Question
Answer
of the total body weight, what proportion is blood?   8% the rest is body fluids and tissues  
🗑
of the total body blood, what proportion is plasma?   55% plasma the rest is hematocrit.  
🗑
what is serum?   plasma without clotting factors  
🗑
what is the makeup of plasma?   91.5% water, 7% protein, salts, lipids, enzymes, and vitamins  
🗑
what is the makeup of plasma proteins?   55% albumin, 38% globulin, 7% fibrinogen  
🗑
what are the three kinds of cells in hematocrit?   erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets  
🗑
what is the typical makeup of WBCs in the blood?   40-70% PMNS, 20-40% lymphocytes, 2-10% monocytes, 1-6% eosinophils, <1% basophils  
🗑
what is the net filtration pressure   Pnet=[(Pc-Pi)-(πc-πi)]  
🗑
what are 4 common causes edema?   increased capillary pressure, decreased plasma proteins, increased capillary permeability, or increased interstitial colloid pressure  
🗑
what is a common cause of increased capillary pressure   heart failure  
🗑
what is a common cause of decreased plasma proteins   nephrotic syndrome or liver failure  
🗑
what may cause increased capillary permeability?   toxins, infections, burns  
🗑
what could cause increased colloid presure?   lymphatic blockage  
🗑
what are the three structures in the carotid sheath?   internal jugular v. (lateral), common carotid a. (medial), vagus n. (posterior)  
🗑
in most cases, what supplies the SA and AV nodes?   RCA  
🗑
80% of the time, what supplies the inferior portion of the LV via the PD artery?   RCA (right dominant)  
🗑
when do the coronary arteries fill?   during diastole  
🗑
what supplies the anterior interventricular septum?   LAD  
🗑
what is the most posterior part of the heart? enlargment can cause what?   left atrium; dysphagia  
🗑
what artery gives off large obtuse marginal branches that supply the lateral and posterior walls of the LV?   circumflex  
🗑
what supplies the anterior 2/3 of IV septum, apical portion of anterior papillary muscle, and the anterior surface of the LV?   LAD  
🗑
where does the RCA travel?   in the right AV groove  
🗑
what supplies the inferior and posterior wals of the ventricles and the posterior 1/3 of the IV septum?   posterior descending (typically a branch of RCA)  
🗑
Cardiac output = ?   stroke volume x heart rate  
🗑
what is the Fick principle?   CO = rate of O2 consumption/ (arterial O2 content - venous O2 content)  
🗑
how do you calculate mean arterial pressure?   CO x TPR = 1/3SBP + 2/3 DBP  
🗑
pulse pressure = ?   systolic - diastolic (approx SV)  
🗑
stroke volume = ?   CO/HR = EDV-ESV  
🗑
what variables affect stroke volume?   contractility, afterload, and preload - SV CAP  
🗑
what effect does increased intracellular calcium have on contractility and SV?   increases contractility and SV  
🗑
how does decreased extracellular sodium affect contractility and SV?   increases contractility and SV  
🗑
5 things that decrease contractility and SV?   B1 block, heart failure, acidosis, hypoxea/hypercapnea, Ca++ channel blockers  
🗑
what effect does digitalis have on contractility and SV?   increases them  
🗑
preload is equal to what volume?   end diastolic volume  
🗑
afterload is equal to what presure?   systolic arterial pressure (proportional to peripheral resistance)  
🗑
what effect do venous dilators (e.g. nitroglycerin) have?   decrease preload  
🗑
what effect do vasodilators (e.g. hydralazine) have?   decrease afterload  
🗑
this increases slightly with exercise, increased blood volume (overtransfusion), and excitement (sympathetics)   preload  
🗑
ejection fraction = ?   SV/EDV = (EDV-ESV)/EDV = index of contractility  
🗑
ejection fraction is normally greater than or equal to?   >55%  
🗑
resistance is directly proportional to what?   viscosity  
🗑
resistance is inversely proportional to what?   radius to the 4th power  
🗑
delta P = ?   Q x R  
🗑
resistance = ?   [delta P/Q]/[8 x viscosity x length x r to the 4th]  
🗑
what does viscosity mostly depend on? when is it increased?   hematocrit: increased in polycythemia, hyperproteinemic states (e.g. multiple myeloma), hereditary spherocytosis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
