Cardiovascular system

?
what is myogenic
capacity of the heart to generate its own impulses
1 of 23
what is the sympathetic system
part of the autonomic nervous system that speeds up the heart rate
2 of 23
what is the parasympathetic system
part of the autonomic nervous system that decreases the heart rate
3 of 23
what is the medula oblangata
found in the middle of the brain that regulates the breathing and heart rate
4 of 23
what is the baroreceptors
special sensors in the tisue to respond to changes in the blood pressure either decrease or increase
5 of 23
what is chemorecpetors
tiny structures in the arotic arch that detect change sin the blood acidity
6 of 23
what is proprioceptors
sensonry never endings in the muscles, that detect changes in muscle movement
7 of 23
what is stroke volume
the volume of blood pumped out by the heart ventricles per contrationn
8 of 23
what is adrenaline
a hormone that is released in the sympathetic nerves during exercise which can cause a increase in the heaert rate
9 of 23
what is diastole phase
when the heart relaxes to fill up with blood
10 of 23
what is ejection fraction
the percentage of blood pumped pout by the left ventricle
11 of 23
what is cardiac output
the volume of blood pumped out by the heart ventricles per minute
12 of 23
Cardiac hyperthrophy
thickening of the musclar walla of the heart to become bigger stronger which means larger ventricular cavity
13 of 23
what is bradycarida
A decrease in the resting heart rate to below 60 beats per minute
14 of 23
what is stroke
occurs when the blood supply is cut off by the brain
15 of 23
what is steady state
able to meet oxygen demand with oxygen supply
16 of 23
what is blood pressure
force exterted by the blood against the blood vessel walls
17 of 23
what is systolic pressure
pressure in arteries when ventricles contract
18 of 23
what is diastolic pressure
pressure in arteries when ventricles are relaxing
19 of 23
what is haemoglobin
iron containing pigment in red blood cells which is the combination with oxygen to form oxyhaemoglobin
20 of 23
what is bohr shift
increase in blood pressure and decrease in carbon dioxide and a decrease in ph levels.
21 of 23
what is vasodilation
widening of blood vessels to increase blood flow in the capillaries
22 of 23
what is vasoconstriction
narowing of the blood vessels to reduce blood flow in the capillaries
