Question
Answer
coronary artery circulation   systemic circulation that supplies the myocardium with oxygen and nutrients and removes waste  
🗑
cardiac output (CO)   stroke volume X heart rate  
🗑
stroke volume   amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each contraction  
🗑
diffusion   process for the exchange of respiratory gases in the alveoli and the capillaries of the body tissue  
🗑
Hypovelmia   fluid loss = increased heart rate and peripheral vasoconstriction  
🗑
Increased Metabolic Rate   decreases oxygen demand = increased in carbon dioxide in the body  
🗑
dysrhythmias   deviation from the normal sinus heart rhythym  
🗑
Valvular heart disease   acquired or congenital disorder of a cardiac valve, characterized by stenosis or regurgitation of blood  
🗑
stenosis   an abnormal narrowing in a blood vessel or other tubular organ or structure  
🗑
angina pectoris   transient imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand  
🗑
myocardial ischemia   supply of blood to the myocardium from the coronary arteries is insufficient to meet myocardial oxygen demands  
🗑
myocardial infarction (heart attack)   sudden decrease in coronary blood flow or an increase in myocardial oxygen demand without adequate coronary perfusion  
🗑
hyperventilation   a state of ventilation in excess of that required to eliminate the carbon dioxide produced by cellular metabolism  
🗑
hypoventilation   occurs when alveolar ventilation is inadequate to meet the body's oxygen demand or to eliminate sufficient carbon dioxide  
🗑
atelectasis   collapse of the alveoli, prevents the normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide - results in hypoventilation  
🗑
hypoxia   inadequate tissue oxygenation at the cellular level  
🗑
causes of hypoxia   1) ↓ hemoglobin level & ↓ O2-carrying capacity of the blood 2) diminished concentration of inspired O2 3) inability of tissue to extract oxygen from the blood 4) ↓ diffusion of O2 from alveoli to blood 5) poor tissue perfusion with O2 blood  
🗑
cyanosis   blue discoloration of skin and mucous membranes caused by the presence of desaturated hemoglobin in capillaries (late stage of hypoxia)  
🗑
sputum   mucus that is coughed up from the lower airways  
🗑
diastole   chambers fill  
🗑
systole   chambers empty  
🗑
inspiration   The inhalation of air into the lungs; active process  
🗑
expiration   the act of expelling air from the lungs; passive process  
🗑
orthopnea   shortness of breath when lying flat  
🗑


   

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.
