Question
Answer
Cardiovascular system   consists of heart and blood vessels  
🗑
heart   myocardium - 4 chambered pump made of cardiac muscle  
🗑
left atrium   receives oxygenated blood through pulmonary veins from lungs  
🗑
right atrium   recives de-oxygenated blood from body and tissues via vena cava  
🗑
left ventricle   pumps blood to body and tissues via the aorta (oxygenated)  
🗑
right ventricle   pumps blood to lungs through pulmonary artery (de-oxygenated)  
🗑
atrioventricular valves   biscuspid or mitral (left)/ triscuspid (right) prevent backflow from ventricles to atria  
🗑
how does blood flow   lungs (O2 blood) - pulmonary vein, L atrium, bicuspid valve, L ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries - gaseuos exchange - (CO2) capillaries, venules, veins, inf/sup vena cava, R atrium, tricuspid valve, R ventricle, pulmonary ateries, lungs  
🗑
the cardiac cycle   complete heartbeat, consisting of systole and diastole of both atria and ventricles (artia contract while ventricles relax and vice versa)  
🗑
systole   contraction phase  
🗑
diastole   relaxation phase  
🗑
atrial diastole   atria relax and fill with blood  
🗑
atrial systole   atria contract, pushing blood through atrioventricular valves into ventricles  
🗑
ventricular diastole   ventricles relax and fill with blood  
🗑
ventricular systole   full ventricle contracts, forcing blood into aorta and pulmonary arteries and against atrioventricular valves, closing them  
🗑
what is an ecg   electrocardiograph - records electrical changes which occur when the heart contracts.  
🗑
stroke volume   amount of blood ejected from ventricles when they contract (average 70ml healthy adult at rest)  
🗑
cardiac output   stroke volume x heart rate (bpm)  
🗑
tachycardia   fast heart rate (over 100bpm)  
🗑
bradycardia   slow heart rate (under 60bpm)  
🗑
factors affecting stroke volume   pre-load, after-load, contractillity of ventricles  
🗑
pre-load   Increased volume of blood in ventricle (caused by venous pressure),resulting in more forecful contraction and increased stroke volume  
🗑
after-load   blood left in ventricle after contraction determined by arterial pressure and force of contraction.  
🗑
contractillity of ventricles   myocardium reponds to training stimulus like other muscles and will be come stronger leading to more forceful contractions and more blood being pumped per beat  
🗑
coronary circulation   blood supply to heart. myocardium extracts 70-75% of available oxygen (skeletal muscle 25%)  
🗑
coronary arteries   branch off the aorta and pierce myocardium. majority of blood flows during diastolic phase of cardiac cycle  
🗑
factors affecting coronary supply   narrowing of arteries (arterioscleroris -fatty deposits), time spent in diastole, pressure in aorta, blood oxygen carrying capacity (amenia etc)  
🗑
factors affecting coronary demand   heart rate, myocardial mass, contractillity, ventricular wall tension (pre/after-load)  
🗑
myocardial ischemia   inadequate blood/oxygen supply to coronary arteries (resulting in chest pains - angina)  
🗑
myocardial infarction   complete lack of blood and oxygen to myocardium (heart attack)  
🗑
arteries   thick muscular elastic walls to handle blood under pressure, carry blood oxygenated blood away from heart to tissues  
🗑
veins   thin in-elastic walls as deoxygentaed blood under less pressure returning to heart from tissues, valve system prevents back flow. musclular pressure assists blood flow back to heart.  
🗑
capillaries   thin walls 1 cell thick allow gases to pass through easily, no valves, blood under low/moderates pressure (gaseous exchange takes place)  
🗑
vasoconstriction   decrease in blood vessel diameter  
🗑
vasodilation   increase in blood vessel diameter  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   rought of deoxygenated blood: right ventricle-pulmonary arterty-lungs-pulmonary vein-left atrium  
🗑
systemic circulation   route of oxygenated blood: left ventricle-aorta-all body tissues (except lungs)-vena cava-right atrium  
🗑


   

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.
