Term
Purpose of circulatory system
Definition
maintain proper volume, composition,and temperature of interstitial fluid
Term
CV does what?
Definition
deliver O2 and nutrients to cells, remove CO2, and other waste products
Term
3 components of CV system
Definition
heart pump, vessels, blood
Term
What occurs in open circulatory system?
Definition
blood leaves the vasculature and mixes with interstitial fluid, then re enters thorugh openings in pumps or vessels
Term
What happens in closed circulatory systems?
Definition
blood stays in vessels but fluid and molecules can leave and return due to pressure
Term
Functions of blood
Definition
transport O2, CO2, nutrients, solutes, wastes, hormones, immune cells and helps regulate pH and temp
Term
What is blood composed of
Definition
plasma 50-60% of volume, cellular components 40-50% of volume
Term
What is plasma made of
Definition
water, proteins, ions, sugars, lipids, amino acids, hormones, vitamins, dissolved genes
Term
What is the cellular portion made of?
Definition
white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, red blood cells, platelets
Term
chronic
Definition
reduced production or blood loss
Term
hemmorhagic
Definition
sudden blood loss
Term
hemolytic
Definition
lysis of RBC from bactiera or protists
Term
B12 deficiency
Definition
often vegetarians get
Term
sickle cell or thalessemias (globbin affected)
Definition
Term
Polycythemias
Definition
too many red blood cells
Term
Leukemias
Definition
increased WBC production (cancer)
Term
ABO
Definition
type A has antibodies to type B markers, AB has neither A nor B markers; O has both A and B antibodies
Term
Rh factor:
Definition

Rh+ people have the Rh marker

Rh- people will make Abs against Rh+ if exposed

Term
erythroblastosis fetalis
Definition
2nd Rh+ child
Term
Arteries are made of:
Definition

intima (endothelium)

media (smooth muscle)

adventitia (mostly CT)

Term
Arteries
Definition

carry ox blood mostly

hihg pressure, little resistance, smooth out pulse of heart (systolic vs distolic presure)

adventitia contains symp nerves to reg. flow

Term
veins:
Definition

less smooth muscle and elastin fibersĀ 

low pressure, return detox blood, have valves

Term
what is capillaries composed of ?
Definition
single layer of epithelium (endothelium) with a basement membrane
Term
continuous capillaries
Definition
endothelial cells joined by tight junctions and clefts (can pull apart and increase permeability)
Term
fenestrated capillaries
Definition
have small holes or fenestrations that allow more/rapid movement of small particles
Term
what is pressured in blood pressure
Definition
arterial pressures in large vessels
Term
hypertensions
Definition
high blood pressure
Term
causes of hypertension
Definition

too much blood (kidneys not ridding or excess salt)

too much squeezing (Angiotensin, NE, etc)

most times cause is unknown (often genetic)

treat with diurectics, ACE inhibitors, Ca++ blockers

Term
where is av valve?
Definition
between atria and ventricles
Term
chordae tendiane and attahed where
Definition
to valves
Term
papillary muscles
Definition
contract to prevent prolapse of valves
Term
intraventricular septum
Definition
separates sides
Term
semilunar valves
Definition
prevent blood reentering heart from aorta or pulmonarty artery
Term
valvular insufficiency
Definition
valve does not properly prevent reflux
Term
cause of valvular insufficiency
Definition
from rheymatic fever (autoimmune disease in whihc bacterial targeted Abs also attacked valves)
Term
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Definition
the mitral/left AV/bicupspid valve prolapses into atrum upon ventricular contraction (may fatigue)
