Term
Which chamber of the heart recieves venous blood from the body
Definition
Right atrium
Term

Definition
Pulmonary veins
Term
Most arteries are paired with what exceptions
Definition
Aorta, Celiac, Superior and Inferior Mesenteric
Term
What chamber of the heart has the thickest tunica media
Definition
Left Ventricle
Term
What arteries supply the heart? When does blood flow to the heart: contraction or relaxation?
Definition
Right and Left Coronary arteries which come off the aorta.
Blood flows to heart muscle when its relaxing
Term
What is the blood flow through the heart
Definition
Body-->Vena Cava-->Right atrium-->Tricuspid Valve-->Right Ventricle-->Pulmonary Valve-->Pulmonary artery-->lungs-->Pulmonary veins-->left atrium-->Mitral valve-->left ventricle-->Aortic valve-->aorta-->body
Term
Systole is ____ of the ___
Diastole is ___ of the ___
Definition
contraction of the ventricles
relaxation of the ventricles (if you relax too much you'll dia)
Term
What causes the first heart sound (lub)?
The second heart sound (dub)
Definition
Lub - Tricuspid Mitral (Try My)
Dub - Aortic Pulmonary (Apple Pie)
Term
What causes QT on EKG?
TR?
P
QRS?
T?
PR
QT?
Which wave gets shorter with increased heart rate
Definition
QT -- Systole
TR -- Diastole
P - Atrial depolarization
QRS -- Ventricular Depolarization
T -- Ventricular repolarization
PR - atrial depolarization -->ventricular depolarization = blood going from atrium to ventricles
QT = systole cycle, gets shorter with increased heart rate
Term
What are the four mechanical steps
Definition
1. Isovolumic Contraction
2. Ventricular (Systolic) Ejection
3. Isovolumic Relaxation
4. Ventricular Filling
Term
What is a possible cause of the S3 heart sound? S4?
Definition
S3 - CHF
S4- Hypertrophic Ventricle
Term
Which has the rapid spread through the ventricles? AV node or His Purkinje fibers
Definition
His purkinje fibers
Term
What is considered the pacemaker of the heart?
Definition
AV node -- it self generates action potentials to spread to the other cells
Term
What occurs when the timing or path of electrical depolarization in the heart is altered from abnormal stimuli of cardiac action potentials or when abnormal conduction pathways are present
Definition
Arrhythmias
Term
Which channels cause depolarization in Phase 0 in the fast ventricular action potentials vs. slow pacemaker action potentials?
Definition
Phase 0 depolarization caused by Na in ventricular
Caused by Ca channels in pacemaker AP
Term
Which channels are faster? Na channels or L gated Ca channels
Definition
Na channels, Ca channels are slow
Term
What determines the heart rate?
Definition
Speed of the SA node
Term
What 2 factors determine blood flow through a vessel
Definition
1. resistance of blood flow thru the vessel
2. Pressure differences @ beginning and end of vessel
Term
Where is the resistance to blood flow the highest? Where is the steepest drop in presssure
Definition
arterioles, thi sis due to the small diameter, larger diameter = less resistance. The reason capillaries are not a higher resistance is due to how many are in parallel, this decreases their resistance
Term
Rate of blood flow is what proportion to the radius? to the vessel length and viscosity?
Definition
Rate of flow DIRECTLY prop to fourth power of the radius of the vessel
INVERSELY proportional to vessel length and viscosity
Term
What causes blood to be "noisy" What causes these noises: Murmurs, Bruit, Korotokoff?
Definition
Turbulance causes blood to be noisy
Murmurs - from valves ex. reguritation
Bruit -- Arteries (stenosis/shunt)
Korotkoff -- tells BP in arteries, an indirect measures of BP, which we listen to with stethoscope
Term
What is the equation for blood flow
Definition
Flow = change in pressure/resistance
Term
What is the total peripheral resistance? What can decrease the total peripheral resistance?
Definition
The sum of all the vascular resistance within the systemic circulation. Vasodilation can decrease.
Term
What determines the colloid osmotic pressure
Definition
Plasma protein albumin #1
Term
What is hydrostatic pressure
Definition
fluid pressure generated from the heart
Term
Which ANS is responsible for the baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinuses?
What can these baroreceptors effect?
What nerves are utilized?
What portion of the brain does it go to?
Definition
Sympathetic system is responsible for baroreceptors
they can effect HR and total peripheral resistance
Signal are via Vagus (aortic) and glossopharygeal (Carorid) --
Send to the medulla oblangata
Term
What are three chemical mediators that can raise blood pressure
Definition
ADH -- comes from post pituitary by osmoreceptors in hypothalamus
Angiotensin II -- most potent constrictor in body
Aldosterone -- released by adrenal cortex
Term
What is the ejection fractio
Definition
the amt of blood pumped out of a ventricle with each heartbeat

Stroke Volume/End Diastolic Volume
Term
What is the stroke volume
Definition
the difference between the end diastolic volume and and end systolic volume. The end diastolic volume is the blood in a ventricle BEFORE it contracts where the end systolic volume is the amount left AFTER it contracts
Term
What is a normal value for ejection fraction? What if the fraction is less than this?
Definition
Normal EF = >50%
If it is less than this, pt has had heart damage from HA or CHF
Term
What is the Heart Rate
Definition
Amut of blood per min/pulse
Term
What is the equation for cardiac output
Definition
CO = Stroke Volume x Heart Rate
Term
What is the Cardiac Output and what is the normal value?
Definition
Cardiac output is the amt of blood ejected from the heart per unit of time. Normal value = 5 L/min
Term
What three factors can affect Stroke volume
Definition
1. Contractility
2. Afterload - diastolic arterial pressure = peripheral resistance
3. Preload - ventricular end diastolic volume
Increases: Increase in Preload and Contractility
DECREASE in afterload
Term
What increases stroke volume and contractility?
What decreases them?
Definition
Increases: increased INTRAcellular Ca, decreased Extracellular Na, digitalis (b/c increases intracellular Na), and sympathetic stimulation
Decrease: Heart failure, loss of heart cells due to infarction, acidosis, hypoxia
Term

Definition
Squamous cell - stratum spinosum
Basal cell - stratum basal
Term
Tanning causes an increase in the number of ____ vs. Malignant melanoma which causes an increase in the number of ___
Definition
tanning increases the number of melanosomes and malignant melanoma increases the number of melanocytes
Term
What is the most common intraocular cancer in the eye
Definition
malignant melanoma
Term
A primary malignant melanoma (starting in eye) will metastasize to what location first(commonly)
A secondary cancer to the eye is most likely to come from what location from men? from women?
