  Side A   Side B
1
The CV system provides of the needs of the tissues to:
 
transport materialsremove wastes 
2
blood supply to systemic organs is arranged by _ circuits. What does this mean?
 
parallel.this means that blood flow to each organ can be controlled independently. It follows...
3
Responsible for most of the resistance to blood flow
 
Arterioles
4
5 components of the CV system
 
1) A pump which can simultaneously perfuse the pulmonary and systemic circulations2) blood to...
5
3 most common areas for automatic cells
 
SA node, AV node, Purkinje fibers 
6
Steps of cardiac conduction system
 
1) SA node generates impulse, atrial excitation begins.2) Impulse delayed at AV node 3)...
7
Basic ECG:1) P-wave2) QRS complex3) T wave
 
1) depolarization of atria2) depolarization of ventricles3) Repolarization of ventricles 
8
Systole
 
period of contraction and emptying (atrial and ventricular)
9
Diastole
 
Period of relaxing and filling (atrial and ventricular)
10
Stroke volume (SV)
 
Quantity of blood pumped out of either venitrcle per beat. Normal SV at rest is 70mL/beat
11
Heart Rate (HR)
 
number of times the heart beats per minute. Normal adult at rest is 60-100 bpm
12
Venous Return (VR)
 
Quantity of blood returned to the heart per minute. Normally, VR = CO
13
End Diastolic Volume (EDV)
 
quantity of blood remaining in either ventricle at the end of diastole (right before systole...
14
End Systolic Volume (EDV)
 
Quantity of blood remaining ineither ventricle at the end of systole .
15
Cardiac Output (CO)
 
Quantity of blood pumped by the ventricles per minute. At rest normal is 5L/min
16
Cardiac output (CO) = ?
 
CO = HR X SV
17
CO and HRWhat do the SNS (NE) and Adrenal Medulla Hormones (Epi and NE) do? 
 
1) Increase the firing of the SA node2) Increase the spread of electrical impulses through...
18
CO and HRWhat does the ParaNS (via Ach) do to the heart?
 
1) Decreases the firing of the SA node2) Decreases the spread of electrical impulses through...
19
CO and SV Pre-load1) What is preload?2) What is it directly influenced by?3) What are the effects...
 
1) Preload is the "load" or "stretch" on the ventricular cardiac muscle before it contracts.2)...
20
What is the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart?
 
Within physiological limits, the more the ventricles are filled during diastole, the more blood...
21
CO and SV Cardiac Contractility1) An increase in cardiac contractility is an increase in ___. 2)...
 
1) contractile strength (independent of Starling's Law)2) ESV and EV3) positive inotropic 
22
CO and SV afterload1) What is afterload?
 
1) The "load" the heart must overcome after (and while) it contracts.Afterload is essentially...
23
This explains why high blood pressure can be deadly.
 
Afterload 
24
BP = ?CO = ?
 
BP = CO X TPR (total peripheral resistance)CO = HR X SV
25
Location of baroreceptors 
 
Population of baroreceptors reside on the walls of the carotid arteries and aorta  
26
Explain the effects of Baroreceptor Reflexes on blood pressure

27
1) What percent of body weigh does blood make up?2) What makes up blood?
 
1) 8% (males 5-6L; females 4-5 L)2) Formed elements and plasma 
28
Contents of plasma
 
H2O, Solutes, Plasma Proteins (Albumin, Fibrinogen, Globulin)
29
Contents of formed elements of blood
 
Erythrocytes (RBCs), Leukocytes (WBCs), and Thrombocytes (platelets)
30
Describe the stem cells in bone marrow
 
1) The bone marrow contains mulipotent uncomitted stem calls (pluripotential stem cells) that...
31
Pluripotential stem cell that will give rise to many progenitor stem cells (inclduing myeloblasts,...
 
Hemocytoblasts 
32
Contents of WBCs
 
1) Granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes PMNs)      -Neutrophils, Eosinophils,...
33
Function of Granulocytes
 
1) granules contain biologically active substances involved with inflammatory and allergic...
34
Function of Monocytes 
 
1) Circulate for approx. 72 hours2) Enter tissues and become tissues 
35
Function of Lymphocytes 
 
1) Key element in the production of immunity2) Some are formed in bone marrow, but most are...
36
Structure of Erythrocyte 
 
1) binconcave discs (red cheerios) having a diameter of 7- and thickness of 2.0-2.2- this enables...
37
Erythropoiesis
 
Under the control of erythropoietn (a hormone release by the kidneys)
38
Hypoxia and Erythropoesis
 
1) Hypoxemia2) Sensed by liver and kidneys3) secretion of erythropoietin4) Stimulation of red...
39
RBC degredation
 
1) Expired erythrocytes break up in liver and spleen2) hemoglobin is degraded to heme or globin3)...
40
2 functions of RBCs
 
1) transport of O2 in the blood2) transport of CO2 in the blood
41
RBCs transport of O2 in the blood 
 
1) Dissolved in plasma (outside RBC) - 1.5%2) Bound to hemoglobin (inside RBC) - 98.5%oxyhemoglobin-...
42
RBCs transport of CO2 in the blood 
 
hemoglobin transports 30% of the total amount of CO2 produced by the body- this is called carbaminohemoglobin...
43
Platelets
 
1) Platelets are not really cells, but instead fragments of cells2) they split from huge cells...
44
Hemostasis Vasocontriction (Vascular Spasm)
 
- the smooth muscle in damaged vessels contracts immediately producing local vasoconstriction-...
45
Hemostasis Platelet Plug Formation
 
- characterized by the aggregation of platelets - platelets stick to exposed collagen,...
46
Hemostasis- Coagulation Phase
 
- Occurs either to reinforce a platelet plug or to stop bleeeding when a platelet plug fails-...
