Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3ILQ
Read this article (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/strokespell) to learn about a teenager who experiences a series of spells that suggest a stroke. He undergoes endless tests and seeks input from multiple doctors. In the end, one expert, one question, and a simple blood pressure cuff answers the question. Why would the heart have to beat faster when the teenager changes his body position from lying down to sitting, and then to standing?

Mary is a 55-year old overweight woman who has poor diet and does not exercise. One day while walking up the stairs she felt sharp pain in the left side of her chest, neck and in left arm. Her doctor told her that she experienced heart pain (angina) due to possible heart problems and needs to get some test done. While she is waiting for the results of her tests Mary asks you why she was feeling pain in her arm and neck if the problem was with her heart. Explain using appropriate physiological and anatomical details.
List everything that would happen if the cardiac muscles turned into skeletal muscles.

- A pithed frog in which the brain and spinal cord are severed is technically dead but some of its organs such as heart, continue to function for some time. An experiment was performed on a pithed frog. After recording the normal heartbeats (normal cardiogram or sinus rhythm), a ligature (ie. tying) is applied between the sinus venosus and right auricle. (Sinus venosus is the pacemaker in amphibian heart). It is the first ligature (I ligature). After a while, a second ligature is applied between auricles and ventricle (II ligature). The heart rates record is shown below. What can we learn from this experiment about the rhythmicity of our cardiac muscle? List THREE points.

Please note that this homeostatic reflex begins once the activity has stopped to reset resting HR. Please match the following statements (on the left) to the appropriate steps in the pathway (on the right). You will use each match once. 6. 5 Heart rate slows Medulla oblongata 1.

For cycling, four incline levels typically determine how much more intense you would like the workout to be. Level one is a walking pace, two is slightly more difficult, three is like cycling up a hill, and four is the most intense like cycling up a mountain. I will test the heart rate to see how it increases or decreases depending on each incline level. The moderate activity would be levels one and two, while the strenuous activity would be levels three and four. Before beginning the exercise, I will sit on the bike in a resting position to get my resting heart rate. Then I will start the stopwatch on the bike that records my cycling time, heart rate, and RPM (revolutions per minute). I will start at level one for five minutes and then record my heart rate after the session. I will rest for five minutes and then repeat the same process for each incline level (three more times; four in total). What may be the…arrow_forward
- You are caring for a client from China. He denies a complaint of pain. You notice he is splinting and guarding his right side when he moves. He is grimacing and his jaw is clenched. You note he is frequently repositioning himself in the chair and you occasionally hear him grunt with the effort. What could you derive from your observations and what should you do?arrow_forwardYou are supervising a student who is carrying out several experiments on an animal species that has cardiac muscle almost identical to that of humans. She has recorded the electrical and contractile response of the muscle after stimulation and asks you to take a look at the graph.arrow_forwardCardiac muscles differ from skeletal muscles in that they.arrow_forward

Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the whole ventricle. Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the bottom of the heart first to allow it to spread from the bottom to the top of the heart. To allow the electrical pulse (action potential) to pause for 0.1s before spreading to the ventricle.arrow_forwardDrugs such as nifedipine slow the heart rate.
