1
New cards

levels of organization from simplest to most complex

  • molecule

  • cell

  • tissue

  • organ

  • organ system

  • organism

2
New cards
myocardial infarction
Death of heart muscle due to blocked blood flow.
3
New cards
Fibrillation
Abnormal heart rhythm causing rapid, irregular contractions.
4
New cards
Tachycardia
Abnormally fast heart rate.
5
New cards
Bradycardia
Abnormally slow heart rate.
6
New cards
Hypertension
High blood pressure.
7
New cards
Hypotension
Low blood pressure.
8
New cards
Systolic
pressure is the pressure during ventricular contraction
9
New cards
Diastolic
pressure is the pressure during ventricular relaxation.
10
New cards
Vasoconstriction
narrows blood vessels, increasing blood pressure.
11
New cards
Vasodilation
widens blood vessels, decreasing blood pressure.
12
New cards
sinoatrial (SA) node
to start each heartbeat and set the rhythm for the heart
13
New cards
atrioventricular (AV) node
to delay and move electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles
14
New cards
atrioventricular (AV) bundle
The AV bundle conducts the impulse from the AV node to the ventricles and is located in the interventricular septum.
15
New cards
Purkinje fibers
to move electrical signals from the base of the ventricles toward the top of the heart
16
New cards
systole v. diastole
Systole is the contraction phase, diastole is the relaxation phase.
17
New cards
valves
four valves in the heart
18
New cards
AV valves
AV valves (tricuspid and mitral) prevent backflow of blood into the atria during ventricular contraction. They are open during heart relaxation (diastole) and closed during ventricular contraction (systole).
19
New cards
semilunar valves
Semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic) prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles after contraction. They are closed during diastole and open during ventricular contraction (systole).
20
New cards
path of blood thru heart and lungs
Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, then to the lungs for oxygenation, returning to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle, and finally to the body.
21
New cards
heart location
Center slightly to the left
22
New cards
Pericardium
protective sac around the heart.
23
New cards
atria v. ventricles
Atria are smaller, upper chambers that receive blood. Ventricles are larger, lower chambers that pump blood out.
24
New cards
isometric - muscle tenses up but does not change length (ex. plank)
25
New cards
isotonic - muscle changes length (ex. push ups)
26
New cards
Homeostasis
The process of maintaining balance in the both in a changing environment
27
New cards
Receptor
receives info from environment
28
New cards
Effector
responds to commands from control center/enacts change
29
New cards
control center
processes info
30
New cards
sensory v. motor
Sensory bring signals in CNS vs Motor bring signals out CNS
31
New cards
CNS v. PNS
CNS=Brain and spinal cord. PNS=Nerves outside brain and spinal cord
32
New cards
parasympathetic v. sympathetic
Parasympathetic=relaxed & digestion. Sympathetic=fight or flight response
33
New cards
afferent v. efferent
afferent ARRIVES in brain, efferent EXITS
34
New cards
3 layers of meninges
Outside to inside - Dura mater, Arachnoid mater, Pia mater
35
New cards
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Cushions the CNS from shock, provides nutrients, and removes waste.
36
New cards
Concussion
A mild traumatic brain injury that affects brain function. Effects are often short term and can include headaches and trouble with concentration, memory, balance, mood and sleep.
37
New cards
stroke (CVA)
When something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Parts of the brain become damaged or die.
38
New cards
transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Caused by a brief blockage of blood flow to the brain. A TIA usually lasts only a few minutes and doesn't cause long-term damage.
39
New cards
Origin
The point where a muscle starts and stays still during movement
40
New cards
Insertion
The point where a muscle ends and moves towards the origin during movement
41
New cards
Flexion
Bending a joint to decrease the angle between two body parts
42
New cards
Extension
Straightening a joint to increase the angle between two body parts
43
New cards
Abduction
Moving a body part away from the midline of the body
44
New cards
Adduction
Moving a body part towards the midline of the body
45
New cards
agonist (prime mover)
The main muscle responsible for a movement
46
New cards
Antagonist
The muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover
47
New cards

arteries v. veins - number of layers, presence of valves, mass of muscle tissue, direction of flow:

  • Three layers in arteries and veins

  • Arteries have teacher muscle tissue than veins

  • Artiers flow blood away from heart

  • Veins flow blodd towards the heart

48
New cards

pulmonary v. systemic circulation

  • Pulmonary circulation carries blood to the lungs for oxygenation 

  • Systemic circulation delivers oxygenated blood to the body. 

  • The right side of the heart drives pulmonary circulation 

  • The left side drives systemic circulation.

49
New cards

Sliding Filament Model - model of muscle contraction

  • calcium - activates binding sites on actin filament

  • myosin - protein with head that attaches to actin and performs power stroke (thick filament)

  • actin - protein that myosin head pulls in power stroke, causing muscle to shorten (thin filament)

  • sarcomere - basic unit of muscle contraction, shortens as actin filaments are pulled toward center

50
New cards

Brain function

  • cerebral cortex - control voluntary skeletal muscle, intellectual and emotional processing

  • thalamus - relays impulses to cerebral cortex

  • hypothalamus - regulation of autonomic nervous functions, regulates temp, water balance, food

  • limbic system - mediates emotional response

  • medulla oblongata - relays sensory input, controls HR, respiratory rate

  • cerebellum - smooths skeletal muscle movements, regulates balance and posture
