When did the delivery of current expected to increase during defibrillation?
delivered current during defibrillation is expected to increase with which of the following?
How surge current is produced in a capacitor input filter?
Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.
Core balance current transformer?
whats a core balance current transformer? Core Balance CTs are special CTs used to detect Earth faults & usually used for Restricted Earth Fault Protection. It is a ring type CT through which the cables carrying current of all the three phases (R,Y & B) are passed through. (In a 3phase 3 wire system) Under normal operating conditions, summation of current through the three phases shall be equal to zero. In event of a fault, the summation of the current shall no longer remain zero (zero sequence current shall flow during earth fault) & thus the fault can be detected.
Why is copper loss negligible during open circuit test?
Copper losses are energy losses from the windings, due to the currents passing through them. During an open-circuit test, there is no secondary current (so no secondary copper losses) and the primary current is very low (so the primary copper losses are minimum).
What is purpose of demagnetizing test during current transformer test?
The residual magnetisation present in the current transformer coils may cause the errors during measurement of high currents. So that it is necessary to check that.
What channels are open during depolarization and during repolarization?
During depolarization Na channels are open During repolarization K channels are open
What is atrial repolarization indicated by?
The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.
What is occurring when a muscle cell cannot be stimulated during the absolute refractory period?
Repolarization
During which portion of the cardiac cycle is it possible to induce extra systole?
Extrasystole is an extra ventricular systole that happens during the begging of relaxation (repolarization). Since the cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization, any stimulus upon the repolarization period created an increased ventricular contraction or which is also called extrasystole but not a new contraction.
During an action potential repolarization occurs as a result of?
potassium ions diffusion to the outside of the cell membrain,
Why do not action potentials occur during the repolarization phase?
It has to do with what types of channels are open during this phase. In the repolarization phase the number of potassium channels are increased and the number of sodium channels are decreased. This allows for action potentials to not occur. Otherwise, the action potentials would add up and produce tetany.
What happens during the t wave in the heart?
During the T-wave the ventricles are repolarizing, preparing for the next beat.
Does an electric current run through your body during foot detox?
Yes, during the ionic foot detoxication electric current runs through the body of the given patient. The electric current is however very low to cause harm to the body of the patient.
Why is the ECG event indicating atrial repolarization not seen in an ECG?
It is on page 374 of your lab book assuming this is the same question that came out Lab 28 in the Ninth Edition of Seeley's Anatomy & Physiology. The atrial repolarization occurs during ventricualr depolarization and is masked by the larger QRS complex. I actually did my homework :)
What is the absolute refractory period?
Absolute Refractory Period:It is the interval during which a second action potential absolutely cannot be initiated, no matter how large a stimulus is applied.ORAfter repolarization there is a period during which a second action potential cannot be initiated, no matter how large a stimulus current is applied to the neuron. This is called the absolute refractory period, and it is followed by a relative refractory period, during which another action potential can be generated
Period during which potassium ions diffuse out of the neuron due to a change in membrane permeability?
Membrane potential - a nerve cell set and ready to fire;"The wave of reverse polarity" i.e. sodium versus potassium trans-cell-membrane ion passaging - a nerve cell firing; andRecharge period - the regeneration time.
