Factors Which Affect Myocardial Contractility (p1103) 1. Analyze factors which affect cardiac contractility. In healthy persons, three major factors determine the force of contraction: (1) Changes in the stretching of the ventricular myocardium caused by variations in ventricular volume (preload) (2) Alterations in nervous system input to the ventricles, (3) Adequacy of myocardial oxygen supply a. Evaluate the effects of the catecholamines on the cardiovascular system. Catecholamine E...

N5315 Advanced Pathophysiology Immune System Prerequisite Knowledge Objectives with Advanced Organizers1. Examine the structure and function of the immune system. a. Describe how the normal function of T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte cells differ. Background: P. 225-226 Each individual T or B cell specifically recognizes only one particular antigen, but the sum of the population of lymphocytes specificities may represent millions of foreign antigens. This process is called the generation o...

Genetics Chapter 4 1. Analyze the pathological processes which alter the structure and role of the DNA and RNA molecules. a. Describe the structure and function of the DNA molecule and its clinical significance. PAGE 136-137 i. Four types of nitrogenous bases of DNA include adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine commonly represented as their first letter. Physical structure of DNA is the double- helix model which can be envisioned as a twisting ladder with chemical bonds as its rungs. ...
