- Which action potential phase is paired CORRECTLY with when it happens during the EKG? A. Action potential B, phase 0 = T wave B. Action potential A, phase 0 = QRS complex C. Action potential A, phase 3 = S-wave D. Action potential B, phase 0 = PQ interval E. Action potential A, phase 4 = ST segmentarrow_forwardA 60 year-old patient HA, who was bedridden for a few days, feels dizzy and experiences significant increase in his heart rate after standing up. If this patient is regularly taking Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, such as lisinopril, how will this drug affect his sympathetic discharge to the heart, to veins and to arterioles? What changes in his blood pressure can be expected? What advice should be given to this patient?arrow_forwardInterpret paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia from ECGarrow_forward
- Epinephrine is released during vigorous exercise. How would epinephrine cause vasoconstriction in the digestive organs but vasodilation in the heart?arrow_forwardWhile beta blockers have no value in the treatment of an acute angina, nifedipine immediate release (oral or sublingual) can help with an acute angina attach. However, immediate release nifedipine is not recommended to treat an acute angina attach. Why?arrow_forwardActivation of α-adrenergic receptors in vascular smooth muscle stimulates (vasodilation or vasoconstriction). Give an example of an organ system where this occurs.arrow_forward
- Would you please help with the assignment in the attachment?arrow_forwardVasodilation caused by the following factors EXCEPT: a. Increased sympathetic stimulation. b. Increased lactic acid production. c. Decreased sympathetic stimulation. d. Increased nitric oxide concentration. e. Increased hydrogen ion (H) concentration.arrow_forwardBe able to describe the significance of ryanodine receptors found on the SR of cardiac contractile cells.arrow_forward
- Using Figure 4 as a reference, explain whether there was a difference in the resting heart rates of athletes and non-athletes. Explain the physiology behind your results in terms of the relationship between heart rate and stroke volumearrow_forwardDrugs known as calcium channel blockers prevent Ca++ movement through Ca++ channels. Explain two ways that this action can lower blood pressure. Why are neurons and other cells unaffected by these drugs?arrow_forwardWhat physiological factors influence cerebral blood flow? How can this be changed during stress conditions? What are the major compensatory responses to acute blood loss? List the most important hormones involved. What is a major difference between chronic and acute blood loss? Give some examples.arrow_forward
