Absent from alveolar mucosa
Increased HR, Increased CO, increased RR to balance tissue O2 consumption and CO2
exercise
Increased HR, CO but decrease in PaO2/PaCO2 d/t hypoxemia
high altitude
leads to hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis
Decreased CO w/ compensatory tachycardia that leads to hypoxemia
PE
Decreased blood flow to left side of heart
Hypoxemia stimulates lung vagal receptors ischemic parenchyma leading to hyperventilatin nad respiratory alkalosis
Carotid sinus massage
reflex vagal discharge to SA node, atrial myocytes, AV node>
reduction in HR and CO
Panic attack
Raise in HR and CO via SNS stimulatuion, but hyperventilation adn respiratory alkalosis
High cortisol w/ low ACTH
Cushing syndrome adrenal adenoma
high cortisol and elevated ACTH levels, suppressed by HIGH dose but not LOW dose dex
Cushing syndrome by pituitary adenoma
ACTH and cortisol unchanged after high dose dex test
ectopic ACTH production

Poisoning by puffer fish
Binds to Na channel and keps it OPEN causing persistent depolarization

Golgi tendon
Located at the junction of muscle and tendon and innervated by 1b sensory axons
GTO
A-delta fibers
thin myelinated nerve fibers that detect temperature and nocicpetive stimuli
*acute pain, retracts hand from stome
Connected in parallel w/ extrafusal fibers and innervated by group 1a and II sensory axons that are sensitive to changes in length (mediate the STRETCH reflex)
