CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTE
Cardiovascular System
| What is the difference between end systolic and end diastolic volume? | End Systolic volume=blood left behind during ventricle ejection end diastolic volume=blood resulting from ventricular filling |
| What is cardiac output | Amount of blood ejected by each ventricle in 1 minute |
| Calculate CO(cardiac output) | CO=Heart rate * stroke volume CO=(beats/minute) *( amount of blood in ml/beat) |
| What are the steps involved in the stoppage of bleeding(Hemostasis). List in order | 1.Vascular spasm 2.Platelet plug formation 3.blood clotting- |
| What is the first step in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) | |
| What is the second step of hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) | 2.Platelet plug formation-Platelet sticks to collagen walls via pseudopods which contract and closes off the bleeding of the vessel(better) |
| What is the third step of hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) | 3. blood clotting(coagulation)-Over 30 chem reactions. Converts fibrinogen to fibrin-stop bleeding. |
| What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic pathways | Intrinsic-Blood clots without tissue factors Extrinsic-Blood clots with clotting factors released from damaged blood vessel and perivascular tissues. |
| What is an antigen? | An antigen = complex molecule unique to an individual and present on cell surface |
| What is an antibody? | An antibody=a substance secreted by plasma proteins and mark cells or structures that contain antigens for destruction. |
| What is the composition of blood? Give percents | Plasma-water, solutes and proteins formed elements-1.RBCS(erythocytes) 2. White blood cells(leukocytes) 3. platelets(thrombocytes) |
| What is the Rh blood group? Why is it important | Rh-A blood group related to the absence or presence of Antigen D Incompatability=hemolytic disease of the newborn(HDN) |
