Q

Day 30: Programmed cells seed liver.
Day 40: Cells disappear from AGM region.

Q

Atrial septal defects

A

2:1 prevalence in females to males. Most ASDs result in an initial L to R atrial shunting leading to pulmonary damage, increase in pulmonary resistance and R ventricle hypertrophy causing R to L shunting, cyanosis and congestive heart failure.

Q

Heart sounds: 4 is…
1 is…
2 is…
3 is…

A

4 - Atrial topping off ventricle (end of atrial systole)
1 - AV valves closing and blood hitting closed valves during isovolumetric contraction of ventricles.
2 - Aortic and pulmonary valves closing
3 - Rapid filling of ventricles

25
Q

QRS wave corresponds with what on an EKG

A

Closing of the mitral valve before ventricular contraction

26
Q

Systolic vs Diastolic murmur

A

Systolic: Mitral regurgitation and aorta/pulmonary A. stenosis
Diastolic: aorta/pulmonary A. regurgitation and mitral/tricuspid stenosis

27
Q

Chronotropic

A

Changes in heart rate.

Positive effect increases heart rate and negative effect slows.

28
Q

Inotropic and Lusitropic

A

Strength of muscular contraction and rate of muscle relaxation.

29
Q

Dromotropic

A

Speed of conductance.

30
Q

Parasympathetic Stim.

A

Vagus nerve using ACh neurotransmitter and M2/M3 muscarinic receptors. Generally slows heart rate (neg. chronotropic and dromotropic effects). ATRIAL ONLY

31
Q

Sympathetic Stim.

A

Norepi. neurotransmitter and Beta1-adrenergic receptors. Generally speeds up heart rate (pos. chronotropic, dromotropic and inotropic/lusitropic effects).

32
Q

Cardiac Output

A

Heart rate x stroke volume

approximately 5L/min

33
Q

Preload

A

Wall tension in L ventricle just before contraction is initiated.

36
Q

Ejection Fraction

A

Stroke volume/End diastolic vol.

approximately 55%

37
Q

Persistent AV Canal

A

Linked to Down’s syndrome. Failure of AV septum fusion.

38
Q

Sympathetic effect on juxtaglomerular apparatus

A

Increases blood volume. Beta 1 receptor increases renin releases causing release of angiotensin -> angiotensin 2 -> aldosterone -> reabsorption of Na+ and release of ADH increasing H2O absorption
