Chemical and Environmental Effects on the Heart Introduction The heart is the centerpiece of the circulatory system‚ its muscular contractions allow for the timely delivery of essential gases and nutrients to virtually all cells of the body. The pressure created by the heart also plays a vital role in eliminating wastes through organs such as the kidney‚ thus the heart delivers and helps maintain nutrient and waste composition throughout the body. The heart‚ like all muscle cells‚ releases ionic

o A key landmark when performing an axillary block is the identification of the axillary arterial pulse as well as the Coracobrachialis and pectoralis major muscle. o In supine position with the patient’s head turned away from the intended injection site‚ the desired arm is abducted 90° angle at the elbow joint. While standing at the upper arm‚ feel for the axillary artery (lateral to the pectoralis muscle) and draw a line along it from the mid-axilla to the lower axilla. This is helpful orientation

airway obstruction and why other compounds such as epinephrine and isoprenaline were neglected over salbutamol. A compound known as epinephrine in adrenaline injection was first addressed for the treatment of asthma in 1903 by Bullowa & Kaplan. Few years later its usage soon came to an end when it had been found to cause unwanted effects on cardiovascular system.

task. I assigned one colleague to assess the vital signs of the patient. In the scenario there were two medications that should be administered to the patient‚ the epinephrine and another anti-histamine drug‚ so I assigned two persons to prepare it. There was a delay in the administration of epinephrine since there were two epinephrine pre-filled automatic injections in the medication box. The person I assigned to it was confused which of the two will be used‚ so she asked me which one will be used

Lab Manual‚ 2017). In this experiment‚ three neurotransmitters are important: serotonin‚ acetylcholine‚ and epinephrine. Serotonin regulates the heart rate in invertebrates and will increase it‚ but in vertebrates it has variable effects (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017). Acetylcholine will also speed up the crayfish’s heart rate‚ but in vertebrates will slow it down (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017). Epinephrine will increase the heart rate in both invertebrates and vertebrates (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017) My hypothesis is

Yes‚ epinephrine is an adrenergic agonist that binds to adrenergic receptors that increase the HR 16.
