LAB FINAL Flashcards
What is a urinometer?
Urine test tube that floats
What is a chemstix?
Urine test strip
2 instruments used for sensory tests?
Mallet and tuning fork
Negative feedback loop for ppCO2?
Stimulus: Increase in ppCO2
Sensor: Chemoreceptors in aortic arch/carotid sinus
Integrator: Medulla Oblongata
Effector: Diaphragm + external intercostal muscles
Response: Increase breathing rate and depth
Result: decrease ppCO2
Obstructive pulmonary disease:
If %FEV1 < 80%
Restrictive pulmonary disease:
When actual FVC < predicted FVC
What is the electrical pathway through the heart:
SA node AV node Bundle of HIS Rt bundle branch Lt bundle branch Rt purkinjee fiber Lt purkinjee fiber
P wave represents:
Atrial depolarization
QRS interval:
Ventricle depolarization
T wave:
Ventricle repolarization
When does atrial repolarization occur?
During QRS but you cannot see it
P wave ratio and normal amount:
1:1
normal= 0.11 sec
P-R interval normal amount:
0.12-0.20 sec
QRS interval normal amount:
0.04-0.1 sec
T wave normal amount:
0.04-0.08 sec
Smaller lumen:
Artery
Larger lumen:
Veins
Tunica Interna:
- innermost
- in direct contact with blood flow
- one layer of endothelial cells
Tunica Media:
- middle
- largely SMOOTH muscle
- allows constriction/dilation
- key regulator for blood flow
Tunica Adventitia/externa:
- outermost
- largely CONNECTIVE tissue
- acts as anchor
Anterior pituitary releases:
–Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) –Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) –Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) –Luteinizing hormone (LH) –Prolactin (PRL) –Growth hormone (GH)
Posterior pituitary releases:
–Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
–Oxytocin
Function of sarcomere:
Contains contractile proteins (actin and myosin) that causes muscle to shorten when they interact
Function of intercalated discs:
- Specific to cardiac
- Holds cells together
Function of nucleus:
Contains DNA
Function of Islet of Langerhans:
Secretes alpha and beta cells into blood
What does the thyroid gland secrete?
Calcitonin when high blood Ca
What do thyroid follicular cells secrete?
Thyroid hormone T3 & T4 to regulate metabolism
What is colloid:
Fluid within the thyroid follicle
What does the zona glomerulosa secrete?
Aldosterone when blood volume is low
What does the zona fasciculata secrete?
Cortisol when under stress
What does the zona reticularis secrete?
Sex hormones
Zones of adrenal gland from innermost to outermost?
Zona Reticularis
Zona Fasciculata
Zona Glomerulosa
When the posterior pituitary releases ADH, is this when you are hydrated or dehydrated?
blood osmolarity high= dehydrated
When the posterior pituitary releases ADH, what is the target?
Kidney- to reabsorb H20 back into blood to decrease blood osmolarity
Adrenal medulla releases;
Epi and nor epi
What does the ovary secrete?
Progesterone and estrogen
What does the seminiferous tubule of testis secrete?
Testosterone
