ACCURATE ANSWERS
◉ Stimulation of Beta 1 receptors result in an increase of what? Answer:
Heart: Inotropy, Chronotropy, Dromotropy
Kidneys: Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System = Vasoconstriction =
Increase blood pressure
◉ Which node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava and
the right atrium, is typically supplied by the Right Coronary artery, and
fires at a rate of 60-100 bpm. Answer: SA Node
◉ Atrial depolarization characterized by smooth, round, upright
deflection less than 0.11 secs long and less than 2.5mm tall is referred to
as what on the ECG? Answer: P wave
◉ Carvedilol (Coreg)
Metropolol (Lopressor)
Atenolol (Tenormin)
Propranolol (Inderal)
Bisoprolol (Zebeta)
Acebutolol (Sectral)
, Comolol (Brevibloc) Answer: Beta Blockers - used for blood pressure
and cardiac problems
◉ Epinephrine
Norepinephrine
Vasopressin
Dopamine
Phenylephrine
Dobutamine Answer: Vasopressors
◉ The middle of phase 3 to beginning of phase 4 in the cardiac cycle
where cardiac cells are partially refractory and partially repolarized and
certain cells can be depolarized in response to electrical stimulus.
Answer: Relative Refractory Period
(Partial flush of the toilet)
◉ Starlings Law Answer: When end diastolic volume increases, stroke
volume increases as well.
(When more blood is in the ventricles, the cardiac muscle stretches like
rubber band and creates more forceful contraction)
◉ Intrinsic Rate for Ventricles (Purkinje Fibers) Answer: 20-40
