Decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue creates a condition known as what?
Myocardial infarction is the decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue.
What medication is commonly used to treat increase blood flow to the cardiac muscle?
Nitroglycerin.
Muscles that constrict or dilate to control blood flow are called?
There are three types of muscle-skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. The muscle type that constricts and dialtes to control blood flow is the smooth muscle(involuntary).
What does the cardiac muscle do in the heart?
It contracts, so the blood flows into the arteries. Then, the cardiac muscle relaxes, so the blood flows back. The backflowing blood fills the valves in the arteries, so it cannot flow back into the heart itself. While the cardiac muscle relaxes, new blood flows into the ventricles and atriums from other veins.
What is the vasoconstriction?
is a contraction of smooth muscle in the wall of the vessel that help to reduced blood flow and blood loss but will not stop blood loss
What do cardiac muscles do in the heart?
It contracts, so the blood flows into the arteries. Then, the cardiac muscle relaxes, so the blood flows back. The backflowing blood fills the valves in the arteries, so it cannot flow back into the heart itself. While the cardiac muscle relaxes, new blood flows into the ventricles and atriums from other veins.
Does cardiac output affect urine output?
Certainly. Decrease cardiac output would mean a decreased in blood flow to the kidneys, which would lead to reduced filtration, therefore urine output.
What type of blood flow is needed for muscle tissue?
The type of blood flow that is needed for muscle tissue is skeletal muscle blood flow. Skeletal muscle blood flow is important for both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
What is cardiac infarction?
Cardiac infarction, usually called myocardial infarction, is the medical term meaning heart attack. It is heart damage caused by lack of blood flow to the heart muscle.
What kind of pectoris is chest pain that results from a reduced blood supply of oxygen to heart muscle tissue?
Angina is chest pain cause by reduced blood flow to the heart.
What is the term for lack of blood supply to a tissue or organ?
The term most often used is infarction for a complete lack of blood flow to a particular organ (most often used when referring to a muscle such as the heart or skeletal muscle), or ischaemia for severely reduced blood flow. If you are simply referring to a reduced amount of oxygen then tissue hypoxia may apply.
What type of muscle is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle makes up your heart. This is an important muscle category because unlike the other two types of muscle, skeletal and smooth, cardiac is only found in your heart. Also, other than your brain, your heart controls your body, regulating the blood flow, oxygenating blood from the lungs, circulating it around your body and keeping a constant rate at doing so. It is also one of the strongest muscles in your body because of all the blood that it pumps with every beat.
