Study Notes
Cardiovascular System Concepts
- Ventricular systole: High pressure in the ventricles pushes blood into arteries; atria are in diastole.
- Sequence of events during ventricular emptying:
- Intraventricular pressure begins to rise.
- Atrioventricular (AV) valves close.
- Isovolumetric contraction occurs.
- Intraventricular pressure exceeds arterial pressure.
- Semilunar valves open.
- Blood is ejected from the ventricles.
Root Words and Their Meanings
- vas-: Means "vessel."
- -tension: Means "pressure."
- cardi-: Means "heart."
- scler-: Means "hard."
- hepat-: Means "liver."
Medical Conditions and Procedures
- Hepatitis: Infection of the liver.
- Vascular surgeon: Specialist who repairs damaged blood vessels.
- Pericardium: Membrane protecting the heart.
- Arteriosclerosis: Condition where arteries become hardened.
- Hypotension: Lower than normal blood pressure.
Cardiac Events and Waves
- P wave: Represents atrial depolarization; first wave on ECG after SA node firing.
- QRS complex: Indicates ventricular depolarization; precedes ventricular contraction.
- T wave: Reflects repolarization of the ventricles.
Phases of the Cardiac Cycle
- Mid-to-late diastole: Atria contract, AV valves are open, blood fills ventricles from veins, aiding preparation for systole.
- Systole: Ventricles contract, pushing blood into arteries.
- Early diastole: Ventricles relax after contraction.
Summary of Cardiac Cycle Events
- Blood passively flows through atria and AV valves.
- Pressure in receiving chambers increases; blood exits through AV valves.
- All valves close; ventricular pressure rises.
- High ventricular pressure forces blood through semilunar valves.
- Ventricular pressure decreases once valves are closed.
Blood Properties
- Blood viscosity: Friction red blood cells face moving past each other.
- Cardiac output: Volume of blood pumped by one ventricle each minute.
- Blood pressure: Force of blood against vessel walls.
- Total peripheral resistance: Friction blood encounters during vessel flow.
Factors Affecting Blood Pressure
- Blood pressure increases with a decrease in blood vessel diameter.
