What is the difference between blood plasma and serum?
Blood Plasma contains the clotting factor (fibrinogen), while serum does not contain this.
Which blood vessel contains the most oxygenated blood?
pulmonary vein
What are the two factors for Cardiac Output
CO = HR x SV
Shock due to loss of blood volume
What is a function of the lymphatic system?
Recovers fluid/lipid absorption
Activate immune responses
Return fluids back to bloodstream
What kind of leukocyte is shown in the image below?
Basophil
Name the three layers of the heart wall.
epicardium, myocardium, endocardium
What are the four phases to the cardiac cycle?
1) Ventricular Filling
2) Isovolumetric Contraction
3) Ventricular Ejection
4) Ventricular Relaxation
Any of the following is acceptable:
Pressure Gradient, Gravity, Skeletal muscle pump, Thoracic pump, Cardiac suction
What are the two collecting ducts in the lymphatic system?
Right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct
List the three forms hemostasis.
Vascular spasm, platelet plug form, coagulation
What structure prevents AV valves from flipping into the atria during contractions?
chordae tendineae
Why do we hear the heart sounds? What causes them?
Closure of the valves; First sound is the closure of the AV valve, second valve is the closure of the semilunar valve
How does the brain control its blood flow?
Measuring the CO2 concentration through the pH
CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3 <--> H+ + (HCO3)-
What are the primary lymphatic organs?
Red bone marrow and thymus
What is the blood type in the image above?
Which type of cardiac arrhythmia is shown below?
Atrial fibrillation
What are the three factors that affect stroke volume?
Preload, Contractility, Afterload
Calculate the MAP from a BP of 135/75.
MAP = DAP + 1/3*PP
PP = SAP - DAP = 135-75 = 60 mmHg
MAP = 75 + 1/3*60 = 95 mmHg
What is the function of the spleen?
Recycles red blood cells
Monitors blood for foreign antigens
Stabilizes blood volume
How does one treat Maternal-Fetal Blood Type Mismatches?
Mother is treated with RhoGAM, which binds to the mother's agglutinogens and prevents her from creating anti-D antibodies
What ion is important for a longer depolarization event in the myocardium?
Calcium (Ca+)
What do positive inotropic agents do?
Raise calcium levels to increase contractility
Which hormone is a potent vasoconstrictor?
Angiotensin II
How does the lymphatic system absorb lipids?
Lacteals absorb the dietary lipids that cannot be absorbed by capillaries.
