A 50-year-old female presents to the clinic with complaints of intermittent palpitations that have been occurring for the past month. She describes the palpitations as a “fluttering” or “racing” sensation in her chest, lasting for 1-2 minutes at a time, occurring primarily at rest or during times of increased stress. She denies chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Her medical history includes hypertension, obesity, and a 15-pack-year smoking history. She takes an ACE inhibitor for her hypertension and uses over-the-counter caffeine-containing products regularly. Her family history is significant for heart disease, with her father having a myocardial infarction at age 55. On examination, her blood pressure is 135/85 mmHg, heart rate is 78 bpm, and her physical exam is otherwise unremarkable. Which is most likely contributing to this patient’s palpitations?

Classify the following Arterial Blood Gas: pH = 7.20 PaCO2 = 60 mmHg PaO2 = 75 mmHg HCO3 = 25 mEq/L SaO2 = 90 %

Which of the following has the most powerful effect on the central chemoreceptors?

According to Fick’s law, the rate of gas diffusion is:

When the blood pH decreases, the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the:

One of the Most radiosensitive tissues in the body is _____ tissue.

Two curves on a highway have the same radii R = 1 . 20 × 10 2   m . However, one is unbanked (Fig. 3.1) and the other is banked at an angle θ (Fig. 3.2). A car of mass 2 . 00 × 10 2   k g  can safely travel along the unbanked curve at a maximum speed v 0 = 25 . 0   m s , (a) what is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road? (b) If the banked curve is frictionless and the car can negotiate it at the same maximum speed v 0 = 25 . 0   m s , what is the angle θ  of the banked curve? If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is half the μ s found in (a) and the angle θ is the same as the banked angle found in (b), (c) what is the maximum speed of the car for it to travel on the banked curve safely (d) what is the minimum speed of the car so that it would travel on the banked curve without sliding down? If the minimum speed of the car on a banked road with the coefficient of static friction half the μ s found in (a) is  v 0 = 25 . 0   m s , (e) what is the angle θ  of the banked curve? (Hint: sin 90 ° + θ = cos θ , cos 90 ° + θ = – sin θ , sin 180 ° + θ = – sin θ , cos 180 ° + θ = – cos θ ) fig3_q19.jpg
