Front Back
vasodilation
dilation (stretching) of blood vessels
homeothermic
"Maintaining the same temperature"
Positive feedback
Responses are not homeostatic and are rare in healthy individuals. Positiveimplies that, when a value deviates from normal, the system responds to make the deviation even greater. Ex. Inadequate delivers of blood to cardiac (heart muscle).
examples of positive feedback
blood clotting, contractions during labor, fever
windpipe aka
trachea 
trachea is a.k.a.
windpipe
trachea
windpipe which carries air to the lungs
pharnyx
tube for food/water and air
Pharnyx
throat, or passageway of air from the nasal cavity to the larynx and the passageway for food from the mouth to the esophagus; the common passageway for the respiratory and digestive tracts 
carbon fixation
plants use light energy to do "carbon fixation": take carbon dioxide from air into Carbon in sugar biproduct is oxygen
"energy currency"
ATP
two types of pathways
catabolic anabolic
What are the two general products of catabolic pathways?
1. stored chemical energy (in form of ATP) 2. Small molecules to build cellular material
What is a catabolic pathway?
Catabolic pathways break down organic molecules
What is an anabolic pathway?
The building of cell material from small molecules -uses energy (ATP)
Structure of ATP
Adenine, 5 C ribose sugar, 3 negatively charged phosphate groups
ATP is _____ into _____.
hydrolized, ADP + Pi
Biosynthesis is a.k.a.
Anabolic pathway
Anabolic pathways are a.k.a.
biosynthesis
How does a cell get its ATP?
1. catabolic pathways-breakdown of food 2. photosynthesis (both are redox reactions)
Examples of redox reactions
catabolic pathways and photosynthesis
what blood type is the universal receiver?
AB+
agglutination
clumping and lysis of blood cells, can be lethal (blood type mixup) -because clumps abstruct blood flow, great loss of RBC
Why are doctors very careful when giving transfusions with different blood types?
clumping and lysis of blood cells, can be lethal (blood type mixup) -because clumps abstruct blood flow, great loss of RBC
Explain how Rh- pregnant woman and Rh+ might have a bad reaction in 2nd pregnancy.  
Because of first pregnancy, the mother will make antibodies against Rh. So in 2nd pregnancy, mother's antibodys will attack fetus RBCs.  
What is order of blood flow from heart back to heart?
Heart-->arteries-->arterioles-->capillary beds-->venules-->veins-->back to heart
osmotic pressure
what's dissolved in blood
In arterial end of capillary
Blood pressure>osmotic pressure
In venus end of capillary
Blood pressure is lower, and osmotic pressure stays the same
What does it mean if blood pressure>osmotic pressure
net fluid movement will be out of capillary
What does it mean if blood pressure<osmotic pressure
Net fluid movement into capillaries, Oxygen out, CO2 in
Blood moves from ____ pressure to ____pressure
higher, lower
pulmonary circuit
blood releases CO2 into lungs and picks up O2.
Systemic circuit
blood delivers O2 and nutrients to tissues and removes waste (CO2)
what happens between the pulmonary and systemic circuits?
the blood is repumped in heart
In deoxygenated blood blood appears...
slightly darker red
total blood volume=
cardiac output
cardiac output=
heart rate and stroke volume
stroke volume=
volume left ventricle pumps each time
cardiac output is a.k.a.
blood volume
during exercise, cardiac output...
increases
AV valves
are between atria and ventricles
The mitral valve is a.k.a 
bicuspid valve
the bi-cuspid valve is a.k.a. 
mitral valve
mitral valve and tri-cuspid valves are
two AV valves
Semilunar valves 
lead from ventricles out of the heart
What happens when AV/mitral valves are open
either -atria contract -or entire heart is relaxed -->allows blood flow form atrium to ventricle
when ventricles contract...
AV valves close
The Cardiac Cycle is how long...
0.8 sec
What are the 3 stages of the cardiac cycle, and how long is each stage?
1. Atrial and ventricular diastole(0.4seconds) 2. Atrial systole and ventricular diastole(0.1 seconds) 3. Atrial diastole and ventricular systole(0.3 seconds)
What happens to the AV and semilunar valves during atrial and ventricular diastole?
The AV valves are open, and the semilunar valves are closed
What happens to the AV valves during atrial systole and ventricular diastole?
AV valves are open
What happens to the AV and semilunar valves during atrial diastole and ventricular systole?
-AV valves shut -semilunar valves open
What happens during the first stage of cardiac cycle?
-AV valves open, semilunar valves are shut -blood flows from atrium to ventricles -atria and ventricles are relaxed
What happens during the second phase of the cardiac cyle?
-AV valves open -atria contracts, ventricles are relaxed
What happens during the third stage of cardiac cycle?
-ventricles contract -AV valves shut -semilunar valves open -blood leaves ventricles
What is happening during "Lubb" and "Dubb" sound of heart?
Lubb: recoil of blood against AV valves (close when ventricles contract) Dubb: slapping of blood against semi-lunar valves from vessel--> causes semilunar valve to close, prevents backflow
Heart murmers
abnormal heart sounds caused by valve defect
what is a prolapsed mitral valve, what is disadvantage of this condition?
flap of mitral valve flips up so blood regurges back into atrium. this makes circulation less efficient
Electrical signalling in heart
SA node (signal)-->atrial systole->AV node-->AV bundle +AV bundle branches-->purkinje fibers (lead to ventricular contraction)
what happens when we swallow?
The larnyx moves up-->epiglottis to cover the trachea-->no food goes into trachea
epiglottis
opening of trachea
larynx is also known as
voice box
direction of lower respiratory tract:
larnyx-->trachea-->bronchus-->bronchioles-->alveolar sacs
what is at bottom of thoracic wall?
diaphragm, thoracic wall goes around both lungs
Inspiration
breathing in by negative pressure
What happens when we breath in?
-Air comes into lungs, diaphragm contracts, thoracic cavity expands -volume goes up, presssure goes down
what happens when we breath out?
-Alveolar sacs recoil -Diaphragm relaxes, cavity shrinks -pressure goes up, volume goes down
all gases move...
down their concentration gradients, or partial pressure gradients
Emphysema
-A lung disease where alveolar sacs are less elastic -people must use energy to force air out of lungs, very tiring, less surface area for gas exchange
Oxygen moves...
down its concentration gradient, down its pressure gradient
Path of oxygen
alveolar space, through epithelial cells, into lung capillaries, into RBCs where it binds to hemoglobins
Why does protein deficiency cause edema?
deficiency causes a buildup of fluid around the organs b/c body cannot produce adequate albumin
