16. What is the cardiac cycle? | Series of pressure chngs within the heart during on heartbeat |
17. What is systole? | Contraction of a chamber |
17. What is diastole? | Relaxation of a chamber |
18. Understand the steps of the cardiac cycle. | 1. Atrial Systole: blood pushed into ventr thru open AV valves, semilunar valves closed/2. Ventricular Systole: blood is pushed into aorta and pulmonary trunk thru open semilunar valves/3. Diastole: AV chambers relaxed, AV valv open, Semilu Valv closed. |
19. What is EDV? | End-diastolic vol: Maximum vol held by the ventricles at the end of ventricular diastole |
19. What is ESV? | End-systolic vol: Minimum vol held by the ventricles at the end of ventricular systole |
20. How is stroke volume calculated? | Vol of blood ejected by the left ventricle during systole |
21. How is cardiac output calculated? | CO=HRxSV |
22. What factors affect cardiac output? | Adjusted changes in heart rate or stroke volume |
1. Which vessels carry blood away from the heart? | Arteries |
2. Which vessels carry blood to the heart? | Veins |
3. What are the three layers of blood vessel walls? | Tunica intima/ Tunica media/ Tunica externa |
4. What are the key differences between arteries and veins? (slide 9) | Thicker walls & higher blood pressure/ Collapsed A has small, round lumen/ lining folds/ more elastic/// Large, flat lumen/ Has valves |
5. What are the three sizes of arteries? Which are largest and which are smallest? Understand all structural and functional differences. | Elastic arteries: Conducting arteries/ lrg vessels (pulm trunk & aorta)/ Tun media has many elastic fibers and few muscle cells/ Elasticity evens out pulse force |
6. What is the function of capillaries? | Location of all exchange functions of cardiovascular system/ Mats diffuse btwn blood and interstitial fluid |
7. What are the three sizes of veins? Which are largest and which are smallest? Understand all structural and | Large veins: Have all three tunica layers (Thick tunica externa, thin tunica media) |
8. What are venous valves? Why do veins need valves? | Fold of tunica intima// Prevents blood from flowing backward. Compression pushes blood toward heart |
9. What are systolic and diastolic pressure? | Peak arterial pressure during ventricular contraction// Minimum arterial pressure during ventricular relaxation |
10. What is normal blood pressure and what do these numbers refer to? | 120/80 (millimeters of mercury) |
11. Where is blood pressure typically measured? | Brachial artery |
12. Why do athletes have lower resting HR than nonathletes? | Stronger heart muscles due to exercise/ Lgr stroke vol= fewer BPM |
13. Why is maintaining constant blood flow to the brain important? | Brain has high O2 demand (20%)/ Drives nearly all activites that maintain life/consciousness |
14. Where do fetuses get oxygenated blood? | Placenta |
1. Why is oxygen necessary in the body? | Cells use oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP |
2. What are the five functions of the respiratory system? | Produces extensive gas exchange surface area btwn air and circulating blood/ Moves air to and from exchange surfaces of lungs/ Protects respiratory surfaces from outside environment/ Produces sounds/ Participates in olfactory sense |
3. What is the dividing line between the upper and lower respiratory system? | Larynx |
4. The pharynx is a shared component of two different organ systems. What are they? | Digestive and respiratory systems |
5. What is the function of the tracheal cartilages? | Strengthens and protects airway |
6. Know the structural differences between the right and left lungs and why they exist. | Right lung: 3 lobes, wider, displaced upward by liver/ Left lung: Two lobes, longer, displaced upward by heart |
7. Understand bronchodilation and bronchoconstriction. | Dilation. Sympathetic ANS/ Constriction. Parasympathetic ANS |
8. What are alveoli? What occurs at alveoli? | Tiny saclike structures within pulmonary lobules/ Gas exchange |

9. What type of epithelium is the alveolar epithelium? What are the three types of specialized cells found there?
