Q

feedback of RBC production

A

Hypoxia stimulates release of erhythropoietin (EPO) from the kidneys
EPO stimulates Proerythroblasts in red bone marrow to mature into reticulocytes (immature RBC)
these enter circulation increasing # and thus increasing amount of O2 delivery

25
myocardium
middle layer of heart wall; pumping action; muscle fibers connect via intercalated discs and electrically via gap junctions
26
Endocardium
simple squamous epithelium lines inside of myocardium and covers valves and tendons of heart
27
Auricle
pouch like extensions at surface of each atrium, increase capacity of each atrium to hold greater volume of blood
28
Chordae tendineae/papillary muscles (only in AV valve)
in atrioventricular valves (AV); chords that are anchored to papillary muscle then to ventricle walls; these are slack when blood is moving into ventricle; contraction of papillary muscle tightens chordae and prevents valve from opening
29
SA node
main cardiac pacemaker located in RA; receives inputs from ANS; sends impulses to atria via gap junctions; initiates APs about 100X/min
30
AV node
in interatrial septum; receives AP from SA node; here the APs slow giving time for atria to empty
31
Bundle of HIS
receive AP from AV; within the interventricular septum; **only site where APs can conduct from atria to ventricle; then enter bundle branches
32
Purkinje Fibers
rapidly conduct AP from apex of ventricle then to remainder of ventricular myocardium
33
Arterioles
single layer of endothelium and very few muscle fibers, plays role in BP regulation via constriction and dilation
34
capillaries
consist of thin wall of endothelium and basement membrane
35
Capillary exchange (mention filtration and reabsoprtion)
capillary merges with arteriole: Bp is higher in capillary causing fluid to flow out of capillary and into interstitial fluid (filtration) BP decreases in capillary as blood flows through but osmotic pressure increases (Due to large amount of proteins) REABSORPTION then occurs when osmotic pressure exceeds BP and fluid leaves tissues and reneters capillary
36
difference btw vein and artery
veins are thinner (middle and inner layers) lumen of vein is wider inner layers of vein forms valves pressure is much lower in veins that in arteries
37
2 mechanisms to ensure blood returns to heart
respiratory pump and skeletal muscle pump
38
respiratory pump
during inspiration diaphragm will flatten, this causes blood to move from abdominal veins into thoracic veins and into RA (this pressure reveres on exhalation but valves prevent backflow)
39
skeletal muscle pump
skeletal muscles contract to help push blood toward atrium via MILKING (compression of muscle pushes blood through the valves closer to heart; while valves in uncompressed segment of vein close as blood pushes against it)
40
BP depends on: (2)
``` total volume of blood in body vascular resistance (increased resistance will increase BP) ```
41
3 factors of vascular resistance
``` lumen size (smaller lumen=greater R) Blood Viscosity: thicker=greater R Total blood vessel length: longer=greater R (increased fat cells cause increased number of vessels and thus greater resistance, therefore higher BP) ```
42
Cardiovascular (CV) centre and BP control
in medulla; receives inputs from higher brain regions (hypothalamus will send impulse if body temp rises); and receives inputs from 3 sensory receptors
43
3 sensory receptors that stimulate CV centre
proprioreceptors , baroreceptors and chemoreceptors
44
proprioreceptors
(monitor movement of joints and muscles); cause rapid increase in HR at beginning of exercise
45
negative FB of baroreceptors (pressure receptors)
BP falls and receptors are stretched less therefore sending impulse at slower rate to CV CV decreases parasympathetic stimulation of heart and increases sympathetic this increase BP causing receptors to stretch more (reverse for high BP; decrease sympathetic)
46
chemoreceptors
monitor blood level of O2, CO2, and H; in common carotid arteries and aortic body; send impulse to CV which produce vasoconstriction in arterioles and veins via sympathetic stimulation to increase BP
47
chemorecptors are stimulated by : (3)
hypoxia: lowered O2 in blood acidosis: increased H concentration Hypercapnia: excess CO2
48
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system to control BP
blood level falls; kidneys release RENIN Renin combines with ACE to form ANGIOTENSIN II Angiotensin II raises BP by causing vasoconstriction and stimulates ALDOSTERONE aldosterone increases reabsorption of Na and H2O by kidneys thus increasing BP
49
Epinephrine/norepinephrine
from adrenal medulla; increase CO by increasing rate and force of contractions and via vasoconstriction of arterioles and veins
50
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
hypothalamus; released from posterior pit; responds to dehydration or decreased blood vol causes vasoconstriction which raises BP
51
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
from atria of heart; lowers BP by vasodilation and promoting salt loss in urine
52
Hepatic portal vein
union of splenic and superior mesenteric veins; receives blood from capillaries of digestive organs and delivers to sinusoids in liver
53
Splenic vein
collects from spleen, stomach, pancreas, and portion of Lg intestine
54
Superior mesenteric vein
collects from stomach, pancreas, SI, and protion of LI
55
three main functions of lymphatic system
drains excess interstitial fluid transport dietary lipids carries out immune responses
56
lymphatic capillaries are:
closed at one end and have extremely thin walls located in spaces btw cells slightly larger than blood caps has structure allowing fluid to flow in but not out
57
movement of fluid into lymphatic capillaries
when pressure is greater INSIDE caps, lymph cannot escape | when pressure is greater OUTSIDE caps, interstitial fluid will enter
58
lymph nodes
600 along lymphatic vessels (mammary gland, axillae and groin); masses of T and B cells; lymph flows through the nodes; site for B cell maturation
59
thoracic duct
main lymph-collecting duct; receives lymph from left side of neck, chest and upper lumbs and enitre body below ribs; empties lymph into junction of left internal jugular and left subclavian veins
60
right lymphatic duct
drains lymph from upper right side of body into right jugular and right subclavian
61
2 pumps maintain flow of lymph
skeletal muscle pump, and respiratory pump (inhalation lymph flows from abdominal to thoracic region, valves prevent backflow on exhalation)
62
primary lymphatic organs and tissues
sites of stem cell division and dev of B and T cells; the bone marrow and the thymus
63
secondary lymphatic organs and tissues
sites where most immune responses occur; includes lymph nodes, spleen, lymphatic nodules
64
thymus
contains lg number of T cells that are maturing; 2% of T cells that mature in thymus leave via blood and are carried to lymph nodes, spleen and tissues
65
Spleen
largest lymphatic organ btw stomach and diaphragm; most vulnerable organ; contains white and red pulp
66
white pulp
consists mostly of lymphocytes and macrophages
67
red pulp
blood travels from white to red pulp; has venous sinusoids and chords of CT containing macrophages and lymphocytes
68
3 functions of red pulp
removes worn out RBCs and platelets stores platelets produces RBCs in fetus (not adults)
