Study Notes
Auditory System
- Conduction deafness: greater loss for air conduction than bone conduction of sound
- Nerve deafness: greater loss for bone conduction than air conduction of sound
- Conduction deafness occurs when the physical structures that conduct sound into the cochlea are impaired
- Nerve deafness occurs when the cochlea or cochlear nerve is impaired
- Prolonged exposure to loud sounds is more likely to cause deafness for high-frequency sounds than low-frequency sounds
Auditory Anatomy
- The layer of dense calcium carbonate crystals that covers the otolithic membrane of the utricle and saccule is called the otolith
Hormonal Regulation
- Angiotensin II, aldosterone, atrial natriuretic peptide, and parathyroid hormone affect Na+, Cl-, Ca2+, and/or water reabsorption and/or K+ secretion by the renal tubules
- Thyroid hormone does not affect Na+, Cl-, Ca2+, and/or water reabsorption and/or K+ secretion by the renal tubules
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)
- GFR is directly related to the pressures that determine net filtration pressure
- Angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide help regulate GFR
- Mechanisms that regulate GFR work by adjusting blood flow into and out of the glomerulus and by altering the glomerular capillary surface area available for filtration
- GFR increases when blood flow into the glomerular capillaries increases
- Normally, GFR increases very little when systemic blood pressure rises
Renal System
- The primary site for renal bicarbonate reabsorption linked with sodium reabsorption, under the influence of carbonic anhydrase, is in a specific nephron segment
- Surface tension of alveolar fluid facilitates inhalation
Respiratory System
- Type I respiratory failure occurs when the respiratory system is unable to provide oxygen to the body and is characterized by hypoxia without hypercapnia
- Boyle's law describes the volume-pressure relationship in pulmonary ventilation
Cardiovascular System
- Ejection fraction is the proportion of blood ejected from the heart with each beat
- Parasympathetic stimulation of the heart releases acetylcholine at the parasympathetic nerve endings
- The second heart sound is associated with the closing of the aortic and pulmonary valves
- Decreased potassium permeability at the S-A node will cause the heart rate to decrease
Blood Vessels
- The total cross-sectional area of the circulatory system is greatest in the capillaries
Hormonal Regulation of Diuresis
- Atrial natriuretic peptide is best associated with diuresis without disturbing electrolyte levels (aquaresis)
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) Regulation
- Decreased arteriolar resistance is associated with an increase in GFR
- Increased plasma oncotic pressure and altered Bowman's space pressure do not necessarily predict an increase in GFR
Intestinal Layers
- The order of intestinal layers from the abdominal cavity into the small intestine is: serosa, muscularis, submucosa, lamina propria, and epithelium
Regulation of Gastric Secretion and Motility
- The cephalic phase of gastric activity begins with the sight, smell, taste, or thought of food
- The gastric phase begins when food enters the stomach
- Stretch receptors and chemoreceptors in the stomach trigger the flow of gastric juice and peristalsis
- The intestinal phase reflexes inhibit gastric activity
Hormonal Regulation of Gastric Secretion
- Acidic chyme entering the duodenum stimulates the release of a hormone from the S cells of the small intestinal crypts of Lieberkühn
