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  
🗑
fluid dynamics factors of blood pressure   show
🗑
show blood volume pumped per minute; more output= higher bp  
🗑
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)  
🗑
viscosity   show
🗑
individual factors/circumstances affecting blood pressure   show
🗑
environmental temperature   show
🗑
show exercise increases pressure as does posture; standing decreases pressure in the veins to the heart due to gravity, bp falls  
🗑
emotions   show
🗑
factors affecting hypertension (make it more likely)   show
🗑
show formed elements and plasma  
🗑
show cells and cell-like structures making up 45% of the blood  
🗑
show contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen; each cell lasts ~3 months  
🗑
anemia   show
🗑
erythrocytosis   show
🗑
show genetic abnormality of RBC's including hemoglobin; more common in blacks; may help malaria resistance  
🗑
show several types of white blood cells with protective functions like attacking bacteria  
🗑
show malignancy where abnormal WBC's are overproduced and crowd out other blood cells  
🗑
Leukopenia   show
🗑
show excess white cells, usually to fight infection  
🗑
Platelets   show
🗑
show 90% water; about 55% of the blood; includes plasma proteins, nutrients from digestion, enzymes, hormones, waste products, etc.  
🗑
atherosclerosis   show
🗑
arteriosclerosis   show
🗑
myocardial infarction   show
🗑
angina pectoralis   show
🗑
aneurysm   show
🗑
show disruption of blood supply to the brain by thrombosis (blood clot) or vessel rupture; Problem: must determine the cause quickly (thrombosis can be treated with chemicals to break up the clot)  
🗑


   

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.
