Q

If the mitral valve does not close properly, how would it affect cardiovascular function?

A

Cardiovascular function would be reduced.

Blood flows backwards when valve is closed - making it harder for the heart to work properly

Q

What is another term for anastomoses?

A

collateral circulation

17
Q

What is the function of anastomoses (collateral circulation) of the coronary circulation?

A

Develops slowly as we age to create alternating pathways for the blood to flow through the coronary arteries in case of a blockage.

Helps for protection in older adults in heart attack

18
Q

Name the four electrical components of the heart.

A
  1. SA node - sinoatrial node
  2. AV node - Atrioventricular node
  3. AV bundle - Atrioventricular bundle
  4. Purkinje fibers
19
Q

Which of the following could involve a channel that allows potassium to move down its concentration gradient?

a. IPSPs
b. EPSPs
c. both IPSPs and EPSPs

A

c. both IPSPs and EPSPs

28
Q

What path of the ANS involves muscarinic and nicotinic receptors at both the preganglionic and postganglionic steps?

Sympathetic or Parasympathetic

A

Parasympathetic

29
Q

Beta-2 receptors of sympathetic nervous system in the coronary, cerebral, and pulmonary circulation OR bronchioles of the lungs should be which of the following?

Stimulatory or Inhibitory

A

Inhibitory

30
Q

Which cell is present at high density in the fovea of the eye?

Rods or Cones?

A

Cones

31
Q

What does 20/20 mean?

A

numerator = you
denominator = others

you can see the same as an average person at 20 feet

32
Q

Which is more tiring and why?

Distance vision or Close vision?

A

Close vision

Ciliary muscles are contracted - working hard.

Takes muscular effort

33
Q

Which sensor is specific to linear motion and gravity?

a. semicircular canals
b. Organ of Corti
c. Utricle and Saccule

A

c. Utricle and Saccule

34
Q

Frequency of sound waves relates directly to which of the following?

Pitch or amplitude?

A

Pitch

35
Q

How does the density of cutaneous receptors relate to touch detection threshold?

A

The more dense the receptors, the more sensitive to touch, which means low touch threshold
