109
Q

atropine then Ach

A

normal HR & force (plant alkaloid blocks M2)

110
Q

frank-sterling law

A

length-tension of an intact heart; with additional blood, volume stretches the muscle tissue so the heart contracts more forcefully & ejects

111
Q

why is there a delay between the atrial and ventricular contractions?

A

because the depol wave starts in the SV and first travels through the atria. then the depol is transmitted to the AV which slows spread of depol due to limited connections and small fiber diameters

112
Q

what effects do isuprel and ach have on the heart?

A

opposite; isuprel increases HR and contractile force, Ach decreases HR and contractile force

113
Q

what receptor does atropine block to increase HR?

114
Q

digitalis

A

increases force of contraction because increases ca2+ concentrations intracellularly

123
Q

tense hemoglobin

A

low affinity, less receptive to O2

124
Q

relaxed hemoglobin

A

high affinity, more receptive to O2

125
Q

cooperativity

A

gives sigmoidal curve; each successive bound O2 changes conformation of subunit, making it more receptive; allows more efficient unloading and loading of O2 within the physiological range of partial pressures

126
Q

P50

A

when hemoglobin is 50% saturated with oxygen

127
Q

right shift

A

lower affinity for O2, O2 release, P50 increase

128
Q

right shift conditions

A

increase CO2 increase acidity increase DPG increase exercise increase temperature

129
Q

calculating % hemoglobin saturation

131
Q

B

A

absorbance at each pressure reduction

132
Q

C

A

absorbance at oxy

133
Q

what does a higher absorbance value mean for blood

A

the saturation of hemoglobin is increased, therefore it is more deoxygenated

134
Q
