Disorders of the Cardiovascular System
pericardium: double walled sac that surrounds heart, has two layers
- Parietal layer: lines, internal surface of fibrous pericardium
- Visceral layer: on external surface of heart
3 layers of the heart
- Epicardium: visceral layer of serous pericardium
- Myocardium: circular/ spiral bundles of contractile cardiac muscle cells
- Endocardium: innermost layer , continuous with endothelial lining of blood cells

pulse
blood pressure
respiratory rate
body temp
- oxygen poor blood superior/inferior vena cava
- travels to right atrium
- through the tricuspid valve
- into the right ventricle forcing blood out
- through pulmonary semilunar valve
- through pulmonary trunk/ artery
- goes to the lungs (blood turns oxygenated)
- from the lungs its carried by pulmonary vein
- travels to left atrium
- through the bicuspid valve
- into left ventricle forcing blood out
- through aortic semilunar valve
- through aorta
- blood is sent to the body
cardiac cycle: blood flow through heart during one complete heart beat
systole: period of heart contraction
diastole: period of heart relaxation
heart sounds
lub: closing of AV valves at beginning of ventricular systole
dub: closing of semilunar valves at beginning of ventricular diastole
Electrocardiography
electrocardiogram: detects electrical currents generated by the heart
electrocardiogram (EGC): graphic recording of electrical activity
P wave: depolarization of SA node/atria
QRS Complex: ventricular depolarization/ atrial repollarization
T wave: ventricular repolarization
P-R interval: beginning of atrial excitation to beginning of ventricular excitation
S-T segment: entire ventricular depolarization
Q-T Interval: beginning of ventricular repolarization
Blood group: AB
no plasma antibodies
blood that can be received: A, B, AB, O "universal recipient"
Blood Group: B
RBC antigens: B
RBC antigens: A&B
plasma antibodies: Anti- A
blood that can be received: B&O
Blood group: A
RBC antigens: A
plasma antibodies: anti-B
blood that can be received: A&O
Blood Group: O
RBC antigens: none
plasma antibodies: Anti A&B
blood that can be received: O "universal donor"
- Transport nutrients, gases, wastes around the body
Functions
transport: delivering oxygen, nutrients, metabolic wastes, and hormones
Regulation: regulates body temp, normal pH, and adequate fluid volume
protection: preventing blood loss and infection
composition
water
solutes (electrolytes & plasma proteins)
non-protein nitrogenous substances
plasma/platelets (top layer) 55%
leukocytes (white blood cells): buffy coat/middle layer <1%
erythrocytes (red blood cells): bottom layer 45% of blood
- protect the body from infection/blood loss
- help body maintain constant body temp
- maintain fluid balance
myocardial infarction: blood flow to part of the heart is blocked
peripheral artery disease: arteries are narrow reducing blood flow
cerebrovascular accident (stroke): blood flow to a portion of the bran is interrupted
endocarditis & myocarditis: inflammation of the heart
Congenital Heart Disease: issue with the heart structure/ function
arteries (top to bottom)
causes: blood clot, obesity, stress
symptoms: chest pain, dizziness, swelling
treatment: nitroglycerin, thrombolytics, open heart surgery

causes: radiation exposure, artheroscurosis, hereditary
symptoms: weak pulse, skin color change, intermittent claudication
treatment: medication, arterial angioplasty, thrombolytic therapy
causes: clogged arteries, high BP, aneurysm
symptoms: memory loss, severe headaches, change in sense of alertness
treatment: thrombocytes, blood thinners, physical therapy
causes: virus or fungal infection, rheumatoid arthritis, heart valve damage
symptoms: chest pain, edema, heart palpitations
treatment: diuretics, pacemaker implantation, antibiotics
causes: hereditary, atrial septal defect, pulmonary seteriasis
symptoms: cyanosis, asymptomatic, death
treatment: medication, surgical intervention, some may heal on its own
Blood vessels: delivery system of dynamic structures that begins/ends at heart
Arteries: carry blood away from heart, oxygenated except for pulmonary circulation and umbilical vessels of fetus, have thicker walls
Veins: carry blood toward heart, deoxygenated blood except for pulmonary circulation and umbilical vessels of fetus, thin walls but thicker lumen
Capillaries: direct contact with tissue cells, directly serve cellular needs
