Q

What is the order of the circulation of the heart?

A
Venous capillaries
Veins
Heart
Arteries
Arterioles
Arterial capillaries
Venules
2
Q

Purpose of the heart

A
  • returning oxygen poor blood from body to right heart
  • Pumped into lungs
  • Exchanged for oxygen rich blood returning to Left heart
  • Pumped into systemic circulation
3
Q

Heart structures

A

-2 pumps
–R-pulmonic circulation
–L- systemic circulation
4 valves
–AV- Mitral & Tricuspid
–SL- Pulmonic & Aortic
3 Layers
–Epicardium
–Myocardium
–Endocardium
Electrical system

4
Q

Conduction system

A
  • An electrical impulse is initiated by the SA node, which is the hearts pacemaker (intrinsic rate of 60-100 bpm); this causes depolarization of the cells & contraction of the atria
  • It then travels to the AV node (intrinsic rate 40-60 bpm) and moves through the bundle of His & the left right bundle branches
  • The action potential diffuses widely through the walls of both ventricle by means of the Purkinje fibers (intrinsic rate of 20-40 bpm), triggering ventricular contraction
5
Q

Right and left branch off the aorta

A

Grip the heart and feed from the surface inward. They dilate with exercise

6
Q

Functioning of circulation depends on

A
  • Pump
  • Electricity
  • Volume
7
Q

Oxygenation: Decreased cardiac output=

A

Ineffective tissue perfusion which leads to Impaired gas exchange which leads to Activity intolerance= Hypoxia

8
Q

Cardiac output=

A

Heart rate x Stroke volume

9
Q

Ejection Fraction

A

Percentage of blood ejected from the heart during systole- 60-80% normal

10
Q

Preload

A

The degree of fiber stretch at the end of diastole- determined by volume returning to the heart.

11
Q

Afterload

A

The pressure or resistance the ventricles must overcome to eject blood through the SL valves

12
Q

PVR or SVR

A

Resistance of the arterial walls. If B/P is increased-PVR is decreased

13
Q

Neuro Regulation: Sympathetics

A

Stimulate Alpha 1-peripheral

Beta 1- Cardiac

14
Q

Neuro Regulation: Parasympathetic

A

Inhibits valves

15
Q

Neuro Regulation: Receptors in aortic and carotid

A

Stretch sensitive, acid and oxygen sensitive. When stretched by volume, B/P is high

16
Q

Cardiac Regulation

A

The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

17
Q

Parasympathetics

A

Receptor are muscarinic and are located in smooth muscle; activation (as in vagal stimulation) causes decreased HR ans slower conduction

18
Q

Sympathetics

A

Increase HR , speed of impulse conduction and the force of contractions a (in heart)- increased contractility a (in smooth muscle)- vasoconstriction. B (in heart)- increased HR, increased conduction, increased contractility. Dopaminergic (located in coronary, renal, mesenteric, and visceral vessels)- increased dilation.

19
Q

Cardiac regulation/Hormonal response- Angiotensin

A

as CO decreases, kidneys release renin= angiotensinogen which causes vasoconstriction (increased BP) and release of aldosterone

20
Q

Cardiac regulation/Hormonal response- Aldosterone

A

Causes Na+ retention, which makes body retain water to increase blood volume to increase CO

21
Q

Cardiac regulation/Hormonal response- Antidiuretic Hormone

A

hold unto urine, so volume increases

22
Q

Circulation assessment basics:

A
BP
---normal 120-80
