Systemic/Pulmonary

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Pulmonary Circulation   -Moves blood to and from the lungs -Pulmonary trunk: Arises from right ventricle. -Pulmonary arteries: Branches of pulmonary trunk which project to lungs. Pulmonary veins: Exit each lung and enter left atrium.  
🗑
Systemic Circulation: Arteries   -Aorta-- From which all arteries are derived either directly or indirectly -Parts--- Ascending, descending, thoracic, abdominal Coronary arteries Supply the heart  
🗑
Systemic Circulation: Veins   Return blood from body to right atrium -Major veins= Coronary sinus (heart) Superior vena cava (head, neck, thorax, upper limbs) Inferior vena cava (abdomen, pelvis, lower limbs) -Types of veins= Superficial, deep, sinuses  
🗑
Dynamics of Blood Circulation   Interrelationships between -Pressure -Flow -Resistance -Control mechanisms that regulate blood pressure -Blood flow through vessels  
🗑
Blood Pressure   Measure of force exerted by blood against the wall Blood moves through vessels because of blood pressure --Measured by listening for Korotkoff sounds produced by turbulent flow in arteries as pressure released from blood pressure cuff  
🗑
Pulse Pressure   Difference between systolic and diastolic pressures: --Increases when stroke volume increases or vascular compliance decreases --Pulse pressure can be used to take a pulse to determine heart rate and rhythmicity  
🗑
Blood Flow   -Amount of blood moving through a vessel in a given time period. -Directly proportional to pressure differences, inversely proportional to resistance  
🗑
Poiseuille’s Law   ---Flow decreases when resistance increases ---Flow resistance decreases when vessel diameter increases  
🗑
Viscosity   --Measure of resistance of liquid to flow --As viscosity increases, pressure required to flow increases  
🗑
Critical closing pressure   Pressure at which a blood vessel collapses and blood flow stops  
🗑
Laplace’s Law   Force acting on blood vessel wall is proportional to diameter of the vessel times blood pressure  
🗑
Vascular compliance   Tendency for blood vessel volume to increase as blood pressure increases More easily the vessel wall stretches, the greater its compliance Venous system has a large compliance and acts as a blood reservoir  
🗑


   

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.
