what are the diastolic and systolic pressure in pulmonary circulation?
systolic = 30mmHg
diastolic = 12mmHg
what are the systolic and diastolic pressures in the aorta?
systolic = 120mmHg
diastolic = 80mmHg
what is the primary controller of coronary blood flow?
local metabolism, this is what controls the coronary artery radius.
during exercise where will the distribution of CO change to?
1- the heart (done via active hyperaemia)
2- skin (the core body temp increases, causing decreased sympathetic innervation to the skin)
what is the first order of kinetics?
occurs when a constant proportion of the drug is eliminated per unit time.
what is albumin?
- this is a plasma protein that helps to create osmotic forces
- it does this by helping to pull fluid into capillaries
- it binds to free drug
what is the Bainbridge reflex?
this is a sympathetic reflex that is a response to increased blood in the atria, causing increased heart rate and contractility, preventing the damming of the blood in veins.
what is decremental conduction?
the more frequently the AV node is stimulated, the slower it will conduct.
This prevents rapid conduction to the ventricle in cases of rapid atrial rhythms.
what is atrial fibrillation?
irregular and fast heart beat
what will the cardinal vein drain?
the trunk and head region of the embryo
what will the umbilical vein drain?
it will bring oxygenated blood from the placenta.
what will the vitelline vein drain?
the yolk sac

trunks arteriosus
what will the conus cordis become?
the aortic vestibule and the infundibulum
what will the trunks arteriosus become?
it will divide into the pulmonary and aortic trunk.
what channel will digoxin inhibit?
Na/K ATPase
resting membrane potential can’t be restored
what are the 4 cranial veins?
1- cerebral veins
2- dural venous sinuses
3- diploic veins
4- emissary veins.
where will berry aneurysms occur?

anterior cerebral arteries
associated with sub-arachnoid haemorrhage
where will syphilitic aneurysms occur?
thoracic aorta
where will mycotic aneurysms occur?

epicardial coronary artery stenosis
this is the main cause of angina.
how is total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery compensated for by the body?
by filling from the collaterals of the right coronary artery.
what will ECG’s of angina have?
ST depression
