physio 1 Flashcards
maintenance of nearly constant conditions in the internal environment
homeostasis
any stimulus that creates an imbalance in the internal environment
stress
a chance in some parameter causes a response that results in a return of that parameter to normal (baseline)
negative feedback loops
the degree of effectiveness with which a control system maintains constant conditions
gain
gain equation
correction/error
which of the following types of neurons would transmit an action potential the fastest
large diameter, myelinated
saltatory conduction is characteristic of which part of a typical neuron
axon
what are the phases of fast action potentials
4= resting potential. 0= rapid depolarization. 1= initial, incomplete repolarization. 2= plateau or slow decline of membrane potential. 3=repolarization
what are fast action potentials due to changes in
conductance of potassium, sodium, and calcium ions
what things can result in a faster conduction velocity
greater AP amplitude, more rapid rate of rise of phase 0, larger cell diameter
stroke volume output can be increased (to more than double) by what?
increasing EDV or decreasing ESV
describe the axis for lead 1
2 electrodes on 2 arms
describe the axis for lead 2
electrodes on right arm and left leg
describe the axis for lead 3
electrodes on left arm and left leg
how much blood volume is in the systemic circulation
84%
vascular compliance (capacitance)
increase in volume/increase in pressure
what factors affect venous return to the heart systemic circulation
degree of filling of systemic circulation, resistance to flood flow
what is high hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries caused by
rapid fluid filtration
what does low hydrostatic pressure in peritubular capillaries permit
rapid fluid reabsorption
what is the glomerular filtration rate determined by
balance of hydrostatic and colloid osmotic forces acting across capillary membrane
what does SGLT2 do
reabsorbs 90% of glucose in early proximal tubule
what does SGLT1 do
reabsorbs 10% of glucose in late proximal tubule
