“You can distinguish between Left Bundle Branch Block and Right Bundle Branch Block simply by looking at the QRS morphology in V1 and V6.

If the QRS looks like W in V1 and M in V6 it is LBBB. (WiLLiaM)

Splanchnology - The study or discourse of the viscera (guts) - Greek: Splanchn(o), “viscera”.

Stomach (organ) - From Latin stomachus, “throat, gullet, stomach” [also “pride, indignation”, since those emotions were believed to arise from the stomach]. Derived from Greek stomachos, “throat, stomach”, literally an extension of stoma, “mouth, opening” Pertaining to the stomach - Gastr(o)-, Ventr(o)- Abdomen - “Belly fat”, from Latin abdomen, meaning, well, what it does today. Ultimate origin of the word is unknown. Pertaining to the abdomen - Laparo-, Abdomin(o)-, Ventr(o)-

Digestion - From Latin dis-, “apart”, gerere, “to carry”, “to assimilate food in the bowels” Pertaining to digestion - -pepsia

Lungs - From Old English lungen, from Proto-Germanic *lungw-, literally “the light organ”, legwh-, “not heavy, having little weight”. Probably from the fact that lungs float when put in water (and other organs do not). Pertaining to the lungs - Pulmo-, Pneumo-

Liver - From Proto-Indo-European (PIE) *liep-, “to stick, adhere, fat” Pertaining to the liver - Hepat(o)-, Hepatic, Jecor- (uncommon)

Pancreas - From Greek pankreas, “sweetbread”, from pan-, “all”, and -kreas, “flesh”, presumably from the fleshy, uniform nature of the pancreas. Pertaining to the pancreas - Pancrea-

Kidney - From Middle English kidenere, origin unknown. Possibly from cwið , “womb”, and ey, “egg”, for its shape. Pertaining to the kidney - Nephro-, Ren(o)-

Intestines - From the Latin intestina, “inward, intestine”, from intus, “within, on the inside”. [Old English for the organ was hropp, “rope”] Pertaining to the intestines - [Small intestine] Enter(o)-, Duoden-, Jejeun(o)- [Large intestine/Colon] Col(o)-, Sigmoid-

Spleen - From Greek splen, “the milt, spleen”. From PIE *splegh-, “milt” [Note: “Milt” - fish sperm - got its name from the Proto-Germanic name for spleen, but the word once meant “guts” in general] Pertaining to the spleen - Splen(o)-

Gall bladder - Gall from Old English galla, “gall, bile”, from PIE root *ghel- “yellowish green, gold”. Bladder origin the same as urinary bladder.  Pertaining to the gall bladder - Cholecysto-, [Bile] Chol(e)-

Bladder - From Old English bledre, “urinary bladder, cystic pimple”, from PIE root *bhle-, “to blow” [same root as “blast”!] Pertaining to the bladder - Vesic(o)-, Cyst(o)-

Hi all! Grace here.

I am not yet studying Anatomy and probably won’t until next year, but I decided to look up sources relating to Anatomy and gather them here for future reference! I will be adding more to it as I find more. If you are currently studying Anatomy or already have, please let me know if there were sources you are using/did use that were/are helpful so I can add them! :)

Someone asked me about ventilators. So here is my quick guide. 

First there are 2 types of ventilator modes. Volume control & pressure control. Of the volume control there is Assist Control, where a patient gets a prescribed volume for a set rate, and anything they breathe over the ventilator will also get the prescribed volume. There is also, SIMV. Here, the patient will get the prescribed volume for a set rate, but will pull their own volume if they breath over the ventilator. In pressure control, there is a prescribed peak inspiratory pressure, not a volume. 

After you learn what mode your ventilator is, next look at the rate. This is the amount of breaths the ventilator will deliver each minute. Also, pay attention to how many breaths the patient actually breathes. Let’s look at a patient who is prescribed 12 for their respiratory rate. If they are only breathing 12, then the patient is 1:1 with the vent (one to one). If they are breathing, let’s say, 20 – they are breathing over the vent.

Tidal Volume is the amount of air introduced for each breath. For volume control modes, this will be prescribed. The average TV for a young healthy adult is 500mL. So, when looking for optimum TV – look around that number.

PEEP. Positive end expiratory pressure. This is pressure which is applied to continuously keep the alveoli (the little grape like clusters where gas exchange occurs) open continuously. 

FiO2 is the amount of oxygen the ventilator will deliver. Room air is 21%, so if your patient is on 100% oxygen – they are sick!

Hey everyone!

Digitalis and other cardiac glycosides are known to cause an AV nodal delay.

Then why does too much Digoxin result in some arrhythmias that are due to increased automaticity?

Brady arrhythmias are explainable. But why tachy arrhythmias?

You see, cardiac glycosides reversibly inhibit the sodium-potassium-ATPase, causing an increase in intracellular sodium and a decrease in intracellular potassium. The increase in intracellular sodium prevents the sodium-calcium antiporter from expelling calcium from the myocyte, which increases intracellular calcium. The net increase in intracellular calcium augments inotropy.

Excessive intracellular calcium may cause delayed after-depolarizations, which may in turn lead to premature contractions and trigger arrhythmias. Cardiac glycosides shorten repolarization of the atria and ventricles, decreasing the refractory period of the myocardium, thereby increasing automaticity and the risk for arrhythmias.

That’s all!
