How is cardiac output figured? - ANSWER-Stroke volume multiplied by the
heart rate, expressed in bpm. (For example, if the stroke volume is 70 mL, and
the heart rate is 72 bpm, the cardiac output is 5,040 mL per minute.
Where can pulse be found in the body? - ANSWER-The temple (temporal a.),
neck (carotid a.), chin (facial a.), inner elbow (brachial a.), wrist (radial a.),
groin (femoral a.), back of the knee (popliteal a.), front of the foot (dorsalis
pedis a.), back of the ankle (posterior tibial a.)
How does aging affect the cardiovascular system? - ANSWER-Cholesterol
deposition happens in the blood vessels, the heart enlarges, cardiac muscle cells
die, there is an increase in fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue and blood
pressure and a decrease in resting heart rate.
What is the function of lymph? - ANSWER-To absorb dietary fats, deliver fats
and excess fluids to the bloodstream, collect excess interstitial fluids, and
deliver foreign particles to the lymph nodes.
Describe a lymphatic vessel - ANSWER-Fine, thin-walled, transparent valved
channels distributed through most tissues. They have 3 walls: intima, media,
and adventitia.
,Describe the pathway of lymph - ANSWER-Lymphatic capillaries
Lymphatic vessels
Afferent lymphatic vessel
Lymph nodes
Efferent lymphatic vessel
Lymphatic trunk
Collecting duct
Where can lymph nodes be found in the body? - ANSWER-The cervical,
axillary, supratrochlear, and inguinal regions and the pelvic, abdominal and
thoracic cavities.
At any given moment, where can blood be found in the body? - ANSWER-
Veins
What is metabolic acidosis? - ANSWER-An accumulation of acids as a
byproduct of metabolism
How is metabolic acidosis caused? - ANSWER-When the body produces too
much acid or the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body
What is produced during nucleic acid metabolism? - ANSWER-
protein/polypeptide chain
How is water involved in metabolism? - ANSWER-Water is the medium for
various enzymatic & chemical reactions in the body. It moves nutrients,
hormones, antibodies and oxygen through the blood stream and lymphatic
system.
, Which metabolic reactions release hydrogen ions into body fluids? - ANSWER-
Anaerobic respiration of glucose, aerobic respiration of glucose, incomplete
oxidation of fatty acids, Oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids
What is cholesterol? - ANSWER-A waxy, fat like substance
What is the role of cholesterol? - ANSWER-Keeps phospholipid layer
membrane at an optimal fluidity. At high temps it reduces fluidity and at low
temps it increases it.
It does this because it is ampipathic, meaning it is both hydrophobic and
hydrophillic. Therefore it can associate with both parts of the cell membrane.
What is the difference between fat and water soluble vitamins? - ANSWER-Fat
soluble vitamins dissolve in fats and are influenced by lipids.
Water soluble vitamins include vitamins B and C
What are the roles of vitamins and minerals in the body? - ANSWER-Both are
essential for normal metabolism. Vitamins are organic compounds. Minerals are
inorganic elements.
Why is vitamin A important? - ANSWER-Normal vision, immunity and
reproduction, also helps heart,lungs,kidney and other organs working properly
What is a trace element? - ANSWER-an element that is essential to life, but
only required in very small amounts
What is an adequate diet? - ANSWER-Provides sufficient calories, essential
fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals to support optimal
growth and to maintain repair of body tissues.
