Pathophysio Test 2

QuestionAnswer
Atherosclerosis symptoms Blocks extremity- leg cool & pale Edema when sitting, layers of artery walls separated & filled with fluid- leg warm when sitting, Skin shinier & without hair pain
Atherosclerosis caused by High caloric diet: Chylomicrons taken, leave behind intermediate-density lipoproteins Float around in blood until liver can take them & turn them into HDL Extras IDL taken by macrophages, get oxidized & hurt wall → clot
Atherosclerosis biggest problem Small emboli, thrombosis → myocardial infarction
Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs if immobilized for a long time
Anatomy of Heart Right side- deoxygenated Left side- oxygenated
Systole AV valves close, 1st heart sound, ventricular contraction Semilunar valves open
Diastole Semilunar valves close, 2nd heart sound Ventricles relax
Layers of heart Visceral pericardium Myocardium: middle muscle layer Endocardium
effects of diuretics Elevate urination→ dehydrated Can cause hypoalkemia
Skeletal/ Cardiac muscle differences Cardiac does not need stimulus Cardiac is all or none
Blood Pressure = cardiac output x peripheral resistance
Cardiac Output amount of blood pushed by heard in one minute
Peripheral Resistance depends on viscosity, diameter of vessels
Vasoconstricting Factors • Bradykinin • Angiotensin II • Heparin (blood thinner)
Vasodialating Factors ACE inhibitor
Beta Blockers Reduce norepinepherine & epinephrine → slow heart rate Vasodilator
Stages of Cardiac Contractility o Resting membrane potential o Threshold potential o Action Potential o Plateau
De/ Repolarization De- more positive charge, Na+ diffuses in Re- more negative charge, K+ diffuses out
Cardiac Tamponade Rapid accumulation of pus (exudate) compress the heart
Vagus Nerve Parasympathetic for heart, lowers heart rate When hyperstimulated can have AV blocks
Normal Rate for Heart 60-100 beats/ min
SA Node pacemaker in right atrium
AV Node between ventricles & atria coordinates heart rate
Purkingi Fibers in ventricular walls, stimulate to contract
Bundle Branch sends info from AV node to apex
Stab Wound in Lungs Air enters → restrict lung expansion → partial/ complete collapse of lung Tension: air enters pleural cavity on inhalation but cannot leave on exhalation Open: air enters pleural cavity through the wound on inhalation and leaves on exhalation
Bronchial Asthma Obstructive airway disorder Inflammatory disease
Hypoxemia less oxygen
Hypercapnia more co2
Cystic Fibrosis Recessive disorder in chloride transport proteins High NaCl in sweat Thick fluids → obstruct airways, obstructs pancreatic & biliary ducts
Embolism Blockage Decrease perfusion (blood vessel to capillary) → decrease diffusion
Isovolumetric Contraction o No change in blood volume Contraction although small AV valves closed
Ventricular Ejection Amount of blood out to vessels from ventricle from each heart beat
Preload stretching ventricle, filling ventricle with blood
Postload tension created in order to have heart contract
Factors to get blood back to heart (negative pressure) oRelaxation of heart oInhale Air in Lungs oMuscles to milk blood to heart oValves in veins
Lung Compliance Ability of lungs to stretch from a change in pressure
Lung compliance depends on •Elastin & collagen fibers •Water content •Surface tension
Heart failure oHeart can no longer pump enough blood to rest of body… •Ventricles too thick •Ventricles too stiff •Ventricles too weak

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
