Which neurotransmitter is affected when anticholinergics medications are administered? [BLANK-1]

Show how the drug listed below could lower blood pressure by placing in order the variables shown below.  Keep the regulation of blood pressure diagram in mind and guide me step-by-step through the process. Start low on the diagram for your first number and only write numbers to save time.  Furosemide (Lasix) – A diuretic (a substance that promotes the excretion of urine).      1. Decreased SV      2. Decreased venous return      3. Decreased blood volume      4. Decreased salt and water      5. Decreased MAP      6. Decreased balance between ISF and blood      7. Decreased CO      8. Decreased EDV

In which vessels is the tunica media largest? ______

The ______ spread throughout the ventricles to conduct action potentials directly to the ventricular myocardial cells.

Identify three ways in which a ventricular myocardial action potential differs from a SA Nodal action potential.  For each of the three ways, make sure you state the difference between the two.
