Study Notes

Key Concepts in Cardiovascular Physiology

Blood is composed of formed elements (platelets, red and white blood cells) and plasma.
Platelets play a role in clotting, while white blood cells fight infections.
Individuals assigned male at birth have a greater hematocrit due to testosterone.
Sickle cell disease involves a mutation causing erythrocytes to take on a "sickle" shape, leading to reduced oxygen delivery.
Erythropoiesis is regulated by erythropoietin and increases in response to low oxygen levels.
Phagocytosis is performed by neutrophils and monocytes.
Thromboxane A and ADP, and von Willebrand factor play roles in platelet function and clotting.
Tissue factor is part of the extrinsic clotting pathway.
Hemoglobin binds oxygen at the globin chain and carbon dioxide at the heme group.
Heart valves prevent backflow of blood and facilitate stroke volume.
Platelets are stimulated to aggregate by thromboxane A and thromboplastin.
Cardiac cells share their intracellular fluid through intercalated discs and gap junctions.
