13
New cards

Hemostasis

Hemostasis is the process to stop bleeding in small cuts

14
New cards

Vascular spasm/vasospasm:

decrease blood vesse. contraction of blood vessels, called vasocontraction. We reduce the diameter of the blood vessel which reduces blood flow.

15
New cards

Heart Coverings

The pericardium encloses and protects the heart with fibrous and serous layers.

22

Heart Wall Layers

The heart wall consists of the

epicardium: vessels larger of serous pericardium. 

myocardium: cardiac muscle layer of heart, most substantial layer

    • Left ventricle: pumps blood to rest of body through aorta

25
New cards

Valves

    • 2 AV (atrioventricular) valves: between atria and ventricles

  • Right atrium to right ventricle: tricuspid valve

65
New cards

center for conscious breathing

pons - allows us to take prolonged inhalation or exhalation or hold our breath.

66
New cards

chemical control center of respiration

Carbon dioxide is the main chemical control because as CO2 levels go up, our blood pH will go down. Blood has to have pH of 7.35-7.5 so if you hold your breath, you affect pH of blood which signals brain to breathe faster and get CO2 out and O2 in and shift pH levels.

67
New cards

hypoxia

medical term for a decrease delivery or availability of oxygen to tissues

68
New cards

Anemic hypoxia

Type of hypoxia due to decreased functional red blood cells affecting oxygen transport.
