Physiology Flashcards
Resting Membrane Potential
-70 to -90 mV
Depolarization
-70 to +30 mV
Threshold = -55 mV (
Na+ influx
Re-polarization
+30 to -75 mV
Efflux of K+ ions
Hyperpolorization
-75 to -90 mV
K+ leakage
All or non law
Applied to AP
P wave
Atrial depolarization (contracts)
QRS wave
Atrial re-polarization (relaxes) Ventricular depolarization (contracts)
T wave
Ventricular re-polarization (relaxes)
SA node
60 -90 bpms
AV node
30-50 bpms
Controls PQ interval
His bundle and Purkunje Fibers
10-20 bpms
Controls QRS unit
Low ST interval
Myocardial Infarction
Adenohypophysis
TSH ACTH GTH FSH LH Prolactin (NB for diagnosis of pathology in pituitary gland) GH Melanocyte SH
Neurohypophysis
Vasopressin/ADH (Increases tubular H2O absorption and controls bp)
Oxytocin (stimulates milk production and uterus contraction)
Hyperthyriodism
Graves disease
Hypothyriodism
Hashimotos disease
Calcitonin
Cells that produce calcitonin can be stained by silver
Produced by thyroid
Bone mineralization
Pararthyriod hormone
Bone demineralization
Produced by thyroid
Conns Disease
Increased levels of aldosterone
Cushings syndrome
Increased cortisol due to genetic factors
Cushings disease
Increased cortisol due to pituitary adenoma or trauma to the pituitary
Brainstem - Midbrain
Red nucleus (Injury causes flexed muscles) - Tension of flexor muscles
Brainstem - Pons
Quadrigeminal Plate
- Post/Sup = Pupil reflex
- Inf/Ant = Orientation and balance / tension of extensor muscles
Brainstem - MO
Respiratory center
Deglutition (swallowing) center
Brainstem - Cerebellum
Coordination of movement and speech
Spinal cord
Anterior = Motor Posterior = Sensory
SNS vs PNS
SNS = uses adrenaline PNS = uses acetycholine
IgA
Provides immunity in the oral cavity
IgE
Allergic reaction
IgM
Primary/acute infections
IgG
Secondary/chronic infections
G cells
Produce gastrin
Parietal cells
Produce HCL
Chief cells
Poduce pepsin ( digests proteins)
Bleeding
`Decreases haematocrit rate)
Vagus n
Stimulates PaNS Decreases HR (decreased contraction rate)
