Q

change in potential in the hand that would follow peripheral nerve stimulation

A

You can explain the change in potential across the hand that follows peripheral nerve stimulation because when the peripheral nerves are stimulated it travels to the brain and activates the sympathetic nervous system which then activates the sweat glands and we see the hands sweat.

37
Q

aerobic glycolysis

A

when enough O2 is present, pyruvate (from the breakdown of fats, glycogen, or glucose) can enter the citric acid cycle and is broken down to CO2 and H2O. This process generates large amounts of ATP.

38
Q

anaerobic glycolysis

A

if O2 supplies are insufficient, pyruvate cannot enter the citric acid cycle and instead is converted to lactic acid. This makes a small amount of ATP, but does not require O2.

39
Q

phosphocreatine

A

in resting muscle, some ATP transfers a phosphate to creatine, creating a store of phosphocreatine. During intense exercise, phosphocreatine can be used to resynthesize ATP, and allows contraction to continue.

40
Q

common diseases impacting skeletal muscle activity

A
  • peripheral neuropathy
  • NMJ diseases: LEMS, MG, botulism
  • myopathies
41
Q

EMG waveform is irregular

A

the EMG records the electrical activity of the muscle fibers whose motor units fire asynchronously whereas the the ECG records the hearts electrical activity that is produced synchronously

42
Q

outcome of the EMG

A

As we added more books to the volunteer’s arm, the trace of amplitude (mV) began to increase for both the biceps and the triceps. We can infer based on our data that the biceps and triceps are working together in coactivation, to be able to withstand the increase weight for each trial.

43
Q

outcome of the grip force

A

grip force increased with the amount of force applied

44
Q

outcome of the muscle fatigue

A

grip force decreased as time continued

45
Q

outcome of the force with encouragement

A

encouragement didn’t help as much as a brief period of rest did

46
Q

outcome of the visual feedback experiments

A

visual feedback didn’t help, it was about the same grip force whether there was visual feedback or not

47
Q

anatomy of skeletal muscle on the cellular level

A

muscle (organ) -> fascicle -> muscle fiber (cell) -> microfibril (largest to smallest)

48
Q

neuromuscular junction

A
  • action potentials arriving at the axon terminal trigger the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction.
  • the acetylcholine diffuses through the junctional cleft and binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the motor end plate.
  • the bound receptors open cation-selective ion channels, which depolarizes the muscle end plate and leads to the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
  • the increased cytosolic calcium sets in motion the biochemical events that underlie contraction.
  • acetylcholine is rapidly hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase, which terminates the muscle contraction signals.
49
Q

function of antibodies

A

a protein that specifically binds to an antigen and helps to neutralize foreign substances or prepare them for destruction by phagocytes

50
Q

role antigens play in antibody production

A

antigens attack pathogens and create new antibodies

51
Q

equation for cardiac output

A

CO = HR (beats/min, BPM) x SV (liters/beat)

52
Q

stroke volume and cardiac output: athlete

A
  • stroke volume: at rest is appreciably higher in very fit individuals
  • cardiac output: in a fit athlete: CO before exercise = 5 L; HR = 40 BPM; SV = 0.125 L, higher in athletes
53
Q

stroke volume and cardiac output: couch potato

A
  • stroke volume: lower than athletes
  • cardiac output: lower than athletes
54
Q

electrical activity of the heart is impacted by exercise

A
  • an increase in heart rate corresponds to a shortening of the cardiac cycle (RR interval decreases)
  • most of this shortening occurs in the TP interval
  • the QT interval also shortens, but only slightly
55
Q

distribution of blood changes when a person is exercising

A
  • smooth muscle relaxes to permit more blood to enter the particular capillary beds, if the cells in that organ require more arterial blood.
  • this need can be due to a decrease in pH, oxygen levels, or an increase in carbon dioxide levels.
  • the blood flow to the gut and kidneys accounts for about 50% of the resting blood flow.
  • during exercise, this decreases significantly while the blood flow to the exercising skeletal muscles increases
56
Q

factors that influence the increase in heart rate during exercise

A
  • the mammalian nervous system controls heart rate via the autonomic nerves.
  • stimulation of sympathetic nerves increases the rate and stimulation of the parasympathetic (vagal) nerve.
  • at rest, the vagal effect predominates this is called vagal tone.
  • however, during exercise vagal activity decreases and sympathetic activity increases. this combines with increased levels of circulating epinephrine, to result in increased heart rate.
57
Q

how the heart rate and pulse amplitude changed both immediately after exercise and during recovery, physiological advantages of these observed changes

A

Immediately after exercise the heart rate increased and the pulse decreased, but during recovery the heart rate decreased and pulse increased. The physiological advantage of these changes is after exercise, during the resting period the blood flow goes to the skin to release heat and cool the body.

58
Q

outcomes of the hand exercise activity and be able to describe what happened to the pulse amplitude and why this change occurred

A
  • the pulse rate increased with more rest
  • immediately after hand exercise, the amplitude was smaller than in the resting record
59
Q

how blood pressure can be measured: directly

A

directly measure venous blood pressure in patients in intensive care- this is achieved with an apparatus; a plastic tube filled with saline connected to the vein

60
Q

how blood pressure can be measured: indirectly

A

the auscultatory method: a stethoscope is used to listen to the heart sounds, and a blood pressure cuff is connected to a mercury sphygmomanometer so that cuff pressure can be measured

61
Q

normal blood pressure levels

A

120/80 mmHg

62
Q

high blood pressure levels

A

140/90 mmHg

63
Q

low blood pressure levels

A

100/60 mmHg

64
Q

relationship between blood pressure and blood flow

A
  • each heartbeat ejects enough blood at a sufficient pressure to ensure that blood flow to the tissues is fast enough to provide the oxygen and nutrients required by cells
  • waste products of metabolism must also be removed constantly so that they do not accumulate in body tissues
  • the amount of blood flowing is proportional to the blood pressure that drives the flow.
  • that is, if the width of a tube remains the same, the greater the pressure, the greater the flow
  • narrower tubes provide more resistance to flow
  • the blood flows through the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and then back to the heart through the venules and veins
  • these vessels provide resistance to the flow
  • the greatest increase in resistance, and therefore the greatest decrease in blood pressure, occurs in the arterioles. therefore, the arterioles make the greatest contribution to the vascular peripheral resistance
65
Q

systolic pressure

A
  • the peak pressure reached during the cardiac cycle
  • systolic = ventricle contraction
66
Q

diastolic pressure

A
  • when the arterial blood pressure is at its lowest, immediately before the contracting ventricle pushes blood into the arteries again
  • diastolic = ventricle relaxation
67
Q

regulation of arterial blood pressure

A
  • arterial blood pressure is monitored by pressure receptors in the aortic arch and the first part of the internal carotid artery: the carotid sinus
  • these baroreceptors monitor the degree of stretch of the arterial wall
  • for example, acute blood loss will decrease arterial blood pressure. this is detected by the baroreceptors which activate the cardiovascular control centers in the brain. in turn, these stimulate the autonomic nerves to vasoconstrict the peripheral blood vessels, and increase the heart rate and force of contraction. the vasoconstriction increases peripheral resistance, and the increased rate and force of cardiac contraction increases cardiac output; so blood flow to the brain and other vital organs is maintained.
68
Q

baroreceptors monitor the pressure of blood flowing through the _____, and the carotid sinus receptors monitor the pressure of the blood flowing to the ____

A

systemic arterial system; brain

69
Q

acute increase in blood volume

A
  • will cause peripheral vasodilation and a decreased heart rate
  • to understand the regulation of blood pressure you can think about what happens when you take a hot bath. pale skin turns red as peripheral blood vessels dilate to encourage heat loss. this reduces peripheral resistance, and blood pressure starts to go down. you might notice this if you stand up to get out of the bath, and begin to feel dizzy. the baroreceptors quickly detect the falling blood pressure, and increase stimulation of heart rate and force of contraction. this is felt as pounding in the chest.
70
Q

how body position impacts blood pressure

A
  • convention is to reference all arterial blood pressure measurements to the position of the heart.
  • if we measure the pressure in an artery that is below this level, then the pressure will be increased
  • this is because of the effect of gravity on the column of blood in the vessels, which contributes to hydrostatic pressure
  • this effect is quite large
  • for example, if we measure the blood pressure in a femoral artery in the thigh with the person lying down, the artery is at the same level as the heart, so there is no extra pressure contributed by gravity. but if we measure this with the person sitting or standing up, then the height of the column of blood below the heart contributes around an additional 50 mmHg to the pressure. that is, if the person has a blood pressure measured at heart level of 120/80 mmHg, then the pressure in the femoral artery in the thigh will be 170/130 mmHg
  • similarly, if we were to measure the blood pressure in the arm when the arm was raised above the head, it would be appreciably lower than it is at heart level
  • it is essential to realize that this hydrostatic pressure affects all fluids at the same level. therefore, the interstitial fluid pressure, and the pressures of the blood in the capillaries and veins are all increased to the same extent. thus, the pressure difference between interstitial fluid and adjacent capillaries is exactly the same whether a person is standing or lying down
  • the effect of gravity on pressure also affects veins
  • because the veins are distensible, the increased pressure tends to cause blood to pool in the veins, thereby decreasing the return of the blood to the heart (venous return)
  • this is counteracted by valves in the veins, which prevent blood backflow when standing or sitting
  • in addition, skeletal muscle contraction presses on the veins and helps to increase venous pressure in legs to push blood back towards the heart
  • this works well as long as we walk about, but not when we sit still
  • for example, sitting still for hours in airplane seats can result in slowing of blood flow and this contributes to deep vein thrombosis
  • in the head and brain, gravity has the opposite effect to veins as the head and brain are above the heart when standing
  • since perfusion of the brain with blood is essential to life, it is not surprising that the pressure of the blood flowing to the brain is monitored separately (via the carotid sinus baroreceptors) from that of the blood going to the rest of the body
  • remember that blood pressure is constantly measured and regulated, so lying down should lead to greater pressure being detected in the carotid baroreceptors with consequent slowing of heart rate
  • position therefore affects not only the measurement of BP but also its regulation
71
Q

hypertension

A
  • hypertension refers to a chronic condition characterized by a resting blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or greater
  • although, many people have an occasional blood pressure reading greater than 140/90 mmHg; they are not necessarily hypertensive
  • factors: age, an underlying cause to another illness, increased production of corticoids, increased epinephrine (adrenaline) production, chronic renal diseases
72
Q

importance of Korotkoff sounds

A

Korotkoffs sounds identify systolic and diastolic blood pressure and allows physicians to check patient blood pressures and provide appropriate medical treatments

73
Q

expected outcomes of the blood pressure lab activities and be able to describe these results regarding the relationship between the heart sounds and finger pulse

A
  • blood pressure is lower when arm is above head than when arm is at heart level because the blood is fighting gravity to make it all the way up the arm
  • the faster the blood pressure cuff is deflated the faster blood flow is when the artery opens back up
  • the diastolic pressure cannot be determined by a finger pulse transducer (the pulse won’t disappear when the cuff pressure drops below diastolic pressure)
  • when the pressure exerted by the cuff is greater than systolic pressure the brachial artery is completely collapsed, thus there is no blood flow and no finger pulse is detected. When the cuff pressure drops below systolicpressure the brachial artery partially opens, blood flow is returned and a finger pulse is detected
74
Q

atrioventricular valves

A
  • between the atrium and ventricle prevent backflow from ventricle to atrium
  • the lower-pitched “lub” sound is produced by the closure of the AV (mitral and tricuspid) valves
75
Q

semilunar valves

A
  • between ventricle and artery prevent backflow of blood from the aorta and main pulmonary artery into the respective ventricle
  • when the ventricles relax the blood pressure drops below that in the artery, and the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) close producing the higher-pitched “dub” sound
76
Q

a murmur

A
  • an additional or unusual sound heard during a heartbeat
  • malfunctions of the heart valves can often produce an audible murmur
77
Q

cardiac cycle

A
  • during ventricular diastole blood is returning to the heart
  • deoxygenated blood from the periphery enters the right atrium, and flows into the right ventricle through the open AV valve
  • oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium, and flows into the left ventricle through the open AV valve
  • filling of the ventricles is completed when the atria contract (atrial systole)
  • in the resting state, atrial systole accounts for some 20% of ventricular filling
  • atrial contraction is followed by contraction of the ventricles (ventricular systole). Initially, as the ventricles begin to contract the pressure in them rises and exceeds that in the atria to close the AV valves
  • the volume of the ventricles cannot change until the pressure in the left ventricle exceeds that in the aorta and in the right ventricle exceeds that in the main pulmonary artery (this is the isovolumic phase of ventricular contraction)
  • when the pressure in the left ventricle finally exceeds that in the aorta (and the pressure in the right ventricle exceeds that in the main pulmonary artery) the semilunar valves open, and blood is ejected into the aorta and main pulmonary artery
  • as the ventricular muscle relaxes, pressures in the ventricles fall below those in the aorta and main pulmonary artery, and the semilunar valves close
  • ventricular pressure continues to fall and when it has fallen below that in the atria, the AV valves open and ventricular filling begins again
78

82
Q

where the heart sounds occur in the cardiac cycle

A
  • first heart sound occurs at S
  • second heart sound occurs at T
83
Q

the electrical activity of the heart

A
  • cardiac contractions are not dependent upon a nerve supply. however, innervation by the parasympathetic (vagus) and sympathetic nerves does modify the basic cardiac rhythm. the best known example of this is so-called sinus arrhythmia where respiratory activity affects the heart rate
  • the cardiac cycle involves a sequential contraction of the atria and the ventricles
  • the combined electrical activity of the different myocardial cells produces electrical currents that spread through the body fluids. these currents are large enough to be detected by recording electrodes placed on the skin. a recording of this electrical activity is an electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • the action potentials recorded from atrial and ventricular fibers are different from those recorded from nerves and skeletal muscle
84
Q

different types of valvular heart disease

A

mitral stenosis, mitral insufficiency, aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency

85
Q

mitral stenosis

A

a narrowing of the orifice of the mitral valve. Blood flows from left atrium to left ventricle through this valve during ventricular diastole. With mitral stenosis, a low pitched, middiastolic murmur is heard. There is often a louder than normal first sound as the mitral valve is shut more forcefully than normal.

86
Q

mitral insufficiency

A

damage to the valve structure leads to a leak of blood back from the contracting ventricle to the left atrium. This leak results in a high-pitched murmur heard throughout systole. Because of the greater blood volume in the left atrium, there is a very rapid filling of the left ventricle when the mitral valve opens in early diastole. This gives rise to a third heart sound.

87
Q

aortic stenosis

A

a narrowed aortic valve impedes blood flow into the aorta during ventricular systole. This results in a characteristic systolic murmur that increases in loudness to midsystole and then fades gradually. The second heart sound may be softer than normal too.

88
Q

aortic insufficiency

A

the defective valve does not close properly so that, during early diastole, blood flows back into the ventricle. This results in an early diastolic murmur that follows the second heart sound and gradually decreases in intensity.

89
Q
