Phys I Flashcards
Any stimulus creating an imbalance in internal environment
Stress
Degree of effectiveness with. Which control system maintains constant conditions
Gain
Add 2 L of blood to uncontrolled and to controlled system and measure how much pressure rises. Unncontrolled pressure 100 –> 175. Controlled pressure 100 –»> 125. Whats the gain of this system?
Correction= 175-125= 50, error= 25, gain= 2
Saltatory conduction is characteristic of which part of typical neuron?
Axon
Which band of sarcolemma does NOT shorten during muscle contraction?
A band (length of myosin bundle fibers)
What type of muscle. Has T tubule along Z line and therefore only 1 cisterna per t tubule (forming dyad with SR)
Cardiac muscle fibers
What type of muscle fiber has T tubules at ends of thick filaments (2 cisternae per t tubule forming triad with SR)
Skeletal
What phase of cardiac action potential is resting potential
Phase 4
What phase of cardiac muscle action potential forms a plateau or slow decline of membrane potential
Phase 2
Cardiac. Fast action potentials are due to. Conductance that relies on __ dependent ion channels
Voltage
Cardiac slow action potentials have an upstroke phase which is due to leakage of what ion
Calcium
End diastolic volume - end systolic volume = what
Stroke volume
How do you calculate ejection fraction
Stroke volume/ end diastolic volume
Direction of lead I (left arm to right arm)
0 degrees
Direction of lead II (right arm to left leg)
60 degrees
Direction of lead III (left arm to left leg)
120 degrees
What happens to ECG during SA block
Loss of P wave
What happens to ECG during complete AV block
Lots of P waves, most are not followed by QRS complex
How can you tell the difference in an ECG between tachycardia and atrial fibrillation
Tachycardia still contains normal P waves between QRS complex, A fib does not
Biggest pressure drop in circulatory system occurs where
Arterioles
From large arteries to veins what is the pressure drop
120 mmHG
