An artificial heart works in closed loop by varyingits pumping rate according to changes in signalsfrom the recipient's nervous system. For feedbackcompensation design it is important to know theheart's open-loop transfer function. To identify thistransfer function, an artificial heart is implanted in acalf while the main parts of the original heart are leftin place. Then the atrial pumping rate in the originalheart is measured while step input changes areeffected on the artificial heart. It has been foundthat. in general, the obtained response closelyresembles that of a second-order system. In onesuch experiment it was found that the step responsehas a %OS = 30% and a time of first peak 7,127 sec (Nakamura, 2002). Find the correspondingtransfer function.Aside from the corresponding transfer function, determinethe following as well: delay time, rise time, settling time andsteady state error if input is a step response.COM

Which of the following statements best describes the differences in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction? The amount of contractile force actively generated by muscle cells is increased by stretch in skeletal muscle and decreased by stretch in cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle is stimulated by motor neurons and skeletal muscle by neurones from the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscle contractile force is augmented by increasing the firing frequency of action potentials whereas cardiac muscle contractile force is enhanced by noradrenaline increasing calcium influx through ion channels. Ryanodine receptors in skeletal muscle are opened by a mechanism that requires calcium influx whereas in cardiac muscle membrane depolarisation alone without calcium influx is sufficient to open ryanodine receptors.
As we auscultate the heart it is imperative, we understand what part of the heart we are listening to.
