chapter 12, 13, 14

QuestionAnswer
ekg/ecg electrocardiogram, measures heart's electrical signals
heart murmur blood regurgitation, usually bc of improper function of a valve
going horizontal fainting, makes it easier for blood to go to your brain bc the flow isn't going agains gravity
cardiac anatomy: left side of heart pumps blood to the entire body, from head to toe, hence has thicker muscle wall, more work required
cardiac anatomy: right side of heart pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs, much weaker half of heart bc requires little to no work
flow of blood: deoxygenated blood to the lungs 1. superior and inferior venacava, 2.Right atrium, 3.tricuspid valve, 4.right ventricle 5. pulmonary semilunar valve, 5. pulmonary trun, 6.left and right pulmonary arteries, 7. lungs
flow of blood: oxygenated blood from the lungs 1. left and right pulmonary veins, 2.left atrium, 3.bicuspid valve, 4. left ventricle, 5.aortic semilunar valve, 6.Aorta, 7. arteries
LAB RAT Left atrium bicuspid, Right atrium tricuspid
PFO when the flap betweem the left and right ventricles aren't sealed, its not sealed in all embryos because you don't need to separate the blood, all O2 comes from mom. as soon as embryo is born, force of air pushes the flaps together and they should seal
PFO continued otherwise oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix and the individual cannot function as well, less O2 = less energy
what is blood composed of? formed elements ( cells and cell fragments) and a liquid called plasma. blood contains erthrocytes, leuckocytes and platelets
hematocrit percentage of blood that is comprised of erthrocytes, ie. percentage of blood oxygen levels
cardiac anatomy: atrium the two upper chambers of the heart, blood pools here until there is enough to push through the valves
cardiac anatomy: ventricles lower chambers of heart, blood is actively pumped to either the lungs or the rest of the body
cardiac anatomy: arteries vessels that carry blood away from the heart, think ARTERY = AWAY
cardiac anatomy: veins carrying blood back to the ehart
cardiac anatomy: aorta the largest artery in the body, pushes blood from the left ventricle to the entire body
cardiac anatomy: what's the difference between the inferior and superior venacavae?? inferior vena cava collects blood BELOW the heart, inferior vena cava collects blood ABOVE the heart
cardiac conduction: route of electrical signal to the apex of the heart. SA node fires a signal to the AV node. the signal goes to the apex of the heart and then turns on the purkinje fibers, triggering contractions.
cardiac conduction: order of contraction atrium contracts first, after inital depolarization
cardiac conduction: SA node sinoatrial node, located in top of right atrium, where initial depolarization arises, pacemaker for the heart, the rate at which the SA node discharges determines the heart rate, does not have a resting potential, undergoes pacemaker potential,
cardiac conduction: AV node atrioventricular node, located in bottom of right atrium, receives signal from SA node and sends signal to bundle of His, action potential arises slowly through AV node, which allows atrial contraction to complete before ventricular contraction starts
cardiac conduction: bundle of his the connection between the AV node and bundle of his makeup the only electrical connection between the atria and ventricles, otherwise, the wto are completely separated (conduction wise)
cardiac conduction: purkinje fibers bundle of his separates into two branch bundles that connect with purkinje fibers, large conducting cells that send impulses throughout the ventricles. these fibers cause ventricular contraction
cardiac action potentials sodium depolarizes the cell while, at the same time potassium permeability decreases, leaky potassium channels close, leading to overall further depolarization of the cell. sodium channels close almost immediately but instead of repolarizing, the cell
cardiac action potentials remains depolarized bc potassium permeability is still decreased and there is an increased permeability to calcium
cardiac action potentials: L type calcium channels l-type calcium channels, open much more slowly than Na channels, the flow of positive calcium into cell balances positive flow of potassium out of cell, keeping the membrane depolarized.
cardiac action potentials: after l-type calcium channels eventually l-type channels close and more k channels open in response to the depolarization, repolarizing the cell
cardiac action potentials: pacemaker potentials gradual depolarization of a membrane, controlled by slow reduction of potassium permeability, funny channels, which opens when the membrane potential is negative, and slowly brings Na in and potassium out. also controlled by T-type calcium channels,
cardiac action potentials: pacemaker potentials t-type calcium channels open briefly to allow Ca in, these qualities of the pacemaker potential mean that the SA node has no resting potential constantly depolarizing and then repolarizing
electrical and mechanical functions during ekg: line before p wave blood is entering the atriums
electrical and mechanical functions during ekg: p wave stimulation of SA node begins as p wave begins, as the impulse goes from left to right atria, the p wave gets bigger. also atrial depolarization, atria is contracting to fill up ventricle
atrial systole normally atrium fills passively but a little remaining blood is actively kicked in, ie. atrial systole
S1 heart sound is caused by AV valve closing
S2 sound is caused by SL valve closing
during isovolumetric contraction (systole) which valves are open and closed?? iso means things are the same, therefore both valves are closed so nothing's changing
electrical and mechanical functions during ekg: QRS complex purkinje fibers are stimulated, ventricles contracting by r wave. by the s wave, blood is leaving the ventricles
electrical and mechanical functions during ekg: t wave heart is depolarizing/relaxing. refractory period, cycle prepares to begin again
cardiac cycle: what happens during systole systole = squeeze, ventricles contract and then ventricles eject. during ventricular contraction, both AV and SL valves are closed. during ejection, SL valve opens and blood goes to either body or lungs
cardiac cycle: what happens during diastole isometric ventricular contraction, AV valves and SL valves are close, atria is passively filling. then ventricular contractions begin, first ventricles fill passively, AV valve open, sl valve closed. finally atria contracts to push last bit in
myocardial contraction and relaxation 1.action potential enters 2.voltage gated Ca channels open and Ca rushes in 3.Ca that rushes in binds to the ryanodine receptor, which triggers the Sarcoplasmic reticulum to release more Ca 4. the increased release of Ca leads to Ca spark, ie. more Ca
mycoardial contraction and relaxation 5.Ca binds to troponin and initiates contraction 6. Ca unbinds from troponin and relaxation occurs 7.most Ca is pumped back into the SR, some is sent out in exchange for Na, to mantain the cells Na gradient
ventricular myocardium extended plateau, permeability of ca keeps membrane potential high, ie. no tetanus, cannot contract over and over again, cardiac muscle must relax. as Na permeability falls, Ca permability increases to allow for plateau and K permeability decreases
ventricular myocardium meaning more k stays in the cell, ie. cell will stay depolarized, heart can't reset and immediately start again
autorhythmic cells as soon as they depolarize, they replarize, then depolarize again, occur with no stimulus, jsut repeast over and over again, no action potential needed to be acheived, found in the SA node
pacemaker potential in autorhytmic cells depolarize slowly, funny channels open then close at 60mv, allows sodium to come in and k to come out @ same time. then Ca T and L channels open at staggered rates. at peak, Ca T and then L channels close, slow K channels open and K flows out,
pacemaker potential in autorhythmic cells repolarizing cell, at -60mv, the whole thing starts again
brady vs tachy chardia brady = slow, tachy = fast
drugs that affect the heart and where parasympathetic: acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors in the Atria. sympathetic: epinephrine and norepinephrine affect Beta receptors in both atria and ventricles
sympathetic regulation of heart increased force of contraction and stroke volume result from sympathetic stimulation. sympathetic influence affects l type calcium channels, ryanodine receptors, thin and thick filaments and proteins that bring Ca back to the SR by speeding them all up
bp number systole/ dyastole,
veins veins have valves bc blood is going agains gravity, back to heart, muscles massage blood up when in action, when relaxed, blood falls back down but valves stop it from going all the way down
arteries carry blood away from heart, don't have valves, except for aorta
albumin its ia blood protein, too big to exit capillaries, instead creates an osmotic draw back into the capillaries
net filtration pressure Pc (capillary pressure) + osmotic force of proteins in interstitium - hydrostatic pressure - osmotic draw from proteins inside the capillary
cardiac output CO = HR (heart rate) * SV (stroke volume) || SV = EDV - ESV (end diastolic volume - end systolic volume)
end diastolic volume how much blood you have just before systole
to calculate how long it takes blood from right ventricle to head you use time = pulmonary vol/cardiac output
pulmonary circulation circulation of blood between the heart and the lungs.
systemic circulation circulation that supplies blood to all the body except to the lungs.
sympathetic regulation of the heart continued norepinephrine triggers alpha cells in heart, causing vasoconstriction. epinephrine triggers beta 2 cells in the heart causing vasodialation
lymph circulatory system for immune system, a series of vessels that collect things from interstition and return it to the blood, works by pressure, if you block lymph system, there is no pressure to move fluid, so it stays in the tissue, causing edema
lympedema a condition of localized fluid retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system
kwashiorkor symptom is edema, caused by lack of essential proteins
what is blood made of?? plasma, erthrocytes, leukocytes, platelets
cells in blood: erthrocytes red blood cells
cells in blood: leukocytes many kinds: neutrophils (neutral in presence of acid/base), eosinophils (turns red in presence of acid), basophils (turns blue in presence of base), monocytes (give rise to phagocytes), lymphocyte
hemostasis prevention of blood loss, vessel damage triggers platelets who then release chemical mediators, contract the vascular smooth muscle, causing vasoconstriction ie less blood flow to the area, and creating a platelet plug
anemia not enough red blood cells, bad bc you get no oxygen
polycythemia too many blood cells, block flow, cause clots
dehydration can look like polycythemia bc even though the red blood cell count is normal, the plasma is low, increasing the hematocrit percentage
thromboembolism blood clot that forms in a vein deep inside a part of the body. It mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh.
murmer regurgitation of blood backwards bc a valve is not closing properly
Heart block disease in the electrical system of the heart, some part of the electrical system isn't working properly
congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to provide sufficient pump action to maintain blood flow to meet the needs of the body. Left side failure:Backup of fluid into pulmonary circuit, Rales or crackles in the lung. Pink, frothy sputum.
congestive heart failure Right side failure: Backup of fluid into systemic circuit Edema, especially in the lower extremities
Hypertension igh blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.[1] This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels
Myocardial Infarction results from the interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. This is most commonly due to occlusion (blockage) of a coronary artery
difference between sign and symptom sign: something you can see. symptom: something the patient must tell you
signs of myocardial infarction and treatment t wave inversion, S-T elevation, weird q wave. treated with MOAN: Morphine, O2, Asprin, nitroglycerin. why asprin: cox 1 and 2 inhibitor, interferes w protective lining of stomach and an anticoagulant
fetal circulation Blood from the placenta carried to the fetus via umbilical vein. half is carried to the inferior vena cava, other half enters the liver. The blood then moves to the right atrium of the heart to left atrium via PFO and from
fetal circulation there it is pumped through the aorta into the body. Some of the blood re-enters the placenta, where waste products from the fetus are taken up and enter the maternal circulation.
nasal cavity primary filtering of air, heating of air, moistening of air
lobes of lung 3 on the right side, only 2 on the left to make room for the heart
inspiration inhalation, air from external environment comes in
expiration exhalation, air from inside goes back out
process of inspiration air comes in through nose/mouth into pharynx, passage for air and food. air then goes through the larynx, which has the vocal cords, goes into the trachea, which splits into two bronchi, leading to the lungs
functions of the respiratory system provides O2, removes CO2, regulates pH in coordination w kidneys, assists in speech, defends against microbes, traps and dissolves blood clots
alveoli hollow sacks that allow for oxygen exchange, two types. type 1:flat, epithelial cells that line air facing surfaces of lungs. type 2: produce detergent called surfactant that allows tissues to slide by each other, makes it easier for lungs to expand
boyles law changes in pressure determine direction of gass flow, pressure inversely proportional to volume, as one goes up the other goes down
tidal volume amount of air inhaled/exhaled in one relaxed breath
inspiratory reserve volume amount of air that is inhaled w max effort
expiratory reserve volume amount of air that is exhaled w max effort
residual volume amount of air in lungs after maximum expiration, keeps alveoli inflated between breaths
vital capacity amount of air that can be exhaled w max effort after max inspiration. expiratory reserve vol + tidal vol + inspiratory reserve vol. judges strenght of thoracic muscle and pulmonary function
inspiratory capacity max amount that can be inhaled after normal tidal expiration. IRV+TV
functional residual capacity. a amount of air in lungs after normal tidal expiration, RV +ERV
total lung capactiy max amount of air the lungs can hold, RV +VC
negative pressure breathing contraction of the diaphragm, and the relaxation of intercostal muscles, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity, which the lungs expand to fill.still the same amount of air in the lungs,
negative pressure breathing but w larger volume, so it is at a lower pressure than initially, when it was equal to ambient air pressure. As long as the airway is secured, air "flows" into the lungs along the pressure gradient, filling the lungs with air.
process of negative pressure breathing external intercostal muscles and sternocleidomastoid pull the ribs up and away, increasing vol. thoracic cavity,air to flows in. internal intercostal muscles pull ribs together, decreasing thoracic cavity volume, increasing pressure thus pushing air out
pleural tissue/cavity holding the lungs
hypoxia deficiency of O2
cyanosis turning blue from lack of O2
apnea no breathing
tachypnea fast breathing
eupnea normal breathing
alveolar having to do w the alveoli
hemoglobin molecule in blood, carries o2, at full saturation, hemoglobin carries 4 molecules of o2
where does O2 go in the body?? o2 is inspired, goes into the alveoli, whic dissolve it and is absorbed and taken up by the hemoglobin in blood, the hemoglobin releases it in necessary areas and it enters a cell and goes to the mitochondria,
why does O2 go to mitochondria WHY?? bc it is used as a final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, ie, without oxygen the 36 atp from the etc can't be made
Bicarb equation H2O+ CO2 <-> H2OCO3 <->HCO3 + H, the equation is reversible, when there's more H+, ie. more acidic, hemoglobin doesn't bind to O2 as well, when basic, hemoglobin binds to O2 very well
DPG produced during glycholysis in red blood cells, binds o hemoglobin and makes it have less affinity for O2, thus, whenever there is a huge amount of DPG in the system, it triggers release of O2 from hemoglobin to where its supposed to go.
what causes hemoglobin to have a lower affinity for oxygen? increased temperature, decreased pH, increased increased DPG, increased Pco2. increased activity leads to decreased hemoglobin/o2 affinity, which leads to hmore O2 released
what does it mean if hemoglobin has lower/higher affinity for O2?? lower affinity = willing to give up O2 more readily. higher = less willing to give up O2 readily
what happens to your CO2?? 10% of CO2 is in blood, 60-65% of CO2 is converted to HCO3 thanks to Carbonic anydrase, and then moved out of the red blood cell into the plasma in exchange for Cl ions. 25-30% bound to hemoglobin
what is the peripheral nervous system sensitive to? CO2, O2, pH
what is the central nervous system sensitive to? CO2
minute ventilation volume of gas inhaled or exhaled from a person's lungs per minute. increases as your exercise increases
Arterial Po2 partial pressure of oxygen, stays the same bc even though you're removing O2, its being replaced just as quickly
Arterial CO2 partial pressure of CO2, decreases as you exercise more bc you're starting to take in more and more oxygen
Arterial [H+] concentration of H+ ions, ie. increase in acidity, increases as you exercise more
Chronic osbstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phagocytes destroy alveolar walls, causing less surface area, ie. less O2 uptake. includes chronic bhronchitis, emphysema
pneumothorax (collapsed lung) A collapsed lung occurs when air escapes from the lung and fills up the space outside of the lung, inside the chest. messes up negative pressure breathing
hypoxia deficiency of O2 in tissues
shallow water blackout hyperventilating decreasese CO2 in blood, allowing people to go underwater for longer. however, as you stay underwater, O2 is low, yes, but CO2 is rising and the pressure to breathe comes from the build up of CO2.
shallow water blackout eventually you lose conciousness and your instincts take over and make you breathe
Fick's law of diffusion O2 consumption = Cardiac output*(arterial [O2]-venous[O2])
kidneys are bodyy's filtration system, made of 1 million subunits called nephrons
nephrons made up of filtering component called renal corpuscule that filters stuff from blood, removing cells and proteins. this filtrate goes to the tubule that extends from renal corpusucule
renal corpuscule contains glomerulus (a bunch of interconnected capillary loops, part of it jutts into the bowmans capsule where fluid exchange occurs) and bowman's capsule (a fluid filled capsule)
renal tubule contains loop of henle, collecting duct and various other tubules
basic flow in kidneys glomerulus -> bowman's capsule -> proximal convoluted tubule -> proximal straight tubule -> descending loop of henley -> ascending thin loop of henley -> ascending thick loop of henley -> distal convoluted tube -> collecting duct
afferent arteriole brings blood to glomerulus, where it is filtered through the bowman's capsule
efferent arteriole remaining stuff, after the filtering leaves through this arteriole
basic renal processes: glomerulus blood enters glomerulus through afferent arterioles. it is run through the bowman's capsule where it is filtered and the remaining stuff is carried away via efferent arteriole. and enters the peritubular capillaries
basic renal processes: glomerulus glomerular capillaries are fenistrated, and slit to allow everything but cells and proteins out. peritubular capillaries just surround everything afterwards, reabsorbing the whole way
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) volume of fluid filtered from glomeruli -> bowmans capsule / unit time. controlled by pressure, glomerular capillary bp- fluid pressure in bowmans space - osmotic force due to protein in plasma.
how do you test GFR? inulin, and less so creatinine are both filtered but not reabsorbed by the kidney and are not (really) created in the body so measuring that in the urine allows you to measure GFR by calculating clearance rate of substance, is the kidney healthy or not???
increasing/decreasing gfr?? dilated afferent arteriole = increased gfr, dialted efferent arteriole =decreased gfr
reabsorbrtion vs filtrate reabsorbed stuff goes back into the blood, filtrate is the stuff thats going to be your urine
reabsorption in tubules removes substances neessary for body. things usually diffuse into the tubule or are carried through using mediated transport
glucose in diabetics a person w uncontrolled diabetes has excess glucose in their kidneys. glucose is reabsorbed through transporters and the kidneys are doing it as best as they can, but if there's just too much glucose (ie. like in a diabetic) it'll end up in the urine.
clearance rate of a substance (Urine concentration of s *urine volume per time)/ plasma concentration of s
micturition basically peeing. two parts of the sphincter, internal (smooth muscle) and external (skeletal muscle, only part thats voluntary). sphincters are activated and detrusor muscles are not activated and when you are peeing, vice versa
metabolic water water you get from the breakdwon of glucose/dehydration synthesis, basically water you get from metabolic activity
what exits where in the renal tubule water exits passively in the descending loop of henle, Na exits passively in the thin ascending loop of henley, and exits actively in the thick ascending loop of henley
relation of water and sodium reabsorption sodium reabsorption is active and occurs all through out the tubes except the descending loop of henley. and water reabsorption is through diffusion, dependant on sodium reabsorption
reabsorption in proximal tubule Na/K atpase pumps power sodium reabsorption, decreasing intracellular sodium concentration
vasopresin * VASOPRESSIN DOES NOT INFLUENCE WATER IN ANY PART OF THE TUBULE BEFORE THE COLLECTING DUCTS || vasopressin uses second messenger (cyclic cmp) system to trigger more aquaporins to be released major determinant of water reabsorption. stimulates aquaporins in the collecting ducts. ie. if there's a high plasma concentration of vasopressin, there is high water permeability and reabsoption in the collecting ducts, reducing volume of urine excreted.
water diuresis lack of vasopressin, results in increased urine excretion but not increased solute excretion
osmotic diuresis increased urine flow but due to increased solute excretion. ie. for some reason sodium isn't reabsorbed as well so you have more Na excretion, well water follows solutes so if Na goes out, so will H2O. an example is diabetes mellitus
what's going on in the loop of henley?? the descending limb is more permeable to water than Na and vice versa for the ascending limb. so when Na is reabsorbed into the interstition, it shifts the concentration gradient so that water is drawn out of the descending limb, w
what's going on in the distal convoluted tubule?? actively transports Na and Cl but is impermeable to water
Renal cortex outer portion of the kidney. It contains the renal corpuscles and the renal tubules except for parts of the loop of Henle which descend into the renal medulla. The renal cortex is the part of the kidney where ultrafiltration occurs.
ultrafiltration filtration of blood from the arteriole through the bowmans capsule, but before the peritubular capillary
renal medulla contains loop of henley and collecting duct
vasa recta capillary that mirrors the loop of henley, moves in the same direction but very slowly and reabsorbs a lot of the stuff
aldosteron stimulates sodium reabsportion by distal convoluted tubule and cortical collecting ducts, steroid, acts slowly
angiotensin II controls the secretion of aldosterone
renin angiotensis aldosterone system (RAAS) renin is secreted by juxtaglomerular cells, from juxtaglomerular apparatuses in the kidney. when bp has dropped the kidney releases renin into your blood. Angiotensinogen is a giant protein thats just chilling in your blood, once renin comes in
renin angiotensis aldosterone system (RAAS) it cleaves the antiotensinogen into angiotensin I which is then cut into angiontensin II which then triggers the release of aldosterone. the rate limiting factor in angiotensin II formation is the plasma renin concentration.
juxtraglomerular conctains justaglomerular cells, right next to glomerulus
Collecting duct made up of various portions, cortical collecting duct, in cortex, medullary collecting duct in medulla, collects all the remaining stuff that wasn't reabsorbed and takes it to bladder
urea added in thin ascending loop of henley passively to create the concnetration gradient that allows sodium to leave passively
renal regulation of potassium aldosterone promotes both sodium and potassium secretion/excretion. also filtered into the urine so that Na can be reabsorbed via cotransport
countercurrent multiplier two sets of tubes wit flow going in opposite direction. increases the surface area and creates a concentration gradient. comprized of the loop of henley, the vasa recta
Ace inhibitors lower bp by preventing Angiotensin I from breaking into Angiotensin II
Angiotensin II function increases bp, causes vasoconstriction,increases vasopressin and aldosterone release
sources of hydrogen ion gain/loss bicarb equation. when Hco3 is produced and H+ binds with phosphate in the lumen, you see a net increase in HCo3, therefore net increase in H+. when Hco3 is produced and H+ binds with HCO3 in the lumen, you see a decrease in Hco3 and H+
bicarb equation (H2O and CO2 passively removed) bicarb equation happens in the epithelial cells, the two products you get are H+ and Hco3-. bicarb goes to interstitial fluid. H+, through co transport, ist transported into the tubular lumen where it binds to HCO3 in the lumen and turns into H2O and CO2
bicarb equation (H2O and CO2 passively removed) there is no net gain of bicarbs here 1+ and 1-. leads to an overall decrease of bicarb and H+
bicarb equation (bicarb produced) another to get H+ into the lumen is a phosphate equation. H+ and HCO3 produced again, but the H+ then goes to the lumen and binds to HPO4. 1 bicarb created, no bicarb removed = net gain of bicarb, ie. net gain of H+
Diuretics Lasix, HCTZ, remove fluid, ie. decrease pressure on heart and arteries
hypertension high blood pressure, treated w Diuretics Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors Angiotensin II Receptor antagonist Beta-Blockers Calcium Channel Blocker (antagonist)
