Definition
red cell volume
(hemocrite/rbc) x 10
femtoliter
Term

Definition
high rbc
Term
leukocytosis
Definition
high wbc
Term
hypoxia
Definition
low oxygen
Term
starch broken into what by what enzyme?
Definition
maltose
by salivary and pancreatic amylase
Term
maltose via maltase
Definition
glucose and glucose
Term
lactose via lactase
Definition
glucose and galactose
Term
sucse via sucrase
Definition
glucose and fructose
Term
nucleus number in cardiac
Definition
single
Term
location of pace maker in frog
Definition
sinus venosus
Term
effect of temp on heart rate?
Definition
hot will increase heart rate
cold will decrease heart rate
Term
effect of stretching cardiac muscle?
Definition
activated more cross bridges and therefore increases the force of contraction
Term
acytylcholine effect on heart?
Definition
decreases HR, PNS(vagus nerve)
Term
epinephrine effect on heart
Definition
increase HR, increases force of contraction
Term
effect on HR when atropine is used alone?
Definition
increases HR
Term
which has a shorter refractory period? cadiac or skeletal muscle?
Definition
skeletal muscle
Term
ACH
Definition
decreases HR
inhibits entry of Na and Ca into cell
makes inside of cell more negative
takes longer to form AP
causes hyperpolarization
PNS
Term
Epinephrine
Definition
increases Na and Ca entry into cell
makes inside of cell more positive
quicker formation of AP
causes depolarization
SNS
Term
in order for muscle to contract what is needed and then needs to be taken away for it to relax?
Definition
Ca
Term
rectuitment
Definition
increasing the number of active motor units
Term
more efficient to induce twitch in muscle or in nerve?
Definition
in nerve bc they have lower stimulus threshold than muscles
Term
different muscle contration times
Definition
smooth > cardiac > skeletal
Term
somatic relex
Definition
skeletal muscle, always excitatory
Term
autonomic relfex
Definition
could be excitatory or inhibitory
Term
ipsilateral
Definition
relex occurs on same side as stimulus
Term
contralateral
Definition
reflex occurs on opposite side of stimulus
Term
myotatic
Definition
stretch reflex, simple
Term
westphals sign
Definition
no patellar reflex
Term
accomodation reflex
Definition
far away = dilation
close = constriction
Term
utricle
Definition
linear
Term
saccule
Definition
verticle
Term
vestiblue
Definition
static equalibrium
Term
semicircular canals
Definition
dynamic equalibrium
Term
pulse deficit
Definition
incomplete filling and premature ventricular contraction of the heart and pulse cannot be palpated
Term
hydrostatic pressure
Definition
produced by weight of water pressing on the surface area
Term
pulse pressure
Definition
the force ur heart generates with every contraction
= SP - DP
Term
mean arterial pressure
Definition
average of arterial pressure during the cardiac cycle
= DP + 1/3PP
Term
stroke volume
Definition
volume of blood pumped by each ventricle during systole
body weight x 0.92
(1 kg=2.23lbs)
Term
cardiac output
Definition
volume of blood in ml that is pumped by the heart per minute
= HR x SV
Term
total peripheral resistance
Definition
the sum of resistance encountered by systemic vaculature, the heart must overcomt this resistance in a foced contraction of the ventricles to push blood thro the arterioles and capillaries of th body
= map/co
Term
blood flow
Definition
pressure difference / radius
Term
hypercalcemia
Definition
shortened QT interval
Term
hypocalcemia
Definition
prolonged QT interval
Term
coronary ishemia
Definition
flattened or inverted t waves
Term
hypokalemia
Definition
prominent u waves
Term
hyperacute t waves
Definition
possibly the first manifestation of acute myocardial infarction
Term
sternomastoid muscles
Definition
of the neck, assist in raising the sternum in forceful inhalation
Term
abdominal muscles
Definition
raise pressure in the abdomen and push the relzxed diaphgram up
powerful ecpiratory force
Term
respiratory sinus atthythmia
Definition
the normal variation in heart rate during respiration
Term
inspiratory nerons
Definition
have an inhibitory effect on vagal cardiac nerves and decrease HR
Term
pulmonary capacities
Definition
when 2 or more pulmonary volumes are added together
Term
apnea
Definition
lack of desire to breathe
Term
hypercapnia
Definition
high levels of CO2
Term
alkalosis
Definition
decrease CO2 decreased H, increase in pH, hyperventilation
