Post the actual questions you need help on, e.g. type them out, one per topic.

Activity 1 (Recording Baseline Frog Heart Activity)

Question 2. Record the number of ventricular contractions per minute
displayed in the Heart Rate window under the oscilloscope.
__________________ bpm (beats per minute)

(Investigating the Refractory Period
of Cardiac Muscle)

3. On the basis of the recording, during which portion of the
cardiac cycle was it possible to induce an extrasystole?

4. Electrical shocks will be delivered to the muscle at a
rate of 20 stimuli/sec. What is the result?

Considering the function of the heart, why is it important that the heart muscle cannot be tetanized?

What change occurred with the cold (5°C) Ringer’s solution?
Compare to the baseline value recorded in Activity 1.

Did this change match your prediction? _________________

What is the effect of atropine on the heart?

Atropine is a drug that blocks the effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, liberated by the parasympathetic nerve endings. Do your results accurately reflect this effect of atropine?

Are pilocarpine and atropine agonists or antagonists with respect to each other in their effects on heart activity?

Describe what happened to the recording.

Describe your observations of the rhythm of the heartbeat.

hi,

A C T I V I T Y 4
(Assessing the Effect of Temperature)

What change occurred with the cold (5°C) Ringer’s solution?
Compare to the baseline value recorded in Activity 1.

Did this change match your prediction?
A:____With the cold (5°C) Ringer’s solution the heart rate lowered to 50BPM from the baseline value of Heart rate 60BPM in activity 1_yes this change matched my prediction that at low temperature the metabolic rate decreases.____________

 A C T I V I T Y 5
(Assessing the Effect of Pilocarpine)

___45_____bpm

A:Pilocarpine a Pilocarpine is a parasympathomimetic alkaloid obtained from the leaves of tropical American shrubs from the genus Pilocarpus which simulates the parasympathetic Nervous system’s Vagus nerve which in turn slows down the heart rate.

What happened when the heart was bathed in the pilocarpine solution?
 The heart rate decreased gradually.
A C T I V I T Y 6
(Assessing the Effect of Atropine)

___70_____bpm

What is the effect of atropine on the heart?
A:Increases the heart rate.

Atropine is a drug that blocks the effect of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, liberated by the parasympathetic nerve endings. Do your results accurately reflect this effect of atropine?
A:Yes, increase in the heart rate shows us that the vagus nerve is not acting on the heart.

Are pilocarpine and atropine agonists or antagonists with respect to each other in their effects on heart activity?
A:pilocarpine- agonists(causes the nerv system to reac t)
Atropine- antagonists(blocks the action of the agonist i.e the nerv system)
A C T I V I T Y 7
(Assessing the Effect of Epinephrine)

_____79___bpm

4.  What happened when the heart was bathed in the epinephrine solution?
A:The heart rate increased by 20BPM.
Which division of the autonomic nervous system does its effect imitate?
A:Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter.[1] It increases heart rate, constricts blood vessels and participates in the  response of the sympathetic nervous system

A C T I V I T Y 8
(Assessing the Effect of Digitalis)

4. ___41_______bpm

What is the effect of digitalis on the heart?
A : Digitalis (a drug)decreased the heart rate.
A C T I V I T Y 9
(Assessing the Effect of Various Ions)

6.
Effect of Ca2+:
Does the heart rate stabilize and remain stable?
A: No, the heart rate does not remain stable.
Describe your observations of the rhythm of the heartbeat.
A: The rhythm is distorted and not regular, it alternates between a normal contraction’s and an extended relaxation period.

Effect of Na+:
Does the heart rate stabilize and remain stable?
A:no.

Describe your observations of the rhythm of the heartbeat
A: The rhythm of the heart is slowed down and appears to be laggy.
Effect of K+:
Describe what happened to the recording.
A: There was no atrial systole, only ventricular systole was present.
Describe your observations of the rhythm of the heartbeat.
A: There was not any rhythm at all.

not sure about the last two.
