Neuro
This cranial nerve controls oculo-motor function.
What is Cranial Nerve iii - The oculo-motor nerve.
These receptors receive sensory information that travel to the hypothalamus to register the sensation of pain.
What is a nociceptor?
This portion of our vascular system delivers un-oxygenated blood to the heart.
What is the venous system?
This hemodynamic measurement is a reflection of the total amount of blood that is expelled with each ventricular systole, and is effected by how fast the heart is beating per minute.
What is the Cardiac Output?
This type of peripheral vessel alteration is characterized by weak peripheral lower extremity pulses, no edema, round smooth sores and eschar from wounds on the feet and toes.
What is arterial peripheral vascular disease?
This vessel structure offers some circulatory protection and redundancy in our brain.
What is the circle of Willis?
Myocardiocytes have these two innate properties that assist in maintaining homeostasis.
Whatt are Automaticity and rhythmicity?
This vascular disorder affects after-load and is a result of genetics, lifestyle and diet, and NA+ intake.
What is hypertension?
This type of chest pain is sharp and heavy and can occur when a peron is at rest.
What is Unstable Angina?
A blood clot in the Left ________ might cause a _______.
What is the atrium and a stroke.
A patient experiencing this alteration would have these signs and symptoms:
Unilateral weakness or flaccidity.
Trouble speaking and understanding language.
Asymmetrical findings in their cranial nerve exam.
What is a stroke, or Brain attack.
When a patient has a pulmonary embolism, this occurs and prevents adequate oxygenation from occurring.
What is gas exchange?
The heart is supplied oxygenated, nutrient rich blood by the _______?
What is the coronary artery system?
Atherosclerosis, fluid volume overload, poor cardiac output all contribute to this force that heart must pump against.
What is afterload?
When a patient is experiencing hypothermia, this vascular response helps to consolidate blood in the body cor.
What is vasoconstriction?
This part of the Autonomic nervous system helps to regulate homeostasis by increasing the heart rate.
What is the Sympathetic Nervous system?
This catecholamine is excreted from the adrenal gland and targets the myocardium and the muscles of the vascular system causing vasoconstriction.
What is adrenalin or epinepherine?
This type of chest pain is sharp and heavy and can occur when a peron is at rest.
What is unstable Angina?
A normal cardio vascula response to dehydration or fluid volume deficit is this.
What is increased heart and vasoconstriction?
Confusion is often a symptom of ______.
What is hypoxia?
This nerve the _______ , is activated when a patient bears down by tensing all their abd and intercostal muscles and causes ______.
What is the Vagus nerve and bradycardia?
This system of specialized endothelial cells form tight junctions that help regulate the movement of o2 and nutrients while keeping out toxins and harmful substances.
What is the Blood brain Barrier?
This occurs when the heart muscle has to work hard for a long time to overcome increased after-load forces.
What is Left ventricular hypertorphy?
The pressure within the arterial system reflects which reading of a blood pressure?
What is the stystolic reading?
In a clinical picture that has ruled out renal disease and fluid volume deficit, a urine output of less than 30 mls per hour would indicate?
What is heart failure?
