What does Sinus rhythm mean? Provide a definition. Name each wave form and describe what is happening electrically in the heart at each point.
Discuss why the heart is called a double pump and compare the pulmonary and systemic circuits.
A general principle of physiology states that information flow between cells, tissues, and organs is an essential feature of homeostasis and allows for integration of physiological processes. How is this principle demonstrated by the relationship between the circulatory and endocrine systems?
explain how heart rate is controlled by the heart itself and by the ANS
As we auscultate the heart it is imperative, we understand what part of the heart we are listening to. Cellular senescence is observed when there is obstruction of the coronary circulation to the muscle tissue of the heart. If the left anterior descending artery (a.k.a. “Widow maker”) is occluded, predict an alternative route of blood flow to the myocardium. Start from the left coronary artery.
1) Where the action potential is generated (i.e. atria or ventricles) 2) What actions are occurring during this process (i.e. contraction and ion flow) 3) When relaxation occurs
Changes in blood pressure occur throughout the day. Short term mechanisms, like the baroreceptor reflex, maintain a steady flow of blood to the tissues to sustain life despite postural changes. However, there can be elevations of blood pressure orchestrated by the nervous system. Describe an example where the nervous system causes changes in the normal functioning of the circulatory system.
The following medications are used to treat an exacerbation of congestive heart failure. Each one of them is actually used to counteract mechanisms the body has naturally set in place in response to a drop in blood pressure and presumed drop in tissue perfusion. For each medication, explain its affect(s) on A, B, and C. If you feel it has no effect on a particular parameter, then say "no effect". Specifically for each: A) affect on TPR (total peripheral resistance) and how/why it changes it B) affect on cardiac output (contractility, heart rate, stroke volume) and how/why it changes it C) blood volume/pressure and how/why it changes it ACEIs (ACE inhibitors) Beta blockers Digoxin Nitrates (nitroglycerin, isosorbide) Diuretics like Lasix
Define the term 'distributive shock' and briefly explain why two of the three types of distributive shock result in increased heart rate, whilst the third type results in decreased heart rate.
Explain how the cross-sectional area of vessels (in cm2, range from 0 to 5000) affects the mean linear velocity of blood (in cm/s, range from 0 to 50) and blood pressure (in mm Hg, range from 0 to 100). Hint, draw a general model of vascular structure from the aorta to the vena cava, and plot how the variables mentioned above change as blood moves along the vessel system.
Explain the role of the autonomic divisions in control of heart rate.
The standard EKG consists of 10 sensors that record 12 leads of the heart’s electrical activity from different angles, allowing for a thorough three-dimensional interpretation of its activity. This is transmitted by the electrodes to the equipment to be interpreted and is used to diagnose cardiac medical conditions. In case of an abnormal EKG, the second step would be to use a Holter monitor. How would you explain to your classmates how to perform an EKG (steps)? Where will you place the electrodes when performing and EKG? Why? What are the different lead types, connections, and placements? When you conclude an EKG, what are the different components that you need to observe and confirm before you disconnect the patient? Can you explain the difference between normal, abnormal, and artifacts? What is a Holter monitor? Under what circumstances would one be ordered for a patient? How do you use a Holter monitor? Educate a patient: What you will do before, during, and after an…
