, preload - Correct answer-(force inside the left ventricle) Starling's law (greater the
preload greater the contraction)
name 4 physiological changes during a sympathetic response - Correct answer-
(pupil dilation, bronchiole dilation, increased HT and vasoconstriction), GI activity
slows down, liver stores glycogen which will convert to glucose for instant fuel
Vfib- - Correct answer-no organized electrical activity and is shockable, 0 pulse
V-tach - Correct answer-tall tell sign is it has the same amplitude
Afib- - Correct answer-tall tell signs are less than .12 and 0 PRI
vagus nerve is the - Correct answer-10/12 cranial nerve part of the PNS drops BP
and HT
minute volume = - Correct answer-MV how much air make it to the alveoli per
minute MV= tidal volume X respiratory rate - dead space
vital capacity of your lungs is about how many liters - Correct answer-6L
tidal volume is the - Correct answer-amount air in one breath (500ml)
dead space is - Correct answer-the amount of air that doesn't make it to the alveoli
a group of cells that perform a similar function is - Correct answer-are tissue cells
ex: (GI tissue)
