Pre-Class Assignment Week 10
Concept: Perfusion
Task
Clustering related information
Explain the pathophysiology and the effects of the pathophysiology of this week's
exemplar, severe heart failure, in terms of the scope of perfusion:
Central Perfusion:
generated by cardiac output and amount of force that the blood is pumped throughout
the body and to peripheral vessels. occurs when the heart is stimulated by electrical
impulses. Typically starts with the SA node, goes to the AV node, to the bundle of
his,then Purkinje fibers in the myocardium which allows the ventricles to contract. This
starts blood flow through the heart and allows certain values to open and close when
needed and ventricles and atrium to contract and
relax__________________________________________________________________
Local/tissue Perfusion:
is the volume of blood that flows through target tissues, from arteries to the capillaries
