The valve separating the right atrium and right ventricle
What is the tricuspid AV valve?
Most abundant white blood cell in circulation
What are neutrophils
The "thick" and "thin" filaments in a muscle fiber respectively
What are myosin and actin?
The location in the lungs where gas exchange occurs
What are the alveoli?
Location of filtration in nephron.
What are the glomerulus and glomerular capsule?
The difference between pulse and mean arterial pressures
Formulas: PP = SP - DP and MAP = 2/3 * DP + 1/3 * SP
The key features of a stem cell
What is can self-replicate and can turn into multiple different types of cells?
Parts of a muscle fiber that change length during contraction.
The volume of "normal" breathing as seen on the spirometry output.
What is the tidal volume?
The descending loop of the nephron is permeable to this
What is water?
The letters corresponding to the first and second heart sounds respectively on this PV loop
What is C and F?
The three steps of hemostasis
What are platelet plug formation, coagulation cascade, and clot removal?
Parts of muscle fiber that don't change length during contraction.
What are M line and A band?
The purpose of surfactant in the lungs
What is keeping the alveoli in tact and increasing overall lung compliance?
The function of vasopressin
What is reabsorb water?
The key difference between a Newtonian and Casson's Fluid
What is Casson's fluid will not flow until a certain shear rate is reached (and will flow non-linearly at low shear rates) while Newtonian fluids flow at rates linear to the shear rate?
The region on an antibody that the antigens bind at.
The type of contraction in which the load is too heavy and the muscle doesn't lengthen/shorten as it generates force
What is isometric?
Two factors that can affect alveolar gas exchange
What are surface area and diffusion distance?
The molecule and calculation that can be used to estimate GFR.
What is the clearance rate of inulin?
The four factors that influence a person's mean arterial pressure
What are blood volume, cardiac output, arterial resistance, and relative distribution of the blood?
The 4 blood types and their respective antigens and antibodies
O - No antigens (RBC), A and B antibodies (plasma)
A - A antigens, B antibodies
B - B antigens, A antibodies
AB - A and B antigens, No antibodies
The general process of a skeletal muscle contraction
What is:
ATP binds to myosin to release actin, Myosin hydrolyzes ATP into ADP and Pi, myosin weakly binds to actin, troponin-tropomyosin complex moves out of way and power broke is completed, myosin releases ADP
An event that would cause a rightward shift in the hemoglobin/oxygen affinity curve.
What is an increase in PCO2, increase in temp, decrease in pH, increase in 2,3-BPG?
Diagnosis of a patient with low pH, low PCO2, and low HCO3-
What is metabolic acidosis?
