Review of Test 3 -HEART stuff

QuestionAnswer
OVERVIEW: CIRCULATION OVERVIEW: CIRUCLATION
****KNOW EQUATION ON P. 201*** **PRETTY LIKELY THAT IT WILL BE ON THE TEST****
Know how to manipulate it. Example: What would MOST influence resistance? Radius of the tube to the fourth power
What is directly related to resistance? Viscosity of the fluid and the length
What is indirectly related (and hence has the most ifnluence) on resistance/ Radius of the tube to the fourth power
What are you suppoed to do to increase RBCs? Live HIGH train LOW
HEART I HEART I
Where does blood flow in order? Inf and Sup Vena Cava-->Right atrium-->right ventricle-->Pulm ciculation-->Left atrium-->right atrium-->systemic ciculation (aerota)
What is the purpose of all the valves? prevent the backflow of blood. We don't want deoxygenated blood in an oxygenated blood section....
What are the THREE main characteristics of cardiac muscle cells? Straited (actin and myosin here), intercalated disks, gap junctions (conduct APs)
What do sympathetic fibers release? Ach
Sympathetic fibers release? NE and EPI
What is the sequence of excitation starting from the PACEMAKER (SA-NODE)? SA Node (atria)-->AV node-->bundle of his-->perkinje fibers (both ventricles)
With an AP, the membrane permeability of what 3 elements changes? K+, Na+, Ca+
At rest, what is amount of sodium and calcium in cell? Low
What happens when the sodium allowance increases? Depolarization
What does this force calcium channels to do? Open and stay open for a while (b/c of a slow permeability for calcium to enter)
EKG EKG
What is the P-wave? What does it look like? Atrial depolarization
QRS wave: Ventricular depolarization
T-wave: Ventricular repolarization
What is needed for excitating coupling? Where is ti released form? Ca+ released from SR
What is the major signal for calcium releases in the SR? The PRESENCE of Calcium
What is this phenomena called? Calcium induced calcium release
Where does the calcium bind? Is all the calcium bound to troponin (do we usually have full saturation)? Binds to troponin, which isn't fuly saturdated
Can cardiac muscle udnergo tetnus? Nope, not like skeletal muscles can
Why NOT? There's a refractory period (where you can't excite and excitable membrane)
Systole: What contracts/relaxes? Ventricular contraction
Diastole: What contracts/relaxes ? Ventricular depolarization
Explain an isovolumetric/baloonic ventricular contraction: When the AV valves close b/c pressure in the ventricles > atrial pressure. But, the blood doesn't MOVE out of the ventricles since there isn't enough pressure to get the pulmonary valves to open
What is an isovolumentric ventricular relaxation? closing of the aerotic and pulmonary valves
Ventricular filling is in systole of diastole? Diastole
Ventricular ejection is in systeole of diastole? Systole (think it contracts = ejection)
End-diastolic volume? Blood in ventricles before systole
End-systole? Volume remaining after ejection
Stroke volume? End Diastole - End systole (volume ejected)
What has greater pressure, the right heart or the left heart? LEFT heart. Just think, it has to pump blood throughout our ENTIRE system
CO = Heart Rate * Stroke Volume
Increase parasymp does what to HR? INcrease symp? Increase EPI? Parasymp = Decrease HR Symp = Increase HR. EPI: Remeber that EPI is realed from Symp, so EPI also increases HR
What two primary things influnce stroke volume? End diastolic volume and magnitude of SNS input to ventricles
What does starling's law of the heart state? Increasing end-diastolic volume will produce a greater force of contraction
What does this result in? Greater stroke volume
How can increased venous return increase CO? Distending the ventricles and icnreasing stroke volume
An increase in afterload leads to? Increase end systolic volume = DECREASE stroke volume
What is pre-load? Cardiac filling during diastole
What impacts stroke volume??? Pre-load, afterload, and contractility (force of contraction per SNS EPI)
VASCULAR SYSTEM VASCULAR SYSTEM
What are low resistance conduits for easy blood flow? Arteries
MAP = DBP + 1/3 (SBP-DPB)
What does compliance equal? Change in volume / change in pressure (how easily can a structure be stretched)
Which of the following is impacted by compliance? A. Pulse Pressure B. MAP C. None of the above. D. All of the above Pulse pressure. NOT MAP!!
Arterioles have how much ressitance? What do they determine therefore? Lots of Ressitance; determine MAP
Flow in an Organ is = MAP/Resistance in an organ
***This is key to understanding most pathophys stuff: HYPER means too little or too much? HYPO means too little or too muich? HYPER = too MUCH. HYPO = TOO LITTLE
Thus, hyperemia =? TOO MUCH blood flow
What causes vasodilation? EDRF, NO, lots of stuff
What 4 main things cause vasoconstriction? NE, EPI, Angiotensin II, and vasopressin
How fast does blood flow through capillaries? Slowly, because remember that exchange of nutrients takes place here
Veins have what kind of resistance? Where is the majority of your blood located most of the time? LOW RESISTANCE; most of the blood is HERE
REGULATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE
What is MAP = ? Cardiac Output * TPR
What is the function of arterial baroreceptors? they buffer changes in arterial blood pressure
What do cardiopulmonary baroreceptors do? They keep the brain informed of changes in Blood pressure
How do baroreceptors buffer the changes in BP? They increase PS output and decrease SNS output
So what do they decrease? (rememer the MAP equation) Decrease CO, TPR, and MAP. REMEMBER, baroreceptors DECREASE MAP because they respond to an INCREASE in BP
What happens if there is a DECREASE in BP? Efferent stimulates SNS input, and inhibits PS input
How long does regulation by baroreceptors last? SHORT TERM
So how do we control MAP in the lONG TERM??? VOLUME
So, if we increase blood volume, what happens to blood pressure? INCREASE Blood pressure (distention and all that)
In the upright position, increased venous pressure distends the veins, causing venous pooling and increased filtration out of the capillaries. How do we deal with this? Skeletal muscle contraction
