
Carotid(neck), radius (wrist), femoral (groin), brachial (Bicep), popliteal(back of knee).
48
Components of the blood and their function
Red blood cells- carry O2 to cells and transport CO2 away from cells and to the lungs
Luekocytes- fight infection
Plasma- contains electrolytes and fluid
Platelets- clot blood
49
Difference between systole and diastole
Systole- pressure when the heart contracts
Diastole- pressure when the heart is at rest
50
What is cardiac output and how is it determined
-the volume of blood that the heart pumps per minute
Determined by the equation heart rate × stroke volume= cardiac output
51
What is vascular resistance
How dialated/Constricted the blood vessels are
52
What does the parasympathetic nervous system do to the heart? Sympathetic?
Parasympathetic- slows the heart and makes it beat more weakly
Sympathetic- controls the release of epinephrine/norepinephrine to stimulate the heart and blood vessels. Improves ability to cope with stress/ engages fight or flight
53
3 parts of the brain stem
Midbrain, pons, Medulla oblongata
54
What does the brain stem do
Controls things such as breathing, heart rate, sleeping, consciousness, BP, temp regulation, swallowing and coughing.
55
8 types of shock
1. Cardiogenic
2. Obstructive
3. Distributive
A. Septic
B. Neurogenic
C. Anaphylactic
D. Psychogenic
4. Hypovolemic
