DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...

- Summary After a heart attack, the restoration of the cardiac function depends on the ability of the heart to generate cardiomyocytes, or new muscle cells. The ability is, however, weak and wanes with age. The alternative strategy involves delivering the newly grown cardiomyocytes to the damaged heart tissue. It requires the use of either induced pluripotent stem (iPS) or the embryonic stem (ES) cells. Embryos are the only sources of ES cells. On the other hand, the in vitro reprogramming of adult differentiated cells transforms them into undifferentiated stem cells. The method allows the production of iPS cells ...

A 16-year-old male was seen for routine physical exam for sports participation clearance. States he feels well today and past medical history is non-contributory. Upon exam, all systems are within normal limits with the exception of a cardiovascular murmur, loudest over the apex, grade II/IV systolic. Patient denies current or previous cardiac symptoms. Denies family history of cardiovascular disease or sudden cardiac death.

The recommendation in this case should be to withhold sports clearance pending a thorough cardiovascular workup, to initially include electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and potentially echocardiogram (with subsequent referral to cardiology) to help rule out cardiomyopathy (National Heart, ...

The idea that sleep was more than just an inactive state for the body changed in 1952 when rapid eye movement (REM) got diagnosed and in extension dreaming; which was another state of consciousness. Consciousness implies being aware of both external and internal stimuli. It flows much like a stream; it wanders depending on the individual’s state of mind; boredom, fatigue or stress. A link between consciousness and the brain exists. Therefore, it is a result of neural activity in the neural pathway network.

There are different states of consciousness: normal waking thought, deep relaxation, light sleep and deep sleep. ...

VENOUS STASIS ULCER

Venous stasis ulcers commonly occur in the legs due to venous insufficiency or poor venous blood drainage. Veins of the legs have valves in then which ensures a proper unidirectional flow of blood towards heart. In venous stasis, these valves are damaged, thus the venous blood accumulates in the legs instead of being pumped upwards. A prolonged pooling of blood in the leg leads to increased pressure in the affected area thus causing a break in the skin and causing ulcers. The causes for venous stasis could be smoking, occupations requiring prolonged hours of standing, obesity or deep vein thrombosis.

Flow of coronary blood is important in enhancing the cardiac function. When acute events or disease states take place, which hinder coronary flow, outcomes are usually damaging or fatal. If coronary flow of blood goes below the required for metabolic needs, the myocardium is regarded as ischemic, where there is impairment of the heart’s pumping capability. There are as well alterations in electrical activity such as increased fibrillation risk. Lengthy ischemia can result in a heart attack that can lead to irreversible death of myocardial cell (Alexander, Schlant and Fuster).

The coronary system comprises of the heart's arterioles, ...

Scientific Method steps

Several ways can be used to state scientific method and the exact scientific method steps depend on how the steps are broken. However, the basic steps involves making observations, coming up with observation explanation using hypothesis proposal, testing validity of the explanation by designing and performing an experiment, and accepting or rejecting the given explanation through data analysis if necessary and even try coming up with a better one. The scientific method steps are important because they attempt to minimize prejudice or biasness in the experimenter. Even a scientist with best intentions cannot escape bias. Bias originates from cultural and personal ...

Body area networks have become common in medical, military and other uses. An example of a body area network is a wearable watch-like heart rate monitor. Measurements of heart rate reveal important information concerning the muscles and the lungs. The pounding of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body supplying the muscles with the required oxygen and removing waste products from them. The more the physical activity of the body, the harder the working of the heart. Therefore, the heart rate determines the effectiveness of the exercise routine in improving the overall health of the body.

It also addresses the criticism regarding the role of the tobacco industry in funding Type A behavior patterns research and identifies ...

During the time of Samuel, why did the people of Israel desire a king?

The people of Israel demanded a king during this time due to several reasons. The age of Samuel contributed greatly to the demand of a king by the Israelites. Samuel was old enough that he could no longer led the Israelites. The Israelites, therefore, needed someone strong to take over Samuel in leading Israel. The other reason why the people of Israel demanded for a king was due to the fact that the sons of Samuel were very corrupt and could not provide services in a just and fair manner to the people of Israel. The people of Israel were, therefore, in need of a ...
