Cards

Term
Respitory system 3 functions
Definition
Transportation, Regulation, and Protection
Term
circulatory system components
Definition
Cardiovascular and lymphatic
Term
Cardiovascular System
Definition
heart- four chambered pump
Blood vessels- arteries, arteriols, veins, capillaries, venules
Term
lymphatic system
Definition
lymphatic vessels, tissues, organs
organs-spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils
Term
plasma proteins
Definition
Albumin- creates osmotic pressure by taking water from tissues into capillaries maintaining blood pressure and volume
globulin-some carry lipids
Term
gamma globulins
Definition
Antibodies
Fibrinogin-helps in clotting after becoming fibrin
Term
erythrocytes
Definition
red blood cells, lack nuclei and mitochondria, last 120 days, carry oxygen
Term
leukocytes
Definition
agranular
granular
have nuclei and mitochondria
Term
platelets (thrombocytes)
Definition
lack nuclei, short lived 5-9 days, clot blood, need fibrogen
Term
hematopoiesis, and leukopoiesis
Definition
formation of red blood cells,
formation of white blood cells
Term
Antigens
Definition
found on surface of cells to help immune system recognize self cells
Term
antibodies
Definition
secreted by lymphocytes in response to foreign cells
Term
pulmonary
Definition
between heart and lungs
pulmonary arteries-pumps blood to lungs
pulmonary veins-pumps blood to body
Term
systemic circulation
Definition
between heart and tissues
heart pumps blood via aorta
heart recieves blood via superior and inferior vena cavae
Term
heart sounds
Definition
lub-closing of aortic valve (systole)
dub-closing of semilunar valve (diastole)
Term
mitral stenosis
Definition
caused by calcifying of mitral valve and impairs flow between right atrium and ventricle, may result in pulmonary hypertension
Term
incompetent valves
Definition
when valves do not close properly can be caused by damaged papillary muscles
Term
septal defects
Definition
caused by holes in interventricular or interarterial septum...blood crosses sides
Term
systole diastole
Definition
systole-contraction of heart muscles
diastole-relaxation of heart muscles
Term
cardiac muscles are interconnected...
Definition
through gap junctions called intercalated discs
Term
SA node
Definition
sinalatrial node, located in right atrium
Term
pacemaker potential
Definition
"spontaneous depolarization"
Term
epinephrine and norepinephrin role in heart
Definition
produces more cAMP, which keeps NA+ channels open, which speeds up heart rate
Term
acetylcholine and parasympathetic response in heart
Definition
keeps NA+ channels open, Slows heart rate
Term
purkinje fibers
Definition
stimulate ventricular contraction
Term
electrocardiogram
Definition
measures electrical activity in heart by measuring the movement of ions in body tissues in response to this activity
Term
P wave
Definition
atrial depolarization
Term
QRS
Definition
ventricular depolarization
Term
S-T
Definition
Plateau phase
Term
T wave
Definition
ventricular repolarization
Term
lub occurs
Definition
after QRS wave
Term
dub occurs
Definition
after T wave
Term
Walls of arteries and veins...
Definition
have 3 tunics
1. tunica intima
2. media
3. externa
Term
Tunica Intima
Definition
Tunica Intima- composed of simple squamous endothelium on basement membrane with connective tissue
Term
Tunica Media
Definition
Middle layer, composed of smooth muscle tissue
Term
Tunica Externa
Definition
outer layer composed of connective tissue
Term
capillaries
Definition
single layer simple squamous epithelium, where gases and nutrients exchanged between tissues, blood flow regulated by vasoconstriction, and vasodilation
Term
types of capillaries
Definition
1. continuous capillaries- found in muscle add to blood brain barrier
2. fenestrated capillaries-have pores in vessel walls, found in kidneys, endocrine system, intestines
3. discontinuous-have gaps between cells, found in bone marrow,spleen, liver, allow for passage of proteins
Term
Atherosclerosis
Definition
Plaques intrude on the lumen and reduce blood flow
Term
ischemia
Definition
characterized by inadequate oxygen due to reduced blood flow
- atherosclerosis is most common cause
Term
ischemia effects
Definition
Angina-building up of lactic acid, resulting in pain
Myocardial infarction-necrosis of some areas of the heart (heart attack)
Term
detecting ischemia
Definition
depression of the S-T segment
Term
heart arrythmias
Definition
bradycardia-slow heart rate >60 bmp
Tachychardia- fast heart rate <100 bmp
normal during activity abnormal at rest
Term
flutter vs fibrilation
Definition
flutter- very fast heart beat(200-300 bmp) but beats in cordinated contractions
fibrilation-uncoordinated pumping between atria and ventricles
Term
ventricular fibrilation
Definition
ventricles cant pump blood, victim dies without cpr or electrical defibrilation to reset heart rythym
Term
AV node block
Definition
can be seen through changes in PR intervals
