Endocrine Anatomy and Physiology Analyze the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine system: 1. Examine the production and action of hormones produced by the thyroid, pancreas, and adrenal glands. • Thyroid: ▪ T4 (90%): 1. Released by thyroid gland  converted to T3 inside of cell prior to entering nucleus ▪ T3 (10%): 1. more potent, actions are short-lived, present in blood in much smaller amounts than T4 2. stimulates production of the contractile protein a-myosin heavy chain i...

1st degree AV Nodal Block - the AV node is having difficulty getting the action potentials on through to the rest of the conduction system. See prolonged PR intervals 2nd degree AV Nodal Block - there is even more difficulty than in first degree. 3rd degree AV Nodal Block - even more serious than second degree. See many Ps without QRS complexes, AP not getting through at all A bands - contain mainly thick filaments Abstract memory - Type of Explicit memory, Fact memory ( learning facts, li...
