- MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3x_________ pressure. _______ pressure is equivalent to Diastolic - systolic pressure. therefore MAP will be between systolic and diastolic pressure, but closer to diastolic.

- (abb.) ____ = CO x TPR
- the brain receives 10% of cardiac output. true or false?
- ____________ heart failure (as in franks case) occurs when there is a bad preload (increased EDV without increase in cardiac output) --> eg left ventricular AV valve defect --> backup of blood in pulmonary circuit.

- in cardiac muscle, action potential frequency is determined by __ node, and ALL fibres contract. so how do we increase the force of contraction?
- normal length of the cardiac cells are less than the _______ length.
- this catecholamine binds to the B-adrenergic receptor on cardiac muscle cells --> activates adenylate cyclase --> increases cAMP --> phosphorylates VOCC --> increases amount of Ca moving into cell --> increases release from SR --> over time more Ca stored in SR --> increased CB cycling and force.
