PSY333H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Endocardium, Jugular Vein, Anticoagulant
Document Summary
Even when taken out of body it beats until the cells themselves. Mitral valve prolapse: mitral valve is not working properly: extra risks for infection. 3 layers of the heart: endocardium (inside), myocardium, epicardium (outside) 75 times a minute, even in rest. Stroke volume: how efficient your heart is at moving blood. Co: product of sv by heart rate: enabling more time slide typo. Cardiovascular system: blood cells, heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). Carotid artery takes blood to the brain; jugular vein takes blood from the vein. Cvd: most likely thing that will kill you. Stroke goes unnoticed so the causes of the stroke are never treated: in the legs, pain in calves: swollen legs/calves. 1-4 can arise due to athero or arterial. If there"s injury to the inside of the artery, inflammation occurs which attracts clotting faster and the lipids (fats) stick, creating a blockage (buildup of plaque): maladaptive outcome of inflammation.
