What is apical thrust?
In the field of cardiology, the apical thrust, also referred to as apex beat or cardiac impulse, is the beat of the left ventricular contraction. It can be palpitated.
What is the function of a apical bud on a plant?
the bud at the terminal end of the stem is an apical bud
What does apical scarring mean?
What does mild apical lung scarring mean from the imaged lung apices?
What side of epithelial faces the lumen?
Apical Border is the side of an epithelial cell that faces the lumen.
What hormone is responsible for apical dominance?
Apical dominance is a concentration of growth at the tip of a plant shoot, where a terminal bud partially inhibits axillary bud growth by using hormones.
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
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 icd-9 code for LEFT apical mass?
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.
Can primary growth occur at both the apical and lateral meristems?
The difference between apical meristems and lateral meristems are the location that they sprout buds on plants. Apical buds are present at the top of plants, while lateral buds are present at the base of plants.
What is apical pulse?
apical pulse is actually the heartbeat
Where is the apical wall?
the heart
