        Help!  

Term
Definition
what is the name of the space in a blood vessel where blood flows   lumen

🗑
from outermost to innermost what are the 3 tunica of an artery   tunica adventitia, tunica media, tunica intima

what is the inner lining of the heart called   endocardium  
🗑
where would you find the sulci of the heart   grooved areas filled with fat that divide the left and right ventricles and atria  
🗑
where is the interatrial septum found   between the walls of the atria  
🗑
where can the interventricular septum be found   the thicker wall between ventricles  
🗑
what chambers of the heart function to receive blood from the veins   left and right atrium  
🗑
what are the two bottom chambers of the heart called   ventricles  
🗑
what is the scientific term for "heart strings"   chordae tendinea  
🗑
what does prolapse refer to in regards to the heart   when valves open backwards  
🗑
what does regurgitation refer to in terms of the heart   when there is a failure of the valves  
🗑
what are the papillary muscles and their function   they connect to chordae tendinea in order to help flex and open the valves within the heart  
🗑
which side of the heart has a thicker ventricular wall and why   the left side because it needs to pump blood much further through the body  
🗑
what is the largest artery in the human body   Vena Cava  
🗑
what is angina   a partial obstruction of blood flow which may cause chest pain  
🗑
what is an infarction   the complete obstruction of blood flow which may cause death  
🗑
what is CABG   Coronary artery bypass graft, bypassing major blocks in the blood vessels (with a vein) to the heart to improve the hearts ability to pump blood  
🗑
what does myogenic mean   the heartbeat originates in the heart  
🗑
what does auto-rhythmic mean   the heartbeat is regular or spontaneous depolarization  
🗑
what region of the heart is referred to as the pacemaker   SA Node  
🗑
follow an electric impulse through the heart   Sa node, av node, av bundle (bundle of his), bundle branches, purkinje fibers  
🗑
what is the importance of the plateau in a heart cells action potential   it allows the heart to completely empty and refill  
🗑
What is an ECG (EKG)   electrocardiogram, checkin the electrical activity of the whole heart  
🗑
What does the P-wave signify   atrial depolarization (first small hump)  
🗑
What does the P-R interval signify   from start of atrial depolarization to start of the QRS complex  
🗑
What does the QRS complex signify   ventricle depolarization  
🗑
What does the Q-T interval signify   ventricle depolarization to ventricle repolarization  
🗑
What does the T-wave signify   ventricle repolarization (2nd small hump)  
🗑
What is PVC? Can this be a normal occurence?   Occurs when purkinje cells or ventricular myocardial cells depolarize to threshold and trigger premature contractions  
🗑
What is V-Tac   4 or more PVC's without intervening normal beats  
🗑
what is systole   atrial/ventricular contraction  
🗑
what is diastole   atrial/ventricular relaxation  
🗑
Cardiac output   heart rate X stoke volume (the amount of blood ejected by the ventricle in 1 minute  
🗑
pulse   a surge of pressure within the arteries  
🗑
tachycardia   when the resting HR is above 100  
🗑
bradycardia   when the resting HR is below 60 (normal for fit people)  
🗑
what is preload   the amount of tension in the ventricular myocardium before it contracts  
🗑
predict the effects of chronotropic chemicals: catecholamines   NE and epinephrine (cardiac stimulants), increased HR  
🗑
predict the effects of chronotropic chemicals: caffeine   inhibits camp breakdown  
🗑
predict the effects of chronotropic chemicals: nicotine   stimulates catecholamine secretions  
🗑
predict the effects of chronotropic chemicals: thyroid hormone   increase HR, increases sensitivity to sympathetic stimulation, and increases adrenergic receptors in the heart  
🗑
explain contractility   the contraction force for a given preload, contractility can be increased by hypercalcemia, catecholamines, glucagon, and digitalis, or decreased due to hyperklaemia and hypocalcemia  
🗑
explain how digitalis works to increase cardiac contractility   increases intracellular concentrations of calcium  
🗑
explain afterload   caused by the perssure in arteries above the semilunar valves apposing the opening of valves  
🗑
what happens to cardiac output when a person "warms up" during exercise   the HR increases  
🗑
symptoms of left heart failure   inability to pump into systemic circulation, the left side tends to fall first, and may be caused by stress or myocardial infarction. Edema may occur in the lungs  
🗑
symptoms of right heart failure   inability for the right side to adequately pump venous blood into pulmonary circulation, edema can occur in our hands, feet and rest of our body  
🗑
where is majority of blood distributed during exercise   muscular system  
🗑
at rest where is majority of blood distribution in the human occurring   veins  
🗑
what is blood flow   the rate of blood flowing through a tissue in a given time  
🗑
what is perfusion   the rate of blood flow per a given mass of tissue  
🗑
mathematical relationship between blood flow, pressure, and resistance a.    
🗑
what is blood pressure   pressure in the arteries  
🗑
what is capillary hydrostatic pressure   pressure within the capillary beds  
🗑
what is venous pressure   pressure in the venous system  
🗑
what is TPR   total peripheral resistance  
🗑
what is vascular resistance   friction between the blood vessels and the walls

🗑
what factors affect local blood pressure and flow   metabolic theory of auto regulation, vasoactive chemicals, reactive hyperemia, angiogenesis  
🗑
where are baroreceptors and how do they restore homeostasis to the body   can be found in the aortic arch and carotid sinus as well as other large arteries restoring homeostasis through negative feedback loops  
🗑
what are chemoreceptors   receptors found in aortic and carotid bodies like the aortic arch and subclavian/external carotid arteries. They monitor pH  
🗑
How do chemoreceptors respond to hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis   hypoxemia or hypercapnia may cause acidosis in the blood stream, so the pH may lower  
🗑
what are the effects of Angiotensin II   increase aldosterone production, increases ADH production, increases thirst, increases cardiac output (BP)  
🗑
where does ANP and BNP come from   ANP is produced by cells in the right atrium, BNP is produced by ventricular muscle cells  
🗑
what effect do ANP and BNP ave on the cardiovascular system when released   increased BP and blood volume cause release, release then causes a variety of things such as increase Na+ loss in urine, water loss in urine, reduced thirst, etc. to overall cause reduced blood volume  
🗑
