2.Describe the effects of arterial PC02-,[H+]-and P02-on alveolar ventilation and their mechanisms. 3.What is glomerular filtration rate?Please list the factors affecting glomerular filtration. 4.What are the endocrinologic causes of dwarfism and cretinism,and how does each lead to short stature? IV.CASE (10%) A 63-year-old man suddenly felt a crushing pain beneath his sternum.He became weak and began to sweat profusely.He called his physician,who advised him to go to the hospital immediately by ambulance.The tests made at the hospital confirmed his physician's belief that the patient had suffered a "heart attack";that is,a major coronary artery had suddenly become occluded. 1.When a coronary artery is occluded,the K+concentration rises in the interstitial fluid of the ischemic region (i.e.,the region deprived of its blood supply)of the ventricular myocardium.What effect does the elevated K+ concentration in the interstitial fluid have on the resting membrane potential of the myocardial cells in the ischemic zone? 2.What effect does the change in resting membrane potential have on the propagation of the cardiac impulse?Why? Soon after the patient arrived at the hospital,the activity in the vagus nerve fibers to the heart increased reflexly. 3.What electrophysiologic effects would increased vagal activity have on the automatic cells in the sinoatrial node? 4.What electrophysiologic effects would increased vagal activity have on the conduction fibers in the atrioventricular node? About 1 hour after the coronary artery became occluded,conduction in the bundle of His ceased abruptly.The conduction block persisted for several days. 5.At approximately what rates would the atria and ventricles beat after the His bundles had been completely blocked?Where do the impulses originate that
