Anatomy & Physiology 2 Lab, Final Quiz Questions

Questions are short answer or identification; some may require calculations

Blood Pressure
1.	Define systolic blood pressure.
2.	Given a blood pressure of 110/80, what is the mean arterial pressure?
3.	Assuming a stroke volume output of 60 ml at rest that increases by 15% after exercise, and a heart rate of 72 at rest and 120 following exercise, calculate the cardiac output standing at rest and immediately after exercise.
4.	Define hypertension.
5.	What is correct spelling of the device you used to measure blood pressure?
6.	The specific gravity of mercury 13.6 times that of water. If your blood pressure were 100/50 mm Hg, what would that be in cm H20?
7.	Which is the better indicator of the diastolic pressure reading:  Korotkow Phase 2 or Korotkow Phase 4?
8.	After exercise, did the mean arterial blood pressure increase? If so, was this due to an increase in systolic or diastolic pressure? Go to top
Electrocardiogram
1.	In ECG lead II, where is the positive electrode placed?
2.	You can calculate your heart rate in two ways. First, you could simply count the number of pulses for a given time period and adjust that to the number of pulses per minute. Or, you could measure the cycle time of the cardiac cycle. If you measure the cycle time to be 0.625 sec, what is the heart rate?
3.	What should happen to the heart rate during the Valsalva maneuver or a vagal massage?
4.	What does the T-wave of the ECG represent?
5.	What does isoelectric mean?
6.	Where is the ground electrode placed in leads I–III? Go to top
Blood
1.	Calculate the number of RBCs that must be produced each second to keep the population constant at approximately 6×106 per mm3? Necessary fact:  The average lifespan of an RBC is 120 days.
2.	Using the ABO-Rh blood typing system, list the possible phenotypes.
3.	What blood-group antibodies would be circulating in the blood of a nulliparous A- female? The same woman after giving birth to an Rh+ child?
4.	What are the possible genotypes of an individual with B+ blood type?
5.	If you are healthy and have anti-B antibodies and anti-Rh IgG molecules circulating in your plasma, what is your blood type?
6.	Using Punnet squares, determine the probability of O- offspring from the mating of an A+ (phenotype) female with a B+ (phenotype) male Go to top
Thoracic Anatomy
	In addition to the indicated structures, identify the major blood vessels, thymus (if present), and diaphragm.
