Izabella Gendorf P:5 - Cardiovascular system
Major functions/components
Plasma
Composition (water, proteins, nutrients, hormones, gases)
Functions (transportation, regulation, protection)
Formed Elements
Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
Functions (oxygen transport, carbon dioxide removal)
Structure (biconcave disk shape, membrane, hemoglobin)
White Blood Cells (WBCs)
Functions (immune response, infection fighting)
Types (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils)
Platelets
Functions (blood clotting, wound repair)
Structure (small, irregular cells)
Major functions - CS
Transport oxygen and nutrients to cells
Remove waste products from cells
Regulate blood pressure and blood volume
Maintain body temperature
ABO/RH Blood types
ABO Blood Types
A, B, AB, O
Antigens and antibodies
Rh Blood Type
Rh positive (Rh+) and Rh negative (Rh-)
Importance in blood transfusions
Anatomy of heart
Chambers
Right atrium (RA)
Right ventricle (RV)
Left atrium (LA)
Left ventricle (LV)
Valves
Tricuspid valve
Pulmonary valve
Mitral valve
Aortic valve
Layers of heart
Epicardium (outermost layer)
Myocardium (middle layer, cardiac muscle)
Endocardium (innermost layer)
Blood Flow
Pulmonary circulation
Systemic circulation
Blood flow through the heart chambers and valves
Functional differences - blood vessel types
Arteries
Thick walls, high pressure
Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
..
Veins
Thin walls, low pressure
Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart
.
Capillaries
Thin walls, low pressure
Allow for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
Cardiac cycle & ECG
Cardiac cycle
Diastole (relaxation)
Systole (contraction)
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
P wave (atrial depolarization)
QRS complex (ventricular depolarization)
T wave (ventricular repolarization)
Major blood vessels
Arteries
Aorta
Coronary arteries
Carotid arteries
Femoral arteries
Veins
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Pulmonary veins
Femoral veins
Disorders of cardiovascular system
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries)
Heart failure
Arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms)
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Vital signs
blood pressure
pulse
