Q

how the heart works

A

Atria contract ✔️
→ push blood into ventricles

Ventricles contract ✔️
→ pump blood out of heart

Valves close ✔️
→ prevent backflow

Q

monitoring heart activity

A

-ECG(measure electrical activity)

-Pulse rate(HBPM)

-listening valves(lub-dub)

15
Q

why heart rate increases during physical activity?

A

Muscles need more oxygen and glucose ✔️

More respiration ✔️

Heart pumps faster to deliver these ✔️

Q

lack of exercise CHD

A

less energy used=fats accumulates

heart becomes less efficient

Q

smoking CHD

A

CO reduces oxygen transport

21
Q

stress CHD

A

-hormones raise heart rate
-can damage arteries over time

22
Q

genetic predisposition CHD

A

family history increases risk

23
Q

AGE CHD

A

risk increases as u get older

24
Q

gender

A

males are at higher rick than females

DIET EXERCISE
26
diet
Reduce fat intake ✔️ Prevents buildup of fatty deposits
27
exercise
Keeps heart healthy ✔️ Improves circulation ✔️ Reduces risk of blockage ✔️
28
Arteries
carry blood away from heart
29
Arteries
-thick muscular and elastic walls -withstand high pressure from heart pumping -Narrow Lumen -maintains high pressure -no valves -pressure high enough to keep blood flowing
30
veins
carry blood toward heart
31
veins structure
-thin walls -blood is under low pressure, so thick walls not needed -wide lumen -allows blood flow easily at low pressure -valves present -prevent backflow of blood
32
capillaries structure
-walls one cell thick -very short diffusion distance -very narrow lumen -slows blood flow(more time for gas exchange) -many capillaries -large surface area for exchange
33
what do capilaries do?
-allow exchange of substances between blood and tissues Oxygen and nutrients → into cells ✔️ Carbon dioxide and waste → into blood ✔️
34
vena cava
→ brings deoxygenated blood to heart ✔️
35
Aorta
Aorta → carries oxygenated blood away from heart ✔️
36
pulmonary artery
heart → lungs ✔️ (deoxygenated)
37
pulmonary vein
lungs → heart ✔️ (oxygenated)
38
blood is made up of?
Red blood cells ✔️ White blood cells ✔️ Platelets ✔️ Plasma ✔️
39
red blood cells functions
transport oxygen
40
white blood cell
defend body against pathogens
41
types of white blood cell
-lymphocytes -phagocytes
42
lymphocytes
produce antibodies to destroy pathogens
43
steps of lymphocytes
Pathogen enters body ✔️ Lymphocyte recognises it as foreign ✔️ Lymphocyte produces antibodies ✔️ Antibodies bind to the pathogen ✔️ Pathogen is destroyed ✔️
44
phagocytes
engulf and digest pathogen
45
steps of phagocytosis
Move towards pathogen ✔️ Surround it ✔️ Engulf it (take it inside) ✔️ Digest it using enzymes
46
platelets
help in blood clotting to prevent blood loss and entry of pathogens.
47
key role of clotting
help in blood clotting to prevent blood loss and entry of pathogens.
48
plasma
transport substances around the body
49
what does blood plasma carry
-blood cells -hormones -nutrients
