Anatomy/Phys Flashcards
List the normal pathway for systemic circulation?
Left ventricle-> aorta-> body-> systemic veins-> superior/inferior vena cava -> right atrium
List the pathway for pulmonary circulation?
Right ventricle->pulmonary artery-> lungs-> pulmonary veins-> left atrium
Which pancreatic cells are the most plentiful?
cells producing glucagon
What is the refractory period
Time during which a neuron cannot generate another action potential. Sodium channels are closed and cannot be reopened
What is glycolysis
The breakdown of glucose into two molecules of 3-carbon molecule called pyruvate. A net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH molecules
What is the Krebs Cycle
Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses carbon dioxid to form acetyl-CoA. When acetyl-CoA is oxidized to carbon dioxide in the Krebs cycle, chemical energy is release and captured in the form of NADH, FADH2, and ATP
What is the electron transport chain
It allows the release of the large amount of chemical energy stored in reduced NAD+ and reduced FAD. The energy released is captured in the form of ATP
What is the equation for blood pressure
Cardiac output x peripheral resistance
How would you measure blood oxygen saturation? (SpO2)?
Pulse oximeter (noninvasive)
What is a normal percentage of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin?
90% to 100%
What does the axial skeleton consist of?
Skull, spinal column, ribs, and sternum
What is Osteon
Structural unit of compact bone
what is Fibrocartilage
Greater amount of collagen fibers
Where can fibrocartilage be found
Interpubic, discs, and menisci
What is Elastic Cartilage
Collagen and elastin fibers
Where can elastic cartilage be found
epiglottis and outer ear
Organic Matrix is composed of…..
primarily collagen fibers
Inorganic Matrix is composed of…..

What is Cortical Bone?
Compact bone that has an ordered and dense arrangement
Where is cortical bone located?
primarily in the shafts of long bones
What Does The Appendicular Skeleton Consist Of?
Upper Extremities, Lower Extremities, And Pelvic Girdle
What Is Nonfeasance/Omission?
Where An Individual Fails To Perform A Legal Duty
What Is Malfeasance/Commission?
Where Commit An Act That Is Not Legally Able To Perform
