26
Does your heart rate increase or decrease in a sympathetic response?
Increase
27
Does your heart rate increase or decrease in a parasympathetic response?
Normal or decreased
28
How do you calculate the percentage change in heart rate?
% = new heart rate - initial heart rate/ initial heart rate X 100 (eg) 80.76 - 88.13/ 88.13 X 100 = -8.36% change
29
Explain Brownian motion in simple terms.
Random Movement displayed in small particles suspended in fluid. From areas of High concentration to low concentration.
30
How was Brownian motion represented in lab?
Using glass particles in the solution we observed that the smallest particles would move freely, colliding with each other in random. The large particles could be observed to be stable and unmoving.
31
mean=?

64
What is meant by stereopsis in binocular vision?
The ability to derive how far away objects solely based on the relative positions of the object in the two eyes.
65
Distinguish between conduction deafness and nerve deafness.
Conductive deafness is caused by an obstruction or damage to the middle or outer ear. nerve deafness is caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve itself.
66
How did we test for conduction deafness and nerve deafness in lab?
By striking a tuning fork, the open end was placed near the outer ear to test for sound reception. The handle was then placed behind the auricle of the ear to test the vibrational reception.
67
How did we test for peripheral vision in lab?
Using stylish head gear, we clipped images to the side and slowly moved them towards the centre. From there the participant had to decipher when they could see the colour & shape of the object until the image became clear. Was measured with a protractor to distinguish the angle to which they could see the image.
68
Why is it harder to balance with your eyes closed?
Visual input is the primary source of information to gauge our surroundings. Remove that primary source and balance becomes much more difficult.
69
What's the difference between pain threshold and pain tolerance?
Threshold is the minimum intensity at which a person begins to perceive, or sense a stimulus as being painful. Tolerance is the maximum amount or level of pain a person can tolerate or bear.
70
What is the typical AP pattern of a contractile cell?
Depolarization, early repolarization, plateau, final repolarization
71
What is the relaxation period preceding the P wave called?
Atrioventricular diastole
72

220 - age
78
Ight. Step by step (5 steps) tell me how ECG relates the the contractions of the heart?
1) SA node and Atrial activity begin (ECG TRACING) 60-100 AP 2) Stimulus spreads across atria to AV node (P waves, atrial depolarization) 3) 100 msec delay at AV node (Atrial contractions start) (P-R interval, conduction through AV node and AV bundle) 4) Impulse travels up the interventricular septum/Av bundle/bundle branches/ purkinje fibers to the papillary muscle of the right ventricle. (Q wave, beginning of ventricular depolarixation) 5) Purkinje fibers distribute impluses and relay them though the ventricular myocardium. (Attrial contractions end and ventricular contractions begin) (QRS complex, completion of ventricular depolarization)
79
Describe the dive reflex.
An innate physiological response when the body or head is being submerged under water for a period of time. Initially the body reacts to the water temperature, which may increase heart rate, but after adaptation has occurred the respiratory and Cardiac systems slow down in order to preserve the most oxygen for the brain and heart while skeletal muscles and other non essential organs do not receive oxygen.
80
What is happening for the S3 and S4 heart sounds?
*very faint, seldom audible S3- blood flowing into the ventricles S4- Atrial contraction
81
What does SV, EDV and ESV stand for?
SV - Stroke volume EDV - End-diastolic volume ESV - End-systolic volume SV = EDV - ESV
82
Normal SV at rest is?
70-80 mL *the volume ejected by each ventricle per "beat"
83
What do P waves measure on an ECG?
The depolarization of the Atria
84
What do QRS waves measure on an ECG
The depolarization of the ventricles **(and repolarization of the Atria)
85
What is systole?
The contraction of the chambers (ventricles) to pump/ eject blood out into the arteries
86
What is diastole?
Heart relaxing after contraction allowing chambers to fill with blood.
87
What is atrial systole?
- Atrias are contracting - This creates higher pressure in the atria to push (a little more) blood into the ventricles **Atrial systole ends and Atrial diastole begins
88
What is ventricular systole?
- Ventricles are contracting - Pressure in ventricles stars to rise, (closes AV valves. * no blood flow out yet because the semilunar valves are still closed **(called ISOVOLUMETRIC CONTRACTION) - Pressure in the ventricles eventually exceeds that of the aorta/arteries, and the semilunar valves open and blood rushes out into the arteries. **(ventricles have reached the peak of their contractions and begin to relax. End of systole and beginning of Diastole)
89
What is Ventricular Diastole?
- Pressure in the ventricles drops and they enter a period of "ISOVOLUMETRIC RELAXATION" (no blood flow in or out) - Ventricles relax even more and the pressure has now decreased enough to allow the AV valve to open (blood from the atria can now pass ito the ventricles (passively)
90
P wave
electrical activity that acompanies DEPOLARIZATION OF THE ATRIA midway through the p wave is when atriole systole begins
91
P-R segment
Impulses spread through the AV node and the AV bundle into the left and right bundle branches or the cardiac conducting pathway
92
what is the combination of the P wave and the P-R segment?
PR interval
93
QRS complex
Largest amplitude of the wave patterns.
94
Q portion of the QRS
the time when the interventricular septum begins to undergo depolarization
95
R & S of the QRS
Late ventricular depolarization
96
S-T segment
Ventricles are contracting while the ventricular cells are in their "plateau" phase of the AP
97
T wave
Ventricular repolarization
98
QT interval
(begining of Q wave to the end of T wave)
99
T-P time
the time between the end of one T wave and the start of the next P wave
100
