Question
Answer
show blood from the body flows into the right atrium, then the right ventricle, to be pumped to the lungs  
🗑
show Blood from the lungs goes into the left atrium, then the left ventricle, to be pumped to the body  
🗑
show ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) close to stop backflow into the atria; begins the cycle  
🗑
Diastole   show
🗑
Effects of increased heart rate   show
🗑
show systolic/ diastolic  
🗑
show cardiac output, blood volume, peripheral resistance, elasticity, viscosity  
🗑
cardiac output   show
🗑
show amount of blood in the system; greater volume= higher pressure needed to move it  
🗑
show difficulty of passing through blood vessels; more resistance= more pressure; as you go down the line, blood vessels get smaller and peripheral resistance increases  
🗑
show ease of stretching the blood vessels; less elasticity= higher bp (usually systolic)  
🗑
show blood thickness; thicker blood= more pressure  
🗑
individual factors/circumstances affecting blood pressure   show
🗑
show higher temp --> skin vessels expand--> bp drops; lower temps have the opposite effect  
🗑
activity   show
🗑
show stress, anger, or anxiety activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase blood pressure  
🗑
factors affecting hypertension (make it more likely)   show
🗑
blood composition   show
🗑
formed elements   show
🗑
show contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen; each cell lasts ~3 months  
🗑
anemia   show
🗑
erythrocytosis   show
🗑
sickle-cell anemia   show
🗑
show several types of white blood cells with protective functions like attacking bacteria  
🗑
leukemia   show
🗑
Leukopenia   show
🗑
Leukocytosis   show
🗑
Platelets   show
🗑
plasma   show
🗑
show accumulation of fatty plaque on artery walls  
🗑
arteriosclerosis   show
🗑
show heart attack caused by obstruction of the heart's blood supply  
🗑
angina pectoralis   show
🗑
show bulge in weakened artery wall section which can rupture; frequently in the aorta  
🗑
stroke   show
🗑
