endocardium is thickest in the
atria
perkinjie fibers have very less dense
myofibrils
bright stains on epicardium indicate the presence of
blood vessels
cardiac cells as as a functional sync due to the presence of
intercalated discs
the nucleus of cardiac muscles are located where
centrally
intercalated discs are only found on what cell type
cardiac
transmission of impulses in cardiac cells is due to the gap junctions btw
intercalated discs
purkinjie fibers use this energy source
glycogen
chambers of the heart are lined with
squamous epithelium
posterior trachea is made of
smooth muscle
columnar cells of trachea are lined with
cilia
purpose of cilia anywhere in resp tract
to expel mucous out
difference btwn terminal and resp bronchioles is
resp bronchioles have cuboidal epithelium with some alveoli
alveoli are made primarily of
squamous cells
these produce surfactant
pneumocyte
in infants, contraction of the diaphragm is different how
in adults, contraction results in decreased pressure and increased thoracic space, it is opposite in infants
Lack of O2 is
anoxia
lack of breathing
apnea
normal breathing at rest
eupnea
what is hypercapnia
increased levels of PaCO2 (arterial)
increased rate of breath is known as
hyperpnea
increased PaCO2 and decreased PaO2, and decreased rate of breathing
hypoventilation
so with hyperventilation, you don’t have enough
PaCO2
