A&P II Final, Pt 3

QuestionAnswer
What is the major function of each of the four chambers of the heart? (slide 6) R Atrium: Collects blood from systemic circuit/ R Ventricle: Pumps blood to pulmonary circuit/L Atrium: Collects blood from pulmonary circuit/L Ventricle: Pumps blood to systemic circuit
2. Understand the superficial anatomy of the heart, being able to identify and describe each of these parts: left and right atrium, left and right ventricle, superior and inferior vena cava, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary veins, aorta.
3. Which laver of the heart wall is responsible for contraction? Myocardium
4. Understand the flow of blood through the heart.
5. What is the reason for the structural differences between the left and right ventricles?
6. Know when the AV valves are open and closed and when the semilunar valves are open and closed. Ventricles relaxed; AV valves open and semilunar valves closed/ Ventricles contract; AV valves closed and semilunar valves open
7. What is the blood supply to the heart itself called? Coronary circulation
8. What causes coronary artery disease? Partial or complete blockage of coronary circulation
9. What is happening during a myocardial infarction? Heart attack/ Part of the coronary circulation becomes blocked, cardiac muscle cells die from lack of oxygen
10. What is the conducting system? Specialized cardiac muscle cells/ initiates and distributes electrical impulses that stimulate contraction
11. Does the heart require input from any other systems in order to beat? Yes/ SA node
12. Understand the five steps of impulse conduction through the heart. Impulses is generated at the SA node/ Impulse passes to AV node/ Through AV bundle/ Through L&R bundle branches/ To purkinje fibers
13. What is an electrocardiogram? A recording of electrical events in the heart/ obtained by electrodes at spec body loc/ abnormal patterns diagnose dmg or disorder
14. What is a cardiac arrhythmia? Abnormal variations in the contraction of the heart
15. What is a defibrillator and what does it do? Detect arrhythmias and respond by sending an electric shock through the body/ shock can reset heart rhythm
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? What are their functions? Inner lining, simple squamous/ Thin, Pneumocytes type I/ Pneumocytes type II/ Alveolar macrophages
9. What type of epithelium is the alveolar epithelium? What are the three types of specialized cells found there? What are their FUNCTIONS? Pneumocytes type I: Form part of the membrane across which gas exchange occurs/ Pneumocytes Type II: Produce surfactant// Alveolar macrophages: Clean up dust, bacteria, or allergens
10. What is the respiratory membrane? Thin membrane lining alveoli across which gas exchange takes place/ Made up of pneumocytes type I, capillaries, elastic fibers
11. Why is diffusion across the respiratory membrane very rapid? Short distance & gases are lipid soluble
12. Understand each of the three integrated processes of respiration. Pulmonary ventilation: Breathing. Getting air from environment into the lungs/ External respiration: gases to lungs & bloodstream/ Internal respiration: gases to bloodstream and body tissues
13. Understand the difference in inhalation and exhalation in terms of which is active, passive, or both. Inhalation=active/ Exhalation=active or passive (muscles not needed to exhale but can be used)
14. Understand external respiration. Gases are exchanged between the lungs and bloodstream
15. Understand internal respiration. Gases are exchanged between bloodstream and body tissues
16. What causes oxygen and carbon dioxide to move to the right places? O2 from air is exchanged for CO2 from the bloodstream/ Becomes oxygenated/ O2 diffuses into bloodstream & pumped back to the heart/ CO2 diffuses into the air % expelled through exhalation
17. Blood arriving in alveolar capillaries has _____ O2 and ______ CO2. (high/low) Low/High
18. Blood arriving in peripheral capillaries has _____ O2 and _____ CO2. (high/low) High/ Low
19. In alveolar capillaries, which gas will enter blood and which gas will leave blood? O2 to enter and CO2 to leave
20. In peripheral capillaries, which gas will enter blood and which gas will leave blood? CO2 diffuse into blood/ O2 diffuse out of blood
5. What are the three sizes of arteries? Which are largest and which are smallest? Understand all structural and functional differences. Muscular arteries: distribution arteries/ Median sized/ tunica media has many muscle cells
5. What are the three sizes of arteries? Which are largest and which are smallest? Understand all structural and functional differences. Arterioles: small/ Little or no tunica externa/ Thin or incomplete tunica media
