PhysioEX notes Autorhythmicity- heart’s ability to trigger its own contractions Phase O- a lot like depolarization in neuronal action potentials. Sodium channels open‚ increase of sodium INTO cell. Phase 1- sodium channels close‚ potassium channels close‚ decrease in potassium and sodium. Calcium channels open‚ increase of calcium into cell. Phase 2- Plateau phase‚ membrane still depolarized (contract). Potassium channels closed‚ L-type calcium channels stay open. Lasts 0.2 seconds/200

Respiratory System Mechanics Simulation Lab Activity 1: MRV __7500__ ml/min =500 tv x 15bmp Does expiratory reserve volume include tidal volume? Explain. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) does not include tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be expelled after a normal tidal exhalation. This means that tidal volume is not included in the ERV measurement. Activity 2: FEV1‚ as % of VC Radius FEV1 Vital Capacity FEV1% 5.00 3541 4791 73.90 4.50
