Q

Difference between primary and secondary intension?

A

primary has less necrosis
greater scar in secondary
more fibrin present in secondary due to increased acute inflammation
secondary has larger amount of granulation tissue. the granulation tissue invades the incision space and collagen fibres bridge incision space

25
electophysiological recording methods?

26
what information can be gathered form single channel recording?
what opens the channel conductance what ions flow through the channel inhibitors of the channel
27
stages of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling?
1. after cardiac action potential there is a depolarisation of the cardiac membrane 2. this activates the Ca channels which leads to an influx of calcium 3. The influx activates the RyR receptors which allows the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 4. contraction of heart muscles 5. relaxation occurs when basal level is met once again process is activated by calcium induced calcium release.

what is the effect of repeated childbirth on the bladder?
may weaken the pelvic floor and allow the bladder to drop affecting continence
38
what structure do men have that prevents the backflow of urine into the bladder?
prepostatic internal sphincter
39
how do women prevent urine backflow into the bladder?
they do not have a sphincter The bladder is above the pelvic organ so the pressure of the pelvic organs as well as the levator ani contribute to urinary continence

through the pelvic (now in the perineum) surrounded by the external sphincter (made up of striated muscle)
44
the parts of the male urethra?

45
vascular supply of the prostate and urethra?
aorta--> L and R common iliac --> internal iliac vein --> internal pudendal artery --> organ--> internal pudendal vein --> internal iliac vein

49
how does the vascular supply of the urethra in the males and females differ?

how is micturition (urination) maintained?
- relaxation of the external urethral sphincter (made up of striated muscle) - pudendal nerve - contraction of abdominal wall - sensation of urine in urethra
51
what is the nerve supply for the urinary system?
somatic motor for striated muscle | autonomic: sympathetic for male pre-prostatic sphincter and parasympathetic for detrusor
