A
  • Aortic

- Pulmonic

34
Q

What is the function of the coronary circulation?

A

To deliver O2 and nutrients to the heart and remove waste products

35
Q

What is the role of the cardiac centre in the medulla oblongata?

A

To increase or decrease firing of SA node/rate and contractility

36
Q

What are 2 factors that can affect blood pressure?

A
  • vessel length

- vessel diameter

37
Q

What is the physiology of hearing with the structure of the Tympanic Membrane?

A

Vibrates by sound waves

38
Q

What is the physiology of hearing with the structure of the Ossicles and the Oval Window?

A

Vibration of the ossicles transfers and amplifies the vibratory motion to the oval window

39
Q

What is the physiology of hearing with the structure of the oval window?

A

Vibrations of the oval window create pressure waves in the perilymph of the cochlea

40
Q

What is the physiology of hearing with the structure of the vestibular membrane, perilymph and endolymph in the membranous labyrinth?

A

Pressure waves travel through the perilymph, pass through the vestibular membrane and into the endolymph (in the membranous labyrinth)

41
Q

What is the physiology of hearing with the structure of the endolymph, basilar membrane, and hair cells?

A

Pressure waves in the endolymph cause the basilar membrane to vibrate which moves the hair cells

42
Q

What are 2 age related changes to hearing?

A
  • Tinnitus

- vestibular imbalance

43
Q

What is the correct 4 step process in the removal of carbon dioxide to cells?

A
  1. Diffusion of C02 from cells to systemic capillary
  2. Systemic to pulmonary capillaries
  3. Diffusion of C02 from capillaries to Alveoli
  4. Removal of C02 from alveoli through expiration
44
Q

What is the correct 4 step process to deliver oxygen to cells and tissues?

A

  2. Diffusion of 02 from alveoli into pulmonary capillaries
  3. Perfusion of systemic capillaries with oxygenated blood
  4. Diffusion of 02 from systemic capillaries into cells

Decreases urine output

51
Q

What is the action on the kidney/nephron with the hormone, Atrial Natriuretic Peptide?

52
Q

What is the effect on the urine output with the hormone Atrial Natriuretic Peptide?

A

Increased Urine Output

53
Q

Describe two ways the kidneys contribute to homeostasis

A
  • Kidneys maintain fluid balance in the blood (by controlling the amount of urine produced)
  • kidneys control blood volume and/or blood pressure by regulation of Na+ and water balance
54
Q

Describe 2 ways in which an image can be formed

A
  • Refraction
    • bending of light rays by the cornea
    and retina to focus an image on
    central fovea
  • Accommodation
    • lens increase/decreases curvature to focus the
    Image on the retina
55
Q

Define lung compliance

A

The ease with which the lungs and thoracic wall can be expanded

56
Q

The macular lutea of the eye is the place where…

A

More cones than rods are found

57
Q

Less grind is produced when..

A

The blood pressure decreases and there is less blood flow to the kidneys

58
Q

What would happen with a decrease in blood volume?

A

Dehydration

59
Q

Where do the bundle branches transmit impulses from the AV node?

A

The purkinje fibres

60
Q

Stroke volume refers to what?

61
Q

Erythropoietin stimulates…

A

Production of erythrocytes

62
Q

Structure of The fibrous pericardium

A

  • voice production

(Aids venous and lymph return
pH regulation
sense of smell)
