MUSCLE
Know the difference between voluntary muscles and involuntary / smooth muscles vs cardiac muscles
/ skeletal muscle
➢ skeletal muscle (voluntary muscle) - under the control of the brain or nervous system
➢ Smooth muscle (involuntary muscle) - individual has no direct control over these muscles
➢ cardiac muscle - special involuntary muscle that has automaticity (generate its own electrical
impulses)
CLOTTING
Know what happens distally if you block an artery
➢ Ischemia : Tissues distal to the arterial blockage are deprived of oxygen (hypoxia) and nutrients.
CLOTTING
You are called for a 69-year-old male patient with altered mental status. Assessment reveals that he is
confused and has left-sided weakness. During transport, you note that the patient is now completely
oriented and the weakness has resolved. Which condition would you suspect this patient has?
A) Stroke
B) Low blood sugar
C) Transient ischemic attack
D) Syncope
➢ C) Transient ischemic attack
CLOTTING
Which one of these describes the typical signs and symptoms of a transient ischemic attack (TIA)?
A) Temporary, with many TIAs lasting less than 15 minutes
B) Persistent, with most TIAs lasting more than 1 hour but less than 24 hours
C) Mild, but permanent
D) Severe and debilitating
, ➢ Temporary, with many TIAs lasting less than 15 minutes
ALPHA 1 & 2, BETA 1 & 2
A patient with asthma is short of breath because her small airways are constricted. For this patient,
the best medication is one that has which sympathetic (adrenergic) properties A) Beta-2
B) Beta-1
C) Alpha-1
D) Alphuckyouup
➢ Beta-2
MAPPING OUT THE BODY
Sagittal plane - divides the body into right and left halves
frontal/coronal plane - divides the body into front and back
transverse/horizontal plane - upper and lower halves
Midaxillary - middle of patients armpit down to ankle
Anterior (front) vs posterior (back)
Superior (above waist) vs inferior (below waist)
MAPPING OUT THE BODY
Dorsal (towards spine) vs ventral (towards abdomen)
Medial (towards midline) vs lateral (left or right of midline)
Bilateral (both sides) vs unilateral (one side) vs ipsilateral (same side) vs contralateral (opposite side)
Midclavicular (center of collar bones) vs midaxillary (center of armpit)
Plantar (soles of feet) vs palmar (palms of the hand)
BARORECEPTORS
When a healthy person has a sudden increase in blood pressure, what will occur next?
A) Chemoreceptors will increase the rate and depth of breathing
B) Baroreceptors will directly stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system
C) The heart rate will increase and blood vessels will constrict
D) Baroreceptors will signal the brain to decrease the heart rate
➢ D) Baroreceptors will signal the brain to decrease the heart rate
BARORECEPTORS
, What is a baroreceptor’s role in the body?
A) Monitor the heart rate
B) Ensure adequate oxygenation of the red blood cells
C) Monitor the blood pressure
D) Stimulate the production of red blood cells
➢ C) Monitor the blood pressure
NARROW PULSE PRESHA
The EMT would most likely see a narrowed pulse pressure in a patient who:
A) Is bleeding internally
B) Has a fever
C) Has diabetes
D) Has an irregular heartbeat
➢ Is bleeding internally
NARROW PULSE PRESHA
Which blood pressure reading best indicates a narrowed pulse pressure?
A) 120/76 mmHg
B) 108/88 mmHg
C) 210/138 mmHg
D) 88/58 mmHg
➢ B) 108/88 mmHg
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
When cells undergo normal metabolism in the body, which byproduct(s) is (are) produced?
A) Heat, carbon dioxide, and water
B) Lactic acid
C) Protein, carbon dioxide, and water
D) Adenosine monophosphate
➢ Heat, carbon dioxide, and water
AEROBIC VS ANAEROBIC
4) The patient in anaerobic metabolism is deficient in/of:
