sensory receptors which receive information from the outside environment. The sensory receptors of the skin are concerned with at least five different senses: pain‚ heat‚ cold‚ touch‚ and pressure. The five are usually grouped together as the single sense of touch in the classification of the five senses of the whole human body. The sensory receptors vary greatly in terms of structure. For example‚ while pain receptors are simply unmyelinated terminal branches of neurons‚ touch receptors form neuronal

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3. List the functions for the following parts of the intrinsic conduction system: a. SA node _sets the pace for the

Test 01 - Introduction Receptor cells use chemical transmitters to communicate with relay cells or afferent nerve fibers. In all sensory systems‚ accessory structures modify‚ in some way‚ the stimulus going to the receptor surface. Receptors are electrically polarized cells and therefore have a resting membrane potential. Stimuli produce‚ in the appropriate receptors‚ a change in the electrical properties that is known as the receptor or generator potential. The two ways in which sensory stimuli

Teleanu and Constantinescu (2014) suggest using short acting alpha and beta blocking agents‚ such as labetalol‚ or vasodilators like hydralazine. Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors and calcium channel blockers are also appropriate choices for blood pressure management in this cohort. Venous vasodilators should not be used‚ for they will increase intracranial pressure. Increased intracranial pressures

Chapter 5 Notes * Dopamine and the related substances norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EPI) comprise a small but important group of neurotransmitters and hormones called catecholamines. * Catecholamine contains two chemical similarities: a core structure of catechol and a nitrogen-containing group called an amine. The catecholamines‚ in turn‚ belong to a wider group of transmitter called either monoamines (transmitters that possess one amine group) or biogenic amines * EPI – adrenergic

I. PYELONEPHRITIS It is particular type of upper urinary tract infection (UTI) in which the renal tissue becomes inflamed due to the prolonged presence of a pathogen. The infectious microbe can be either viral or bacterial in origin‚ but is most commonly caused by Escherichia coli. The bacterium generally originates in the urethra‚ spreads to the bladder and up through the urethras‚ and finally impacts one or both of the kidneys. Pathophysiology One or both kidneys may be involved. The infection

You notify the physician or rapid response team in early clinical changes in condition that occur in most patients for up to 48 hours before a code blue.

Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies including mediating vision‚ hearing‚ taste‚ touch‚ and more. 2 examples are the baroreceptor‚a nerve ending that is sensitive to changes in blood pressure‚ and a photoreceptor which is a specialized neuron able to detect and react to light.
