Study Notes
Anatomy and Physiology of Cardiovascular System
- The cardiovascular system is comprised of the heart and blood vessels.
- The heart has 4 chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
- The heart has 4 valves: tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic.
- The heart's conduction system controls the heart's rhythm.
- The cardiovascular system is responsible for managing blood supply, producing blood pressure, ensuring one-way blood flow, and transmitting blood.
Alterations in Perfusion
- Low blood pressure can lead to poor tissue perfusion and shock.
- Hypotension is a late sign of compromise and care should begin before it occurs.
- Hypertension is often undiagnosed and can lead to poor health outcomes.
- Shock is a critical condition caused by a sudden drop in blood flow throughout the body.
- Shock can be caused by trauma, heatstroke, blood loss, or an allergic reaction.
