Q

how can the crocodile go into water without breathing?

A

The valve in the pulmonary aorta (right, deoxygenated) closes and so the deoxygenated blood passes through the left aorta (systemic)

Q

which one is the most compliant? Veins or Arteries? What does it means?

A

veins are more compliant as they change size according to the volume of blood

Q

which one is the most resistant veins or arteries? and what does it means?

A

arteries are more resistant since when blood volume increase; their R increases too

Q

How can the flow stay the same in arteries and in capillaries?

A

in arteries the crossectional area is low but the velocity is high. in capillaries the crossectional area is high and the velocity is low (better exchange)

Q

If a vessel with a length of 4 cm have a R=3 and flow=1. What is the R and the flow of a same type of vessel that have a length of 8 cm?

A

Rx2 so R=6. Flow/2 so flow=0.5

Q

the tricuspid valve is situed between the ______ _______ and the ______ ventricle

A

between the right atrium and the right ventricle

22
Q

the bicuspid (mitral) valve is between the _______ _______ and the ______ ventricle

A

between the right atria and the right ventricle

23
Q

Who am I? I am a chamber of the heart with thick muscular wall because of the high pressure of systemic circ

A

the left ventricle

23
Q

what is the job of the two coronary veins?

A

they empty the deoxygenated blood into the right atria

23
Q

which layer of the heart doesnt contract and which one is the muscle?
epicardium
endocardium
myocardium
pericardium

A

the pericardium doesnt contract and the myocardium is made out of muscles

23
Q

which node gets activated first?
sinoatrial or atrioventricular

A

sinoatrial

24
Q

if no AV node, what happens to the signal?

A

it only propagate to the atria and not to the ventricles

25
Q

Why is the propagation of the signal left to right?

A

because the right bundle of His is isolated from the septum

26
Q

what does interstitial current and cytoplasmic current means?

A

interstitial is the outside of the cell movement of Na and cytoplasmic is the inside of the cell movement of K.

27
Q

the purkinje fibers can fire an impulse of their own?

A

yes, if SN doesnt work

28
Q

what wave in the ECG represent the atrial contraction, when the sinus node fire?

A

the p-wave

29
Q

the P-R segment starts from what and end with what?

A

start with the end of P and end with the start of Q

30
Q

Start of P until the beginning of Q, who am i?

A

P-R interval

31
Q

what is the equation to determine wheter the deflection is + or -?

A

ext of + (left) - ext of - (right)

32
Q

when a cell is depolarized, that means the exterior is ___?

A

negative

33
Q

why is the Q wave a negative deflection?

A

because it represent the depolarization of the septum and it is done from left to right in contrast to the right to left of the atria

34
Q

how are the pacemaker cell characterized in a graph of their membrane potentials?

A

they dont have a resting potential

35
Q

what does S-T segment represent?

A

it represent the time between depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles

36
Q

when the rythm is slow the person have ______

A

bradychardia

37
Q

Calcium binds to what in the muscles?

A

troponine

38
Q

what happens during 1/3 of the cardiac cycle?

A

the ventricle contracts

39
Q

what are the two phases of the systole?

A

isovolumetric ventricular contract and ventricular ejection

40
Q

explain the diastole?

A

isovolumetric relaxation: ventricles stop contracting and pressure drop below the P of aorta (valves close). Atria has been filling
ventricular filling: P in ventricle is lower than the P in atria so the mitral and tricuspid valves open to fill up the ventricle

41
Q

what happens when arterial pressure drops?

A

the arterioles dilate to restore blood flow

42
Q

where are the ganglion of the parasympathetic and the sympathetic pathway ?

A

para= cardiac fat pads
sympa= near the spinal cord

43
Q

where are situed the baroreceptors?

A

in the carotid arteries

44
Q

what effect has the low baroreceptor firing (they fire a lot when the BP is high)?

A

it increase HR,SV and TPR

45
Q

what effect has chemoreceptors

A

they increase HR

46
Q

MAP = ?

A

= SV x HR x TPR
