Q

The pathway of blood flow through the heart

A
  1. Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
  2. The blood then flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle.
  3. The right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk, which carries it to the lungs.
  4. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide.
  5. The now oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
  6. From the left atrium, the blood flows into the left ventricle.
  7. The powerful left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood out through the aortic valve and into the aorta, which distributes it to the rest of the body.
  8. The cycle then repeats, with the deoxygenated blood returning to the right atrium to start the journey through the heart again! πŸ”

Q

The definition and formula for determining cardiac output.

Definition:
Cardiac Output (CO) = The total volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle per minute 🩸

Formula:
Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume Γ— Heart Rate

Example Breakdown:

- Heart Rate: Number of heartbeats per minute (average 75 beats/min)

White Blood Cell Creation
Origin: Red Bone Marrow Process: Hematopoiesis Initial Types: 70-80% become T lymphocytes Remaining become B lymphocytes The red bone marrow is where stem cells divide and develop into different types of blood cells, including white blood cells.
90
Antigen
presenting cells (APCs) like macrophages and dendritic cells - they find foreign invaders and show them to other immune cells.
91
B cells
these make antibodies to attack specific germs. Some B cells become memory B cells that remember past infections.
92
purpose of white blood cells
the white blood cells work together to recognize threats, coordinate the immune response, and destroy anything that doesn't belong in your body!
93
Helper T cells
Helper T cells - they help activate and coordinate the immune response.
94
Cytotoxic T cells
they directly attack and kill infected or cancerous cells.
95
Memory T cells
they remember past infections so the immune system can respond faster next time.
96
types of T cells
helper cytotoxic memory
97
Plasma cells
these are activated B cells that pump out lots of antibodies.
98
Natural killer cells (NKCs)
they can directly destroy infected or cancerous cells.
99
The differences between cell-mediated and anti-body mediated immunity.
Cell-mediated uses T cells to directly attack threats Antibody-mediated uses B cells to produce antibodies that tag threats for destruction
100
The types of adaptive immunity.
- Naturally acquired active immunity - Naturally acquired passive immunity - Artificially acquired active immunity - Artificially acquired passive immunity
101
Naturally acquired active immunity
This happens when you get exposed to a pathogen and your body mounts an immune response, creating memory cells (p.78) For example, getting the flu and then being immune to that strain in the future
102
Naturally acquired passive immunity
This is when antibodies are passed from mother to child, either through the placenta or breastmilk This provides short-term protection for the baby
103
Artificially acquired active immunity
This is when you get a vaccine, which exposes your body to a weakened or inactivated pathogen Your body then builds immunity without getting the full-blown illness
104
Artificially acquired passive immunity
This is when you get an injection of antibodies, like gamma globulin (p.79) This provides short-term protection but doesn't create long-lasting immunity
105
Vascular Spasm 🚧
Vascular Spasm 🚧 - Blood vessel constricts -Reduces blood flow to injury site - Smooth muscle contracts
106
Platelet Plug Formation 🧱
- Platelets stick to damaged vessel wall - Create mechanical barrier - Prevent immediate blood loss
107
Blood Coagulation (Chemical Clotting) πŸ§ͺ
Step-by-Step Process: a. Tissue damage releases thromboplastin b. Prothrombin activator forms c. Prothrombin converts to thrombin d. Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin e. Fibrin creates net-like structure f. Blood cells get trapped in fibrin net g. Solid clot forms
108
Fibrinolysis
Dissolves small clots inside a blood vessel
109
What causes the heart sounds
Turbulence from the closure of the valves
110
Vascular resistance is increased by?
Increasing the bloods viscosity
111
Pulse is caused by
Expansion and recoil of an artery
112
Systolic blood pressure
Represents the force of blood pushing against arterial cells walls during ventricular relaxation
113
Diastolic blood pressure
Represents the force of blood against arterial walls during ventricular relaxation
