Q

What is the neuromuscular junction

A

The site where ends of motor nerve fibers connect to muscle fibers that contain the synaptic vesicles at the end of the nerve fiber containing acetylcholine

84
Q

What is the physiologic process of muscle contraction

A

The nerve impulse comes down the motor nerve fiber once the impulse reaches the end bulb of the nerve fiber acetylcholine is released into the synaptic space and binds to receptors on the sarcolemma surface, the impulse travels along the sarcolemma and thru the T tubules to interior of the cell, and the impulse reaches the sarcoplasmic reticulum resulting in another chain of physiologic events

85
Q

What physiologic process occurs after the sarcoplasmic reticulum recieves an impulse

A

Ca ions released into sarcoplasm, Ca diffuses into myofibrils and starts contraction, and energy is supplied by ATP

86
Q

What is the physiologic process of muscle relaxation

A

Sarcoplasmic reticulum begins pumping Ca back in again by pulling Ca out of the myofibrils using ATP as energy, contraction stops, and the muscle returns to its original length

87
Q

88
Q

What happens w/ actin and myosin when the muscle contracts

A

Cross bridges ratchet back and forth, actin filaments pulled toward center of myosin filaments, and the sarcomere is shortened

89
Q

What is the all or nothing principle

When stimulated ind muscle fiber contracts completely or not at all, the nervous system controls the number of muscle fibers stimulated, and increased strength results from recruiting more fibers

90
Q

What is a twitch contraction

A

A single muscle fiber contraction that has a latent phase, contracting phase, and relaxation phase

91
Q

What is the chemistry of muscle contraction

A

ATP provides energy by hydrolysis from myosin filament produced by mitochondria, creatine phosphate converts ADP back to ATP, catabolism of glucose and oxygen help to produce ATP and CP, glucose is stored in muscle as glycogen, and oxygen is stored as myoglobin w/in the muscle fiber

92
Q

Contraction requires impulses from autonomic nervous system

107
Q

What are the 3 different types of blood vessels

What is the mediastinum

A

The space btw the 2 lungs

115
Q

What is the pericardium

A

The fibrous sac containing the heart parts include the pericardial sac and the serous pericardium

116
Q

What fills the pericardial space

A

Pericardial fluid

117
Q

What is the function of the pericardium

A

To prevent external friction, inflammation from surrounding structures, stabilize the heart position, and help maintain cardiac shape

118
Q

What secretes the pericaridal fluid

A

119
Q

What is pericardial effusion

A

When the 2 AV valves or 2 semilunar valves are not closing simultaneously

148
Q

What 2 things commonly cause heart murmurs

A

Valvular insufficiency and valvular stenosis

149
Q

What is valvular insufficiency

A

When one or more valves dont close all the way

150
Q

What is valvular stenosis

A

Narrowing at one or more valves

151
Q

What is the cardiac output

A

Volume of blood that is ejected out of the left ventricle over a unit of time

152
Q

What are the variables of cardiac output

A

Stroke volume (SV) or systolic discharge and heart rate

153
Q

What is the cardiac output calculation

A

CO = SV * HR

154
Q

What is the stroke volume

A

Represents strength of the heartbeat by measuring how much blood its kicking out w/ each stroke

155
Q

What are the 2 factors of stroke volume

A

Preload the volume of blood received from the atrium and the afterload the physical resistance the heart is beating against such as blood pressure

156
Q

What is contractility

A

The strength of cardiac muscle cells that can also affect stroke volume

157
Q

What is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood

A

The pulmonary artery takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs

158
Q

What is the largest elastic artery

A

The aorta

159
Q

What are capillaries

A

Microscopic blood vessels from branching arterioles, occur in groups called capillary beds or networks to slow down and stager the blood flow for O and CO2 exchange, and are walls are one endothelial cell thick comprised of simple squamous epithelium

160
Q

What are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood

A

The pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs and to the heart

161
Q

What do capillaries join together to form

A

Venules which join together to form veins

162
Q

What are the 2 things that work together to pump blood

A

One way valves and skeletal muscles

163
Q

What do all systemic veins drain into

A

Vena cava

164
Q

What is the pulse

A

Rate of alternating stretching and recoiling of elastic fibers in an artery as blood passes through w/ each heartbeat

165
Q

Where are pulses easies to palpate

A

Superficial arteries lying against firm surfaces

166
Q

What is blood pressure

A

Measurement of the amount of pressure that flowing blood exerts on arterial walls is dependent upon interactions w/ HR, SV, diameter/elasticity of artery, and TBV

167
Q

What is systolic blood pressure

A

Ejection of blood from left ventricle

168
Q

What is diastolic blood pressure

A

Pressure remaining in artery while ventricle is filling

169
Q

What is the mean arterial pressure

A

Average pressure during one cardiac cycle

170
Q

What are the 2 methods of measuring blood pressure

A

Oscillometric method and doppler ultrasound

171
Q

What is the oscillometric method

A

Cuff placed over artery and measures magnitude and frequency of pulsations

172
Q

What is the doppler ultrasound

A

Transducer attached to sphygmomanometer and accurately measures systolic blood pressure only

173
Q

What is the poor man’s dinomap

A

That the femoral artery can be palpated at a systolic pressure of at least 60 mmHg and the dorsal metatarsal pulse can be palpated at a systolic of at least 90 mmHg

174
Q

What does lack of a femoral pulse mean

A

Profound hypotension

175
Q

What are indirect tests to monitor cardiovascular system

A

Electrocardiography, echocardiography, auscultation of the thorax, arterial blood pressure evaluation, and thoracic rads

176
Q

What is an electrocardiography

A

Based on electrical activity of the heart, detects electrical impulses on surface of animals body, and produces an electrocardiogram

177
Q

What is a P wave

A

Time it takes depolarization to travel from SA node thru atria

178
Q

What is the QRS complex

A

Time of ventricular depolarization

179
Q

What is the T wave

A

Ventricular relaxation

180
Q

What is an echocardiograph

A

Cardiac ultrasound procedure that detects the sound waves that bounce off parts of the heart as it beats and is used to evaluate the size, shape, and movement of the heart and its parts

181
Q

What are the 2 methods of doing an echo

A

2 dimensional and doppler

182
Q

What is the 2 dimensional echo

A

Produces 2 dimensional cross section image of the heart to see it working in real time

183
Q

What does the coloration mean on a doppler echo

A

The color depends on if the blood is traveling towards or away from us

184
Q

What is the doppler echo

A

Measures blood flow through the heart and adds color to the image this is useful for the evaluation of valvular stenosis and insufficiency
