Unit 3a: Cardio Flashcards
(45 cards)
3 Main Role of cardio system
Transport, Regulate, Protection
3 main components
Blood: medium to carry substances
Blood Vessels: to transport
Heart: pumps to move blood through vessels
Relation to other systems
Respiratory and Circulatory: The external respiration is the gas exchange that happens between blood and alveoli (in the lungs)
Digestive and Circulatory Systems: After you eat, your digestive system breaks carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose. The bloodstream absorbs glucose, which your circulatory system distributes throughout the body. This provides your body enough energy then. (small intestine and blood)
Artery
- Carries blood under high pressure away from heart (to lungs/body)
Arteriole
-smallest artery that gives rise to capperileries
Capillary
thinnest blood vessel with one layer of cells. exange with tissue cells and alveolus happends (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, waste)
Capillary bed
network of cappilaries around tissue/organ
Venule
smallest vein
vein
blood vessel that carries low pressure blood back to heart (from tissue/lungs)
Arteries vs Vein
Arteria:
thicker/more flexible
inner layer is folded
middle layer is thicker
Vein:
Thinner walls
larger lumen
has valves
Pulmonary
carries blood between heart and lungs
Main goal: external gas exanange between lungs and blood
Systemic
carries blood between heart of body
Main goals: internal respiration (deliver oxygen to cells and collect co2)
Flow of blood
veins in body take blood to heart. comes from superior/inferior vena cava into right atrium. goes down to right ventrivle via tricuspide valve. goes through pulmonary valve and to left/right pulmonary artery and to lungs. (blood low in 02 turn high in 02) comes back through left atrium from pulmonary veins and from left atrium to left ventricle mitral valve. passes through aortic valve and goes to aorta then rest of body
LUB
- av valves (tri/bicuspid) closing
stops blood from going back to atria
DUB
- semilunar valves (aortic+pulmary valves) close avoiding back flow to heart
Cardiac cycle
a: atria contract (0.1 sec): contract towards ventricle
b: ventricles contract and semilunar valves open (contarcts upwards towards blood vessel): 0.3 sec (longer cause ventricles longer)
c: heart is relaxed, av valves are open (0.4 sec): ventricles start to fill and cycle repeats
A
-electricles signals to both areas from SA node
-contract of atria and diastole of ventricles
- pressure increases of atria
-av valves open/semilunar close
-blood flow to both ventricles
B
- electric signal from av node
- contraction of ventricle, diastole of atria
-increase of pressure in ventricles
-semilunar valves open
blood flow to ventricles to arteries (aorta and pulmonary) - Av valves close (Lub)/ semilunar open
C
- semilunar valves close (dub)/av close
-4 chambers are relaxed
-blood enters atria from vena cava (right atria) and pulmonary vein (left atria)
more pressure in veins than atrea
Depolarization
Electrical signals lead go depolarization of muscle cells (calcium enter cells) when results in contraction of muscle
*signal spreads as calcium leaks
P wave
depolarization of atria
QRS wave
depolarization of ventricles (repolerization of atria)
T wave
Repolarization of ventricles
T-P
diastole
