department‚ an ECG and cardiac enzymes were obtained. The cardiac monitor showed sinus tachycardia with occasional premature ventricular complexes. K.R. was treated with 2 L nasal oxygen‚ tissue plasminogen activator‚ sublingual nitroglycerin‚ and IV morphine sulfate. When he was pain free‚ he was transferred to the cardiac unit for monitoring. Discussion Questions 1. What changes in “cardiac enzymes” would be consistent with a diagnosis of MI? Troponins(I and T specific to cardiac muscle cells)‚ elevated

Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through

There are three types of muscle skeletal which are voluntary‚ smooth muscle which are involuntary and cardiac muscle. Muscle is made up of protein filaments‚ myosin and actin. These filaments slide past each other to produce a contraction which changes both the length and shape of the cell. The primary function of the muscle is to produce both movement and force. Skeletal muscle is composed of bundles of muscle fibres containing myofibrils of thick and thin filaments (myosin and actin). Skeletal

A do-not-resuscitate order is one that is “given by a physician indicating that in the event of a cardiac or respiratory arrest “no” resuscitative measures should be used to revive the patient” (Pozgar & Santucci‚ 2010‚ pg. 132). The physician can write the do-not-resuscitate order at the request of the family‚ appointed caregiver‚ or from information
