70%
Term
can have a little carried as carbaminohemoglobin and plasma protein
Definition
CO2 (23%)
Term
CO2 is transported by
Definition
bulk flow
Term
When released in the bood it will increase the pH
Definition
CO2
Term
Varies extensively with ambient temperature
Definition
skin temperature
Term
arteries, aorta, aterioles
Definition
distributing vessels
Term
Distributing vessels hold
Definition
15% of blood
Term
capillaries
Definition
exchange vessels
Term
pressure gradients & one way valves
Definition
ensure that blood flow is one way
Term
Capillaries
Definition
one layer thick, endothelial cells
Term
Vena cava, veins, venules. account for 80% of blood volume
Definition
collecting vessels
Term
Right heart pumps blood through the
Definition
pulmonary circulation to the lungs
Term
The pulmonary artery carries blood that is...
Definition
low in O2 and high in CO2 to the lungs
Term
Left heart pumps blood through
Definition
systemic circulation
Term
Systemic circulation
Definition
supplies O2 to the tissues and removes waste products (bronchiole does this for the lungs)
Term
part of the systemic circulation
Definition
bronchioles
Term
% of blood that flows through the systemic circulation must flow through the pulmonary circulation
Definition
100
Term
Volume at any one time is  __ in pulmonary circulation
Definition
25
Term
Volume at any one time is  __ in systemic circulation
Definition
75
Term
Hydrostatic blood pressure
Definition
the force exerted upon the blood vessel wall by the blood present in the vessel, determined by the amount of blood in the vessel
Term
 low pressure system
Definition
pulmonary circulation
Term
high pressure system
Definition
systemic circulation system
Term
Central circulation
Definition
includes hte heart and pulmonary circulation
Term
systemic circulation includes
Definition
 systemic blood vessels from the aorta tot he vena cava
Term
Bulk flow
Definition
the rapid movement of blood over a long distance from an area of high hydrostatic pressure to a region of low hydrostatic pressure
Term
T/F bulk flow is the major means by which blood flows to the vena cava & from the pulmonary artery to the pulmonary vein
Definition
T
Term
The force that drives bulk flow
Definition
perfussion pressure
Term
perfusion pressure is about
Definition
95mm Hg
Term
Systolic pressure
Definition
the peak pressure in the major arteries that occurs during contraction
Term
Diastolic pressure
Definition
the lowest pressure in the major arteries that occurs during ventricular relaxation
Term
Mean pressure
Definition
the average pressure between systolic and diastolic
Term
what precentage of time is spent in diastole?
Definition
60%
Term
What precentage of time is spent in systole?
Definition
40%
Term
The major form of transport from the capillaries to the tissues and vice versa
Definition
diffusion
Term
what provides energ for cardiac contraction?
Definition
oxidative metabolism of fatty acids, & to a lesser extent lactic acid or glucose, chemical form is ATP
Term
Provides about 150 molecules of ATP
Definition
fatty acid- beta oxidation
Term
oxidative phosphorolation, citric acid cylcle and glysolysis net yield
Definition
38

When the heart produces energy a certain precentage of chemical energy is converted to
Definition
work
Term
a certain precentage of work is used to produce
Definition
heat
Term
the less heat produceed during metabolism
Definition
the more efficient the heart
Term
Normal heart efficiency
Definition
20-25%
Term
Failing heart efficiency
Definition
5-10%
