Numbers of #Physiology_2
1. Cardiovascular System|
Two | Number of halves the heart is made of (right and left), each with an atrium and a ventricle.
|
Four | Number of sets of valves in the heart.
|
Three | Number of cusps in the tricuspid valve and Semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves).
|
Two | Number of cusps in the mitral or bicuspid valve.
|
1°c | Increase in body temperature that can increase heart rate by 10-20 beats/min.
| 10-20 | Increase in heart rate (beats/min) for every 1 0c increase in body temperature.
|
0.1 sec | Duration of atrial systole in the cardiac cycle. |
0.3 sec | Duration of ventricular systole in the cardiac cycle. |
0.4 sec | Duration of diastole of the whole heart in the cardiac cycle.
|
0.8 second| Normal duration of the cardiac cycle when heart rate is 75 beats/min (60/75).
|
70-80 | Normal resting heart rate in beats/min.
| 100 | Heart rate above this value is considered tachycardia (beats/min). |
60 | Heart rate below this value is considered bradycardia (beats/min).
|
70 ml/beat| Normal stroke volume (volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per beat).
|
5 liters/min| Normal cardiac output (volume of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute) in adult male during rest.
|
5 liters/min| Normal venous return during rest. |
25 liters/min| Venous return during exercise in non-athletes. |
35 liters/min| Venous return during exercise in athletes. |
80-90% | Normal capillary tone (number of partially or totally closed blood capillaries).
|
120 mmHg | Average systolic blood pressure.
| 80 mmHg | Average diastolic blood pressure. |
40 mmHg | Average pulse pressure (difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure).
|
93 mmHg | Average mean arterial pressure throughout the cardiac cycle.
|
90 – 140 mmHg| Normal range for systolic blood pressure. |
60- 90 mmHg| Normal range for diastolic blood pressure. |
90 -95 % | Percentage of primary (essential) hypertension cases. |
5- 10 % | Percentage of secondary hypertension cases.
| 225 ml/min| Normal coronary blood flow during rest. |
1000 ml/min| Coronary blood flow during severe muscular exercise. |
40 liters| Normal value of total body water. |
25 liters| Amount of intracellular fluid (ICF). |
15 liters| Amount of extracellular fluid (ECF). |
3 liters | Amount of plasma in ECF. |
12 liters| Amount of interstitial fluid (tissue fluid) in ECF.
2. Respiratory System|
Two | Number of types of respiration (external and internal) and functional zones of the respiratory system (conducting and respiratory).
|
0.5 micron| The approximate overall thickness of the alveolo-capillary (respiratory) membrane.
|
50-100 sq meters (70m2)| Very large surface area of the respiratory membrane in a normal adult.
| 20-fold| How much the surface area of the small intestine is increased by the presence of intestinal villi and microvilli.
