Mamm Phys Final Flashcards
Sympathetic Receptors
Preganglionic: ACh to nicotinic
Postganglionic: adrenergic
Atropine
PS antagonist bc antimuscurinic
Isopoterenal
Beta agonist
Thromboxane
Stimulates platelet aggregation
Proteins in blood clotting
PAC converts prothrombin -> thrombin, thrombin combines with fibrinogen to make fibrin monomer -> polymer
Vitamin K
Used in clotting factors
Warfarin
Anticiagulent; antagonist of vitamin K
EDTA
Anticoagulent; Ca chelator
Plasminogen
Turns into plasmin, which breaks down fibrin
TPA
Tissue plasminogen activator, prevents clotting by causing fibrinolysis
Cardiac Output
blood pumped by heart; heart rate times stroke volume
Ionotropic chemicals
Affect contractility of the heart (positive= isoproterenol)
Chronotropic chemicals
Affect heart rate
Mean blood pressure
1/3 pulse pressure + diastolic blood pressure
Laminar flow
Blood moves through vessels in sheets
Reynolds number
(Rho x v x diameter)/n
Total peripheral resistance
CO= MABP/TPR
Stimulating sympathetic neurons in lung and arterioles
Arterioles: vasoconstriction
Lungs: bronchodilation
Stimulating parasympathetic nerves to lung and heart:
Lung: bronchoconstriction
Heart: decreases heart rate
Patency
Cartilage holds open airways
Positive inspiration
Increasing atm pressure to force air into lungs
Relate Pip to inspiration/expiration
Low Pip= inspiration, high Pip= expiration
Respiratory control center
Medulla
Chemicals that cause bronchoconstriction
Histamine, prostaglandin, thromboxane, leukotriene
