    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.
