[RS] Q.5) Pressure related to respiration:


ans.

a)    Intrapleural pressure
b)    Alveolar pressure (Intrapulmonary pressure)
c)    Transpulmonary pressure

a)Intrapleural pressure:
·  It is the pressure of the fluid in between two layers of pleura.
·  It requires to prevent lungs collapse.
·  It is always negative due to continual absorption of fluid from the space into the capillaries. This absorption creates a partial vacuum and produce a negative

Respiration:
                   It is a physiological process which means the transport of O2 from the atmosphere to cell of the body for oxidation and elimination of CO2 and other volatile metabolic end products from the cell to atmosphere.

[CVS] Q.11) What is AV nodal delay? Give its causes and importance:

Ans.
Definition: AV node is responsible for the delay in transmission of impulse generated in SA node. This delay in impulse transmission is called AV nodal delay. It is about 0.09 second.
Causes:
  1. Junctional fibers of AV node are very small in size.
  2. Resting membrane potentials of these fibers are much negative than the normal resting membrane potential of cardiac muscle.
  3. Very few gap junctions connect the successive fibers in the pathway, so that there is great resistance to the conduction of excitatory ions from one fiber to the next.
  4. Prolonged refractory period of AV node.

Importance:
For this delay, the atria get time to empty their content (blood) into the ventricles before ventricular contraction begins.

[CVS] Q.10) Why AV node is called reserve pacemaker of the heart?

Ans.
When SA node fails to generates impulse then AV node become the pace maker of the heart and generates impulse 40-60 impulse/min. So, AV node is called the reserve pacemaker of the heart.

[CVS] Q.9) Why SA node is called pacemaker of the heart?
