What is apical thrust?
Apical thrust is a geological term that refers to the phenomenon where a fold or thrust fault in the Earth's crust moves in a direction towards the Earth's surface due to tectonic compression. It commonly occurs in mountain-building processes where rocks are pushed upwards and outwards.
What is an apical impulse?
It is a brief early systolic outward thrust , followed by late systolic retraction felt by the palpating finger when the LV contracts and rotates , the LV apex and the adjacent interventricular septum hits against the chest wall. It is usually felt at the 5th left intercostal space just inside the mid clavicular line , lasting less than 30% of systole and occupying less than 3 square cms area.

What hormone is responsible for apical dominance?
The hormone responsible for apical dominance in plants is auxin. Auxin is produced primarily in the shoot apical meristem and it inhibits the growth of lateral buds, promoting the dominance of the apical meristem in controlling the plant's growth.
What causes apical dominance?
Apical buds are those located at the end of stems; lateral buds are located in the leaf axils along the length of the stems. Apical dominance occurs when a branch tends to get longer and longer without sending off branching shoots. This occurs because of a substance called auxin which is produced in the apical buds and which inhibits growth of stems from the lateral buds.
How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?
The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap
What normal variation may affect the location of the apical pulse?
Pregnancy. The enlarged uterus will shift the apex of the heart.
Which normal variation may effect the location of the apical pulse?
Aging, and also the pulse is found under the 4th rib in babies instead of the 5th
An important landmark when taking the apical pulse before administering cardiac drugs is the?
point of maximum impulse (PMI)
Why should you stand on right side of patient?
It makes parts of the exam easier and more accurate such as assessment of JVD and apical impulse.
What are the locations of pulses?
the following Pulse location are? 1. Apical pulse 2. Radial pulse 3. Brachial pulse 4. Apical-radial pulse
Where to palpate an apical impulse?
The apical impulse, also known as the point of maximal impulse (PMI), is typically palpated at the fifth intercostal space, just medial to the midclavicular line on the left side of the chest. To locate it, find the clavicle, move down to the fifth rib, and slide your fingers to the left side of the chest. In some patients, particularly those with a larger chest or certain conditions, the PMI may be located slightly higher or lower, or more lateral.
What equipment is needed to take an apical pulse?
To FEEL for the apical pulse, the "equipment" required is either the fingers and or palm of the hand and a stopwatch or watch with a second hand to count the apical rate. The cardiac apical impulse or point of maximum impulse (PMI) is located along the mid-claviclar line approx. 7-9 cm (about 3") left of the sternum within the 5th intercostal rib cage space just under the left breast. As for LISTENING to the apical pulse, one needs to emply the use of a stethoscope in order to auscultate the heart beat. The chestpiece of the stethoscope should be applied to the bare skin directly upon the PMI where heart sounds are the loudest.

What is the anatomical location? (What part of the body?)
Why do doctors need to stand at the right side of patients while examining them?
It makes parts of the exam easier and more accurate such as assessment of JVD and apical impulse.
