Cards

Term
cardiac output
Definition
amount of blood pumped per minute per ventricle
CO= stroke volume x heart rate
how much times how fast
Term
heart rate
Definition
increased by sympathetic stimulation
decreased by parasympathetic (delays pacemaker potential so it doesn't reach threshold as quickly)
Term
chronotropic effect
Definition
things that affect HR
increase heart rate=positive
decrease heart rate= negative
Term
three influences of stroke volume
Definition
EDV (preload) how much is left in heart before contraction
Total Peripheral Resistance (after load) resistance of blood vessels
Contractility- the hearts own ability to contract/ how strong
Term
frank starling law of the heart
Definition
^ EDV-> ^contractility-> ^SV

( ↑ TPR → ↓ SV → ↑ EDV next cycle → ↑ contractility → ↑ SV)
Term
extrinsic control from sympathetic and adrenal gland
Definition
- cause increase in contractility (Inotropic Effect)
- no direct effect from parasympathetic on contractility
Term
venus return
Definition
affects EDV
depends on blood volume and venous pressure
flow is driven by pressure difference between venues
Term
Body water
Definition
2/3 intracellular
1/3 extracellular 80% interstitial
20% plasma
Term
two forces that act on fluid exchange
Definition
hydrostatic pressures
osmotic pressures
Term
hydrostatic pressure
Definition
pressure in a fluid that is set up by a pump
tends to push more on the arterial side
Term
osmotic pressure
Definition
the pressure needed to prevent osmosis
mostly caused by albumen in blood vessels
Term
Net filtration pressure
Definition
difference in hydrostatic pressures between capillaries and intersticial fluid
Term
oncotic pressure
Definition
difference in collodial osmotic pressure between capillaries and interstitial fluid
Term
how is there a continuous exchange of pressure between capillaries and tissues?
Definition
85% of fluid that leave caps return to caps at the end of bed
15% returns via lymphatics
Term
edema
Definition
swelling
excess fluid accumulated in tissues
