VERIFIED ANSWERS 2024/2025


structure of the cardiovascular system

Structure of the Cardiovascular System: made up of the heart and blood

vessels.System is a closed circuit with pulmonary and systemic circulation (Rt side

tolungs, Lt to the body)o Heart Layers: Endocardium (tissue that lines the heart),

Myocardium (muscular midlayer of the heart), Epicardium (thin-walled sac that

surrounds the heart andattaches it to diaphragm and thorax) Pericardium: Surrounds

the heart, Keeps heart in place, prevents overstretchingof heart, lubricates, protects

heart from infection Heart Structure: Septum divides heart into left and right sides. Atria

are thenseparated from ventricles (known as chambers) Conduction System: Heart

generates its own response (automaticity) SA node(pacemaker) (top of rt atrium), AV

junction, Bundle of His, Rt and Lt bundlebranches, Purkinje fibers (extend throughout

ventricular muscle) Valves: heart has 4 valves. 2 AV valves separate atria from

ventricles.Tricuspid valve separate rt atrium from rt ventricle. Mitral valve: separates

Ltatrium from Lt ventricle. 2 valves separate ventricles from the large vesselsthey fill.

Pulmonic valve separates rt ventricle from pulmonic artery. Aorticvalve separates Lt

ventricle from aorta.o Blood Vessels: Coronary blood vessels (rt and left coronary

arteries)arise from aorta and provide the myocardium with oxygenated blood. Fillwhen

heart relaxes

INTRACELLULAR FLUID

,Fluid located within the cells

EXTRACELLULAR FLUID

All fluid outside of the cells

- Intravascular fluid

- Interstitial fluid

Intravascular fluid

Fluid inside the blood and lymphatic vessels;

- vascular volume is the most regulated aspect of fluid balance (BP maintenance)

Interstitial fluid

Fluid between the cells

Osmolality

The proportion of dissolved particles in a given weight of fluid (mOsm/kg)

Osmolarity

The concentration of dissolved substances in a given volume of fluid (mOsm/L).



- Normal serum osmolality range is from 280 to 300 mOsm/kg



- Hypothalamic cells monitor changes in body fluid osmolality and control secretion of

AntidiureticHormone (ADH) which adjusts amount of water excreted in urine.

Diffusion

Movement of molecules from an area of higher molecular concentration to an area of

lower concentration

Osmosis

,Movement of a fluid through a semi permeable membrane

Active transport

Process requiring energy by which molecules are moved across membranes from an

area of lesser concentration to an area of greater concentration

Filtration

Transfer of water and dissolved substances through a permeable membrane from a

region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.

the serum value of the electrolyte sodium (Na+)

135-145 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte potassium (K+)

3.5-5.0 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte Calcium (Ca++) (8.9-10.1 mg/dL)

4.3-5.3 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte magnesium (Mg++) (1.8-2.3 mg/dL)

1.5-1.9 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte chloride (Cl-)

95-108 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte bicarbonate (HCO3-)

22-26 mEq/L

the serum value of the electrolyte Phosphate (HPO4-, H2PO4-) (2.5-4.5 mg/dL)

1.7-2.6 mEq/L

Hydrostatic pressure

Causes filtration of fluid from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure

, Filtration pressure

Hydrostatic pressure minus osmotic pressure equals filtration pressure

Osmotic pressure

The force of attraction for water by undissolved particles which keeps fluid within blood

vessels and opposes net flow outward

factors that affect fluid and electrolyte balance

- Fluid and food intake

- Fluid and electrolyte output

- Vomiting

- Diarrhea

- Diaphoresis

- Use of diuretics

- Stress

- Chronic illness

- Renal failure

- Cardiac failure

- Liver failure

- Respiratory failure

- Surgery

Considerations for the older adult

decreases in kidney mass, blood flow, and glomerular filtration rate

- 10% decrement per decade after age 30 years
