#1
Front (Question)

CO2 scrubber

Back (Answer)

CO2 + H2O →H+ + HCO3- system has NaOH H+ + HCO3- +NaOH → H2O + NaHCO3 system has Ca(OH)2 NaHCO3 + Ca(OH)2 → NaOH + CaCO3 + H2O *when CaCO3 is consumed, pH is acidic

#2
Front (Question)

How does vaporizer control for temp changes and why?

Back (Answer)

It has two metal pieces that expand and shring with temp changes, moving a thing that allows varying amounts of O2 through, controlling how much O2 goes by the gas. *increased temp Increases VP which allows the O2 going by the gas to pick up more gas

#3
Front (Question)

second gas effect

Back (Answer)

when a large volume of N2O is taken into bloodstream faster than the other gases, the concentration of the remaining gases increases

#4
Front (Question)

microshock to heart

Back (Answer)

smaller current than 0.1 mA is needed to cause V-fib

#5
Front (Question)

ground fault interrupter

Back (Answer)

shuts off electrical current when it senses it going along the incorrect path *it senses a different current coming in then went out

#6
Front (Question)

Isolation power system

Back (Answer)

• ungrounded electrical service • requires two line to ground faults to affect function of equipment or shock anybody

#7
Front (Question)

line isolation monitor

Back (Answer)

continually checking for leakage current from each phase conductor *this is the third year med student

#8
Front (Question)

Nernst Equation

Back (Answer)

used to calculate cell potential Veq = (61/Z) * log (Kout/Kin) mV

#9
Front (Question)

membrane potential

Back (Answer)

the difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of a cell

#10
Front (Question)

depolarization

Back (Answer)

the interior voltage of a cell becoming less negative

#11
Front (Question)

repolarization

Back (Answer)

the interior of a cell becoming more negative

#12
Front (Question)

action potential

Back (Answer)

when the membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls *for an action potential to happen, the membrane potential must depolarize to the critical threshold

#13
Front (Question)

SA node

Back (Answer)

primary pacemaker of the heart

#14
Front (Question)

steps in action potential

Back (Answer)

• Trigger raises membrane potential over threshold • Na+ channels open, Na comes in, membrane potential rises • Na channels close, K channels open • K leaves cells, membrane potential falls, below resting • K channels close, leaving only “leak” channels

#15
Front (Question)

contractile myocytes

Back (Answer)

• resting membrane potential at -90 mV • depolarize only when stimulated, usually by neighboring myosite.
