What is the role of the cardiovascular system? - correct answer✔✔To deliver materials
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
throughout the body: ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
- to maintain the characteristics of the interstitial fluid
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
What are the 3 ways constancy of the interstitial fluid is maintained? - correct answer✔✔1.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Blood flow is adequate ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
2. Blood composition is appropriate
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
3. Diffusion distances are short
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
What is the pathway of blood flow through the heart?
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
(starting at the right atrium) (6 steps) - correct answer✔✔1. Blood enters right atrium from
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
vena cava ||\\//|| ||\\//||
2. Blood flows through the tricuspid valve into right ventricle
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
3. Blood flows through Pulmonic Valve into Pulmonary Artery to Lungs (pulmonary
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
circulation) ||\\//||
4. Blood flows from pulmonary veins into Left atrium.
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
5. Blood flows through mitral valve into left ventricle
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
6. Blood flows through the aortic valve into Aorta to the body (systemic circulation)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
What are the 5 requirements for effective heart operation? - correct answer✔✔1. The
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
contractions of individual cardiac muscle cells must occur at regular intervals and be ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
synchronized (not arrhythmic) ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
2. The valves must open fully (not stenotic)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
, 3. The valves must not leak (not insufficient or regurgitant)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
4. The muscle contractions must be forceful (not failing)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
5. The ventricles must fill adequately during diastole
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
What are the 2 circuits of the cardiovascular system? - correct answer✔✔Pulmonary and
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Systemic
The heart is a __________ pump? - correct answer✔✔Dual
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
What are the two circulations linked and series and what are they known for? - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
answer✔✔Systemic Circulation - to the head and body ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Pulmonary Circulation - to the lungs ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
How are the pulmonary and the systemic circuits connected to each other? - correct
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
answer✔✔They are connected in series ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
