25
Is one of the two major inhibitors of actin-myosin interaction. It serves to stiffen the thin filament through its position within the longitudinal cleft between intertwined F-actin polymers. Its primary action is its Ca-dependent interaction with troponin complex proteins.
Tropomyosin
26
Different troponins (3)
Troponin C, I, T
27
This troponin binds to calcium capable of binding divalent cations. Two of the four (I &II) acid-cation binding sequences are Ca specific.
Troponin C
28
Describes the factors that determine left ventricular wall stress, which is a major determinant of myocardial oxygen demand. Tension development in each myocyte increases LV wall stress that is transformed into pressure when applied to a fluid. LV wall stress = pr/2h h = thickness
Law of Laplace
29
This law is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the load applied to it.
Hooke’s law
30
This reflex relates to the characteristic but paradoxical slowing of the heart seen with spinal anesthesia. Blockade of the SNS levels T1-T4 ablates the efferent limb of cardiac accelerator nerves.
Bainbridge reflex
31
This law describes the surface tension at an air-fluid interface produces forces that tend to reduce the area of interface. For a bubble to remain inflated, the gas pressure within the bubble is contained by surface tension and must be higher than the surrounding gas pressure. What is the formula?
Laplace law 2T/R
32
Surface tension during inspiration
40 mN/m
33
Surface tension during expiration
19 mN/m
34
What is the term for the difference between the intrapleural and alveolar pressure?
Transmural pressure gradient or transpulmonary pressure
35
Physiologic work of breathing includes 2 factors
1. Elastic work (inspiratory work to overcome the elastic recoil) 2. Resistive work (work to overcome resistance to gas flow in the airway)
36
Laminar and turbulent flow? Give the formula
Poiseuille law R= (8 x length x viscosity) / (pi x radius) = (pB - pA) / flow
37
Airway pressure rather than volume distention, appears to be the primary stimulation of pulmonary stretch reflex. This reflex is prominent in lower order mammal, that even 5 cmH2O CPAP will induce apnea.
Humans will continue to breathe spontaneously with CPAP in excess of 40 cmH2O
38
The neural ouput from the carotid body reaches the central respiratory centers via what nerve? Aortic bodies? Both these nerves are stimulated by what condition?
Glossopharyngeal Vagus PaO2 less than 100

2 to 3 minutes or until paco2 rises to 60 mmHg
47
Hyperventilation with 100% oxygen can extend the apneic period to how long?
6 to 10 minutes
48
Refers to the fact that each gas in a mixture will exert its own partial pressure, and in sum will equal the total pressure.
Dalton’s law
49
Describes the relationship between pH, paco2 and hco3
Henderson-hasselbach equation
50
The sum of the partial pressures of each gas in a mixture of gases equals the total pressure of the entire mixture.
Dalton’s Law
51
This law expresses the relationship of concentration of a gas in solution to the partial pressure of the gas with which the solution is in equilibrium.
Henry’s law
52
states that at constant temperature(T)the volume(V) of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure(P)
Boyle’s Law V α 1/p
53
States that at constant pressure, volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.
Charle’s Law
54
States that at constant volume pressure is directly proportional to the temperature
Gay Lussac’s law
55
States that equal volume of gases contain equal number of molecules at standard temperature and pressure(STP).
Avagadro’s hypothesis
56
Concept of the gas laws(Boyle’s law, Charle’s law and Gay Lussac’s law) can be combined with that of Avagadro’s hypothesis
Universal gas constant
57
states that in a mixture of gases the pressure exerted by each gas is same as the pressure exerted as if it alone occupied the container. It can also be defined as “in a mixture of gases the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of pressures exerted by the individual gases.
Dalton’s law of partial pressures
58
is applied for laminar flow. It states that the flow through the tube is directly proportional to the pressure gradient and 4th power of radius and inversely proportional to the length of the tube and viscosity of the gas.
Hegan- Poissuilles’ law
59
It is directly proportional to the velocity, density and diameter and inversely proportional to the viscosity.
Reynolds number
60
States that the Flow rate is directly proportional to square root of pressure gradient on either side of the tube and inversely proportional to square root of density of the fluid.
Graham’s law for turbulent flow
61
When a gas flowing through a tube encounters a constriction, at that point the pressure drops and the velocity increases i.e. kinetic energy increases and the potential energy decreases. This is called as Bernoulli’s principle.
Bernoulli’s principle
62
Is the tendency of the fluid jet to be attached to a nearby surface. This phenomenon is also called as wall attachment.
Coanda effect
63
This is the temperature above which the gas cannot be compressed to its liquid state with any amount of pressure.
Critical Temperature
64
When two gases, one of high and another of low critical temperature are mixed in a container,the critical temperature of the gas with a high critical temperature will decrease to a lower level(pseudo critical temperature)and the mixture will remain as a gas above this pseudo critical temperature.
Poynting effect
65
The three gas laws describe the behaviour of the gas when one of the three variables, pressure, temperature or volume is constant.
Adiabatic Changes
66
