Q

funny channel

A

when cell is hyperpolarised it opens to allow sodium in to hit threshold

Q

atrial myocytes depolarisation

A

come from threshold being met through gap junctions leading to sodium channels opening

16
Q

ejection fraction

A

SV-EDV

17
Q

increasing preload

A

increases EDV, increases, increases afterload, induces baroreceptor reflex to slow HR

18
Q

afterload

A

contraction must overcome pressure, less blood ejected, ESV higher

19
Q

calcium released from

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum from ryanodine receptors

20
Q

muscle contraction

A

calcium on troponin on thin filaments, pulls on tropomyosin to expose binding sites

21
Q

chest X-ray view

A

posterior anterior to minimise heart shadow

22
Q

triangular spaces between diaphragm and thoracic wall

A

costophrenic angles and should be sharp

23
Q

inspiration chest x-ray

A

ribs will be horizontal and descended diaphragm

24
Q

tract from baroreceptor to medulla

A

glossopharyngeal and vagus
