THEME: "PRACTICAL SKILLS IN PHYSIOLOGY EXCITABLE STRUCTURES".
Practical work #1: “The preparations for close frog’s organs”
Materials and equipments: small and large scissors, anatomic pincers, scalpel, probe, stand,
cotton wool, physiological solution, preparing small planks, serviettes, tray, electrostimulator
with electrodes, a research object is a frog.
To study the physiology of frog muscle and nerve, the frog must be killed but its tissues kept alive. This can
be accomplished by destroying or pithing the frog’s central nervous system. The frog is clinically dead (clinical
death is defined as the irreversible loss of higher brain function), but its muscles and peripheral nerves will continue
to function as long as their cells remain alive. Under the proper conditions, this state can be prolonged for several
hours.
The technique involves grasping the frog securely with one hand and flexing its head forward so that the
base of the skull can be felt with the fingers of the other hand. Then perform these steps:
Procedure:
1. Force one blade of a pair of sharp scissors into the frog’s mouth as shown in figure 1.
2. Quickly decapitate the frog by cutting behind its eyes. It should be understood that the
frog is dead as soon as its brain has been severed from its spinal cord (fig 2.).
3. Insert a probe down into the exposed spinal cord as described above to destroy the frog’s
spinal reflexes (fig. 3).

Practical work #4 “A study of the bioelectric phenomena in living tissues. The 1st Galvani’s
experiment.”
In excitable tissues, the bioelectric phenomena can be observed by both biological and physical methods.
Although the biological method in our time lost the value as a research method, for a physiologist it will always be
interesting due to a prominent role which it played in history of opening of the bioelectric phenomena. At the
biological method by Galvani was the first to lead to the existence of «animal electricity» and the same time begin a
new direction in physiology – studies about electric processes in an organism. Essence of the first experience of
Galvani shows that when touched with bimetallic pincers a preparation of gastrocnemius muscle, there is reduction
of muscles. The current which arises between two heterogeneous metals, copper and iron, is the reason of irritation
of the muscle.
Materials and equipments: set of preparing tools (anatomic pincers, small scissors, large
scissors, scalpel, probe), physiological solution, preparing small planks, serviettes, cotton wool,
tray, electrostimulator, with electrodes, bimetal pincers with copper and zinc ends, a research
object is a frog.
Procedure:
1. Prepare the spinal frog.
2. Cut the column in the middle of the body
3. Remove the skin from preparation

Practical work #5: The 2nd Galvani’s experiment
This experiment of Galvani consisted of the reduction of muscles of frogs foot was reproduced without
participation of a metal, by throwing of preparation of sciatic nerve on the damaged area of thigh. Difference of
potentials between an external surface of a muscle and the inside surface, which exists at rest, expressly shows up
when a muscle is damaged. Potential which arises up between unharmed and damaged areas is called «potential of
damage». When a nerve gets on the damaged electronegative area of muscle, there is shorting of chain, in which
positive pole (the unharmed surface of muscle) and the area of nerve which compresses with it take part. Thus in the
second experiment of Galvani reason of excitation of nerve is an irritating action of current which arises directly in
tissues.
Between an external surface of a muscle and the inside surface in a state of rest, is a difference potential,
which brightly shows up at a damage. Potential which arises between the damaged and unharmed areas of a muscle,
«potential of damage» can be reason of excitation a nerve.
Procedure:
1. Cut the frog along on the middle line of spine (fig. 2).
2. Prepare the rheoscopical paw (pad) on one leg of the frog.
3. Cut across the hip muscle of the other leg of the frog (fig. 3).

Practical work #6: “An exposure of electric current in experiment with the second
reduction (Experiment of Matteuchi).”
Matteuchi showed that it is possible to cause reduction of muscles of nerve-muscular preparation, by

putting a nerve to the muscles of the second preparation, which grow short. This experiment demonstrates that in a
muscle which grows short there are considerable currents, which can be utilized in the quality of an irritant for the
nerve of the second preparation. These currents are called «currents of action».
Procedure:
1. To prepare a rheoscopic paw from the second half of frog.
2. Place the buttock’s nerve of the 1st part on the electrodes.
3. Place the buttock’s nerve of the 2nd part along the shin muscle of the 1st part.

Practical work #5 “Research of clinically important reflexes."
Materials and equipments: neurological hammers.
Procedure:
In this exercise, a number of reflex arcs will be tested that are initiated by distinctive stretch receptors within
muscles. These receptors, called muscle spindles, are embedded within the connective tissue of the muscle and
consist of specialized thin muscle fibers (intrafusal fibers) that are innervated by sensory neurons. The intrafusal
fibers are arranged in parallel with the normal muscle cells (extrafusal fibers), so that stretch of the muscle also
places tension on the intrafusal fibers. Located within the spindles, the intrafusal fibers respond to the tension by
causing the stimulation (depolarization) of the sensory neuron. The sensory neuron arising from the intrafusal fiber
synapses with the motor neuron in the spinal cord that, in turn, innervates the extrafusal fibers. The resultant
contraction of the extrafusal fibers of the muscle releases tension on the intrafusal fibers and decreases stimulation
of the stretch receptors. In a typical clinical examination, this reflex is elicited by striking the muscle tendon with a
rubber mallet, creating a momentary stretch. When the extrafusal muscle fibers contract during the stretch reflex,
they produce a short, rapid movement of the limb (the jerk). This is very obvious for the kneejerk reflex, but can be
quite subtle for the biceps- and triceps-jerk reflexes. Use of the flexicomp allows the limb movement to be seen as a
tracing on the computer screen.
1. Procedure for knee-jerk reflex – tests femoral nerve
1. Allow the subject to sit comfortably with his or her legs

free.
2. Strike the ligament portion of the patellar tendon just below

the patella (kneecap), and observe the resulting contraction
of the quadriceps muscles and extension of the lower leg.
2. Procedure for ankle-jerk reflex – tests medial popliteal nerve
4. Have the subject kneel on a chair with his or her back to

you, and with feet (shoes and socks off) projecting over
the edge.
2. Strike the Achilles (calcaneal) tendon at the level of the

ankle and observe the resulting plantar extension of the
foot.
3. Procedure for biceps-jerk reflex – tests musculocutaneous nerve

1. With the subject’s arm relaxed but fully extended on
the
desk, gently press his or her biceps tendon in the
antecubital fossa with your thumb or forefinger and
strike
this finger with the mallet.
2. If this procedure is performed correctly, the biceps

muscle will twitch but usually will not contract
strongly enough to produce arm movement.
39
4. Procedure for triceps-jerk reflex – tests radial nerve

1. Have the subject lie on his or her back with the elbow
bent, so that the arm lies loosely across the abdomen.
2. Strike the triceps tendon about 2 inches above the

elbow. If there is no response, repeat this procedure,
striking to either side of the original point.
3. If this procedure is correctly performed, the triceps

muscle will twitch but usually will not contract strongly enough to produce arm movement.
5. A cutaneous reflex: the plantar reflex and Babinski’s sign
The plantar reflex is elicited by cutaneous (skin) receptors of the foot and is one of the most
important neurological tests. In normal individuals, proper stimulation of these receptors located
in the sole of the foot results in the flexion (downward movement) of the great toe, while the
other toes flex and come together. The normal plantar reflex requires the uninterrupted
conduction of nerve impulses along the pyramidal motor tracts, which descend directly from the
cerebral cortex to motor neurons lower in the spinal cord. Damage anywhere along the pyramidal
motor tracts produces a Babinski reflex, or Babinski’s sign, to this stimulation, in which the great
toe extends (moves upward) and the other toes fan laterally. Infants exhibit Babinski’s sign
normally because neural control is not yet fully developed. Abdominal reflex is a superficial
neurologic reflex obtained by firmly stroking the skin of the abdomen around the umbilicus. It
normally results in a briskcontraction of abdominal muscles in which the umbilicus moves
toward the site of the stimulus. This reflex is often lost in diseases of thepyramidal tract and can
also be lost with age or abdominal surgery.
1. Have the subject lie on his or her back with knees

slightly bent, and with the thigh rotated so that
the lateral (outer) side of the foot is resting on the floor
2. Applying firm (but not painful) pressure, draw the
tip blunt probe along the lateral border of the sole,
starting the heel and ending at the base of the big toe.
Observe the response of the toes to this procedure.
40
Results: drawn the reflex arcs investigated reflexes, sign of their components.
Knee-jerk reflex Ankle-jerk reflex
Biceps-jerk reflex Triceps-jerk reflex

41
Plantar reflex Abdominal reflex
Conclusion: What are the receptors, and why arises tendinous reflexes?

Practical work#1: “Determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)”.

At standing of stabilized blood, erythrocytes under power of the gravity are precipitated. Blood is divided
in 2 layers: upper (colorless, transparent) – a plasma; lower (red, opaque) – an erythrocytes. The normal ESR of men
is 2-10 mm / hr., of women - 2-15 mm / hr.
Materials and equipments: Panchenkov’s apparatus, which consists of to the stand with rubber

Practical work #2: "Erythrocyte count."
Erythrocytes are counted with the help of Goryaev’s calculating camera under the microscope. This method
is complicated but regular enough (permissible variation is not up to 2,5%).
The net rate of calculating camera consists of 225 large quadrates, 25 out of them are divided into 16 small
ones.
The side of small quadrate is 1/20 mm, square is 1/400 mm2, the height of camera (the distance between the bottom
and the covering glass) is 1/10 mm. So, the size of the camera upon the small quadrate is 1/4000 mm3 (1/400•1/10).
Blood for the count of the erythrocytes is diluted in special mixing tube (melanger) – capillary pipettes with
the ampoule dilation. There are marks 0,5 and 101 on the mixing tubes. Mark 0,5 shows what part of the mixing
tube takes this column of capillary, filled with blood. This volume takes 1/200 of the all volume of the mixing tube.
So, blood is dissolved in 200 times. Blood can be diluted in 200 times by other methods. For example, put 4 ml of
5% solution of sodium citrate in the test-tube and add 20 ml of blood with micropipette. It is necessarily to wash out
the micropipette three times in this solution, so that all blood will get into the tube.
Normally the amount of erythrocytes of men is 4-5•1012, of women 3,9-4,7•1012.
Materials and equipments: microscope, Goryaev’s camera, covering glass, mixing tube for the
erythrocytes, 3% solution of sodium chloride, 96% alcohol, 2% alcohol solution of iodine, cotton
wool.
Procedure:
1. To prepare Goryaev’s camera for work:
- perform defatting with alcohol and dry the camera and the covering glass;
- lap the covering glass to the camera till the appearance of the Newton’s rings;
- find the net under the large enlargement.
2. Prepare blood for work:
- fill the capillary till the mark of 0,5; clean the opening from blood with the cotton
wool;
- don’t release the blood from the capillary and fill it with 3% solution of sodium
chloride till the mark of 101;
- mix the solution with blood in the ampule of mixing tube (there is a tiny red ball
to ease the mixing process). Blood will be diluted in 200 times.
3. To fill camera with blood:
- blow first two drops of solution out of the capillary on the cotton wool;
- next drops from the ampule solution put in the camera. Put the tip of the melager
on the edge of camera near the covering glass and blow it out accurately. Solution
will go under the covering glass into the camera and will fill it. Wait for 1-2
minutes for erythrocytes to sedimentate on the bottom of the camera.
4. Calculate the amount of the erythrocytes:
- count the amount of erythrocytes in 5 large quadrates of the net diagonally.
Remember Burker’s rule when counting erythrocytes: in small quadrates count
cells, which are inside the quadrate and on its superior and left sides. This will
predict counting erythrocytes twice;
- calculate the amount of erythrocytes in 1 mkl of blood by formula:
E  a * 4000 * 200  / 1 * 5 *16
Where E – is the quantity of erythrocytes in 1 mkl;

a – the amount of erythrocytes in 5 large quadrates of net;
5 – the amount of large quadrates;
16 – the amount of small quadrates;
200 – the degree of blood dilution;
1/4000 mm3 – the volume of 1 small quadrate
70
There is a simplified formula: E = a•104

- to find the amount of erythrocytes in 1 l of blood by formula E•106
Results:
1. Draw down the mixing tube for the erythrocytes.
2. Write down the process of the erythrocyte counting.

Practical work #3: “Method of definition of hemoglobin level in blood (Sali’s method).”
Sali method is used for the definition of the hemoglobin amount in blood.
Principle of this method is as follows: after adding hydrochloric acid hemoglobin transforms into
hydrochloric hematin that has brown color, intensity of which is directly proportional to the hemoglobin content.
The solution of hydrochloric hematin is diluted with water till it gets standard color.
This method of the definition of hemoglobin amount gives results with accuracy of 10%. Mistake is
associated with the technical problems during definition and possible subjective mistakes in the definition of color.
But this method is widely spread because it is easy and simple.
71
Hemometer Sali is used for this definition. It is a holder with 3 test-tubes. There is 1% solution of
hydrochloric hematin. Middle tube has marks from 0 to 23•10 g/l and it is for the definition of hemoglobin in the
examined blood.
Normally, the amount of hemoglobin of men is 140-160 g/l, of women – 120-140 g/l.
Materials and equipments: hemometer Sali, pipette, glass stick, 0,1N solution of hydrochloric
acid, distillated water, 96% ethanol, cotton wool.
Procedure:
1. With the help of pipette put 0,1N solution of hydrochloric acid into the middle tube of
hemometer till the lowest mark (0,2 ml);
2. For the definition of hemoglobin put blood into the capillary till the mark (0,02 ml);
3. Clean the opening of the capillary with cotton wool;
4. Put the capillary into the tube with acid and carefully eject the blood from the capillary to
the bottom of the tube;
5. Without taking out the capillary from the tube, clean it with acid from the upper layers;
6. Mix blood with acid by shaking the tube;
7. Put the tube into the hemometer;
8. Leave hemometer for 4-5 minutes. By this time acid will destroy erythrocyte membrane,
transform hemoglobin into hydrochloric hematin that has brown color;
9. Put distillated water into the middle tube, until the color of the solution in the middle tube
becomes the same color with the one in standard tubes;
10. Fix the level of solution in the middle tube by the lower meniscus;
11. Get the value in g/l, the value in g% should be multiplied by 10.
Results:
1. Draw hemometer of Sali.
2. Calculate the amount of hemoglobin in the examined blood. Write down the results in the
absolute units.
For example:
Hemometer has graduations in absolute units of hemoglobin.
Result – 15 g% Calculation: 15 g% • 10 = 150 g/l.

Practical work #4 ―Calculation of the color index.”

In clinics 5 indexes of the blood is calculated: color index, average hemoglobin content in the erythrocyte, average
concentration of hemoglobin in the erythrocyte, average erythrocyte volume, average diameter of erythrocyte. It is
necessary to define color index in clinical analysis.
The value of this index shows relative hemoglobin content in every erythrocyte. Normally color index is 0,85 – 1,15.
Increase or decrease of it testifies interruption of the erythrocytes saturation with hemoglobin.
Nomogram is used for the calculation of color index:

a – normal color index value;
b – hemoglobin content by Sali method (%);
c – number of erythrocytes (in 1 l of blood)
а б в
а b c
To calculate hemoglobin amount in % the following operations are performed. For example
there is 14 g% of hemoglobin in blood:
16,7 g% - 100%
14 g% - x x = 14•100 / 16,7 = 84%
Procedure:
1. Find the amount of erythrocytes in 1 mkl of blood and amount of hemoglobin, calculate
color index (CI).
2. If the amount of hemoglobin is in g/l, then CI is calculated using a formula:
CI = (number of Hb (g/l)•3): (first 3 digits of the erythrocytes amount)
For example: if hemoglobin amount is 140 g/l, erythrocytes – 4,2 • 1012 (4 200 000 000 000),
then CI = (140 • 3) : 420 = 1
Results:
1. Calculate the color index using data from previous practical works.

Practical work#5: “Definition of the blood group by ABO system with the help of
coliclones.”
For the definition of the blood group in any system the same principle is used: providing conditions for erythrocytes
agglutination in the medium of standard isohemagglutinating serums or coliclones, that have high titre of antibodies
to the examined antigens of erythrocytes.
Materials and equipments: white plate, pipettes, glass, pencil for glass, examined blood, closed
tubes with solutions of coliclones anti-A and anti-B, isotonic solution of sodium chloride.
Procedure:
1. Divide dry white plate on 4 sectors with glass-pencil.
2. Make notes ―anti-A‖, ‖anti-B‖.
3. With the help of pipettes put drops (0,1 ml) of coliclones anti-A and anti-B in the
accordant sector. Make a string using the same pipette (diameter of the string should not
be less than 1,5 – 2 cm).
4. Put one drop of the examined blood on the glass.
5. Using the angles of another glass put blood (0,01 ml) in the drops of coliclones. Angles
of glass should be different for different coliclones.
6. Mix blood with the drop of coliclone with the angle of glass. Correlation between blood
and coliclone should be 1:10 (mixed drop has pink color).
7. Observe the reaction on the plate during 2,5 minutes.
Results and control:

1. If agglutination does not occur with coliclone anti-A and with coliclone anti-B. So,
examined erythrocytes do not have antigens A and B, and blood belongs to group I (0,
αβ).
2. If agglutination occurred only with coliclone anti-A. So, examined erythrocytes have only
antigen A and blood belongs to group II (A, β).
3. If agglutination occurred only with colicone anti-B. So, examined erythrocytes have only
antigen B and blood belongs to group III (B, α).
4. If agglutination of erythrocytes is observed in both drops of coliclones. So, examined
erythrocytes have both antigens A and B and blood belongs to group IV (AB).
74
It should be mentioned that all processes that occur after 2,5 minutes after mixing will not be
connected with specific agglutination, which is examined and these can have other reasons. False
agglutination can occur when erythrocytes gathers in monetary column. This agglutination can
be easily discerned from the real one if added 1-2 drops of isotonic solution of sodium chloride
to 1 drop of blood. False agglutination will disappear in this case.
Results:
Write down the results of agglutination reaction with coliclones anti-A and anti-B in the
following chart:

Practicalwork #6 “Definition of blood group by ABO system with the help of standard
serums.”
Materials and equipments: chart boards for the definition of blood group, pipettes, glass,
examined blood, standard serums, isotonic solution of sodium chloride.
Procedure:
1. Put one drop (0,1 ml) of standard serum of I, II, III group on the surface of the chart
board in the corresponding sector.
2. Put one drop of the examined blood on the glass with the help of a pipette.
3. Using another glass put part of blood (0,01 ml) in each drop of blood serum. Angles of
glass for every serum should be different.
4. Mix blood with serum using the same angle of glass. Correlation of blood and serum
should be 1:10 (mixed drop should have pink color).
5. Observe the reaction on the chart board after 5 minutes.
75
Results and control:

12. If agglutination is absent in all drops of serums, we can suggest that examined
erythrocytes do not have antigens A and B and blood belongs to group I (0, αβ).
13. If agglutination occurred with serums of I and III group, we can suggest that erythrocytes
have antigen A and blood belongs to group II (A, β).
14. If agglutination occurred with serums of I and II group, we can suggest that erythrocytes
have antigen B and blood belongs to group II (B, α).
15. If agglutination is observed in all serums, we can suggest that erythrocytes have both
antigens A and B and blood belongs to group IV (AB). In this case serum of group IV is
put on the plate and if agglutination does not occur, blood belongs to group IV.
Results:
Write down a chart with the results of agglutination reaction with serums of different groups:

Practical work #1: “Registration and analysis of electrocardiogram”

The regular pattern of electrical impulse production and conduction in the heart results in the mechanical
contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of the myocardium—the cardiac cycle. The recording of these
electrical events, or electrocardiogram (ECG), may reveal abnormal patterns associated with abnormal cardiac
rhythms.
Materials and equipments: electrocardiograph, cotton wool, alcohol, physiological solution;

object of researches is a man.
PROCEDURE
1. With the subject comfortably reclining (lying down), rub a silver dollar-sized amount of
electrolyte gel (physiological solution) on the medial surface, about 2 inches above the
wrists and ankles. Attach electrode plates to these four spots, using the rubber straps
provided (fig. 1).
2. Attach the four ECG leads to the appropriate plates.
3. The specific instructions for obtaining ECG tracings vary with the instrument being used.
Your instructor will demonstrate the use of the recording equipment in your lab. The
following instructions are valid only for a single-channel electrocardiograph.
(a) Turn on the power switch.
(b) Set the paper-speed selector switch to 25 mm (2.5 cm) per second.
(c) Set the sensitivity to 1 (most sensitive).
(d) Set the lead selector switch to the first dot to the left of the STD or CAL position.
(e) Turn the control or knob to the run or record position.
4. Turn the position knob until the stylus is centered on the ECG paper.
5. Turn the lead selector switch to the 1 (lead I) position to measure the voltage difference
between the right and left arms. As the paper is running, depress the mark button once—this
makes a single dash at the top of the chart to indicate that the record is from lead I. Continue
recording until an adequate sample of the tracing can be provided to each member of the
subject’s group; then stop the paper drive by turning the lead selector switch to the dot
above the 1 position. Each dot is a ―rest‖ position where the movement of the chart will stop
between recordings from each lead.
6. Turn the lead selector switch to the 2 (lead II) position to measure the voltage difference
between the right arm and left leg. As the chart is running, depress the mark button twice—
the two dashes produced at the top of the chart will indicate that this is the recording from
lead II. Stop the chart by turning the lead selector switch to the dot above the 2 position.
7. Repeat this procedure with lead III to measure the voltage difference between the left arm
and the left leg.
8. After recordings from leads I, II, and III have been obtained, turn the lead selector switch to
the STD or CAL position. Run the recording out of the machine, allowing members of the
group to cut sample tracings of each lead.
81
9. Remove the electrode plates from the subject’s skin and thoroughly wash the electrolyte gel
from both the plate and the skin.
10. Tape samples of the recordings in your laboratory report and label all the waves.
11. Determine the P-R interval of lead II. This can be done by counting the number of small
boxes between the beginning of the P and the Q and multiplying this number by 0.04 sec.
Results: 1. Write down information about patient (surname, name, age, sex).
2. Paste in the fragment of ECG.
3. Draw in a copybook ECG schematically, to designate indents, segments, intervals.
4. To analyze ECG on the offered chart (calculations to conduct after the standard lead).

4. Determination of duration of cardiac cycle.

Duration of cardiac cycle is the interval of R-R.
At norm duration of cardiac cycle is 0,72 - 1,0
5. Calculation of frequency of cardiac contractions.

FCC is determined by a formula:

In a norm FCC is 60 – 80 per a minute.
6. Calculation of duration of electric systole and systolic index.

The electric systole of ventricles is determined by the interval of Q – T.
Normal duration of iQ-T is determined by Bazett’s formula:
iQ  T  K  iR  R
where K – Coefficient which is even for men – 0,37, for women – 0,40.
iR-R – duration of cardiac cycle.

7. Determination by ECG of direction of electric axis of the heart.

The projection of middle resulting vector of QRS on a frontal plane is called the middle electric
axis of the heart.
Localization of electric axis of the heart is defined in 6-axis system of Bauley, by angle α, which
is formed by electric axis of the heart and positive half of axis of the 1 st standard limb lead.
There are two methods for determining the electrical axis of heart:
1. Visual definition of  angle
It’s most simple and available method that allows you to quickly evaluate the angle α with
accuracy ±10°. This method is based on 2 principles:
a) The maximal positive value of algebraic sum of waves of QRS complex is in lead, axis
of which is the same to electric axis of the heart or is parallel to it.
84
b) Complex of QRS type, algebraic sum of waves of which is 0 (R = S or R = Q+S), is

recorded in the lead, axis of which is perpendicular to electric axis of the heart.
2. Definition of  angle by graphical method

For building the electrical axis of heart used 1st and 3rd limb lead.
- draw a circle;
- draw Einthoven's triangle inside this circle;
- make a centre on the triangle;
- draw parallel line A to the first triplet, and the point it intersects outside the circle is zero
(0), being the positive (+) side of the limb lead;
- draw a line B passing through the centre which is parallel to the 3rd limb lead;
- calculate the algebraic sum (result) of the QRS waves of the lst and 3rd limb lead;
- make a scale of any choice of the algebraic sum of the 1st and 3rd limb lead from the
centre point; (Indicate if positive or negative on scale).
- draw other lines perpendicular to line A and line B respectively, passing through the last
points of the scale;
- draw the perpendicular lines to intersection and draw another line connecting this
intersection to the centre point;
- after this connection, an angle is obtained called "", measure  with a protractor.
QІ = _______ QІІІ= _______

RІ = _______ RІІІ= _______
SІ = _______ SІІІ= _______
Σ (QRS)І =_______ Σ (QRS)ІІІ = _______
 angle =__________.
At normal, the α angle is depends on the

type of constitution.
In normostenic men α = 30 - 69o

in hyperstenic – α = 0 - 29o,
in astenic – α = 70 - 90o.
There are special tables for finding the α

angle. Check the value of α angle which
finding with the data the Dyed’s table.
85
Conclusion:
1.Analysis of cardiac rhythm and conductivity.
Estimation of regularity of cardiac reductions:
Regularity of cardiac reductions is estimated at comparison of duration of intervals of R-R.
Regular or the correct rhythm of heart is diagnosed in case the duration of the measured intervals
of R-R is identical and the difference of the got sizes hesitates in limits ± 10% from middle
duration of intervals of R-R. A abnormal (non-regular) cardiac rhythm is diagnosed in other
cases. The abnormal rhythm of heart (arrhythmia) can be observed at extra systolic, blinking
arrhythmia, sine arrhythmia, etc.
Count of frequency of cardiac contractions:
60
FCC is defining by the formula: FCC = ,
RR
FCC for a healthy man at rest is from 60 to 90 per minute. The increase of FCC (more than
90 per minute) is called tachycardia, and decrease of FCC (less than 60 per minute) – is
bradycardia.
Determination of source of excitation;
For determination of source of excitation, or the driver of rhythm must be estimated base in
number of excitation of atriums and to set the relation of waves.
The sinus rhythm. In a norm electric impulse which arises up in SA – node, spread across atrium
from top to bottom. The vector of depolarization of atrium (P) is here directed in the side of
positive electrode of the standard ligation, and on this ligation of ECG fixed the positive waves
of R. Atriums excitations here always preced excitation of ventricles, and the positive waves of
RII are registered before every complex QRS and in most cases disposed on identical distance
from a complex QRS.
A sinus rhythm is characterized:
 by the presence of standard taking from positive waves of R, which preced every
complex QRS;
 by the permanent identical form of all waves of R.
In terms of absence of these signs, the different variants of non-sinus rhythm are diagnosed.
Estimation of conductivity;
For the estimation of conductivity, measure duration of wave of R (time of distribution of
excitation for atriums), interval of PQ(R) (time of distribution of excitation from atriums to the
AV node, Giss’s bunch), complex QRS (time of distribution of excitation in the ventricles). The
increase of duration of the indicated waves and intervals testifies about the deceleration of
conduction to excitation on the appropriate departments of heart.
2. Determination of position of electric axis of heart.

Distinguish the following variants of position of electric the landmark of heart:
 normal position, when corner α makes from +300 to +690;
 vertical positions are a corner α from +700 to +900;
 horizontal positions are a corner α from +00 to +290;
 rejection of axis to the right is a corner α from +910 to+1800;
 rejection of axis to the left is a corner α from 00 to -900;

Theme: "Practical skills on the Physiology of heart and blood circulation."
Practical work #1: "Research of apical shove."

Apical shove – rhythmic pulsing of pectoral wall, which arises as a result of heart work, during the systole
of ventricles, in a period tension, in the phase of isovolumic contraction. In this period are closing semilunar valves
and A-V valves. Ventricular pressure increases, and the volume does not change. Increasing pressure leads to a
change in shape of the heart from elipsoid to orbed. Longitudinal diameter of heart is declined and grows a cross.
Above the heart presses to the inside of the chest wall, causing it pulsion – cardiac beat.
Characteristic of cardiac shove:
• Localized in bicuspid (mitral) area in the fifth left intercostals space.
• Has a limited area which makes 1-2 cm2.
• Resistant.
• Best expressed in people with poorly developed subcutaneous fat layer, and in children.
• Better defined not in the direct projection, and in reviewing the left side surface of the chest, especially at
small inclination torso forward.
• Do not determined, if it falls on rib.

Practical work #2: Auscultation of heart sounds

The cycle of mechanical contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) of the ventricles can be followed by
listening to the heart sounds with a stethoscope. The contraction of the ventricles produces a rise in intraventricular
pressure, resulting in the vibration of the surrounding structures as the atrioventricular valves slam shut. The valves
on closing, produces the first sound of the heart, usually verbalized as “lub” – 0,12 sec. At the end of the
contraction phase, the blood in the aorta and pulmonary arteries pushes the one-way semilunar valves shut, and the
resulting vibration of these structures produces the second sound of the heart, which is verbalized as “dub” – 0,08
sec. Careful auscultation (listening) to the two heart sounds may reveal two further sounds. This splitting of the
heart sounds into four components is more evident during inhalation than it is during exhalation. During deep
inhalation, the first heart sound may be splited into two sounds because the tricuspid and mitral valves close at
different times. The second heart sound may also be splited into two components because the pulmonary and aortic
semilunar valves closes at different times.
III tone occurs during ventricular diastole (the period of filling, rapid filling phase) as a result of ventricular wall
vibration.
IV tone occurs during systole of atria due to contraction of atria myocardium.
The second method of heart sounds investigation is phonocardiogram. Phonocardiogram (PCG) - examines all tones,
while auscultation examied only I and II tone.
When auscultating heart tones we should observe the following rules:

• The room should be quiet and warm.
• Stethoscope should be warm.
• Experimenter standing on the right side of the measurements.
• The tube should be kept in the rastrub area.
• Stethoscope diaphragm tightly attach to the surface of the body.
• The tube should not face a dressing gown or other objects.
• hear conducted measurements in different positions (vertical, horizontal on the back, left, right side, after a little
physical activity).
Materials and equipments: stethoscopes, object for investigation – human.
Procedure:
1. Clean the earpieces of the stethoscope with an alcohol swab.
2. To best hear the first heart sound, auscultate the apex beat of the heart by placing the
diaphragm of the stethoscope in the fifth left intercostal space (the bicuspid area).
3. To best hear the second heart sound, place the stethoscope to the right or left of the
sternum in the second intercostal space (the aortic or pulmonic area).
4. Compare the heart sounds in the three stethoscope positions described during quiet
breathing, slow and deep inhalation, and slow exhalation.

Practical work #4: "Measuring blood pressure in human by Korotkoff’s method ".
The arterial blood pressure is routinely measured in an indirect manner with a sphygmomanometer, or
blood pressure cuff. This device consists of an inflatable rubber bag connected by rubber hoses to a hand pump and
to a pressure gauge (manometer) graduated in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The rubber bag is wrapped around
the upper arm at the level of the heart and inflated to a pressure greater than the suspected systolic pressure, thus
occluding the brachial artery. The examiner auscultates the brachial artery by placing the bell of a stethoscope in the
cubital fossa and slowly opening a screw valve on the hand pump (bulb), allowing the pressure in the rubber bag to
fall gradually.
At rest, the blood normally travels through the arteries in a laminar flow—that is, blood in the central axial
stream moves faster than the blood in the peripheral layers, with little or no transverse flow (and thus little mixing)
between these axial layers. Consequently, under normal conditions, an artery is silent when auscultated.
When the sphygmomanometer bag is inflated to a pressure above the systolic pressure, the flow of blood in
the artery is stopped and the artery is again silent. As the pressure in the bag gradually drops to levels between the
systolic and diastolic pressures of the artery, the blood is pushed through the partially compressed walls of the
artery, creating turbulent flow. Under these conditions, the layers of blood are mixed by eddies that flow at right
95
angles to the axial stream, and the turbulence sets up vibrations in the artery that are heard as sounds in the
stethoscope. These sounds are known as the sounds of Korotkoff, after Nikolai S. Korotkoff, the Russian physician
who first described them.
The cuff pressure at which the first sound is heard is the systolic pressure. The cuff pressures at which the
sound becomes muffled and the pressure at which the sound disappears are taken as measurements of the diastolic
pressure.
The pulse pressure is calculated as the difference in these two pressures; and the mean arterial pressure
is equal to the diastolic pressure plus one-third of the pulse pressure.
Materials and equipments: sphygmomanometer, stethoscopes, stopwatch, object for

Procedure:
1. Have the subject sit down, with his or her right or left arm resting on a table at the level
of the heart. Wrap the cuff of the sphygmomanometer around the arm about 2.5 cm above
the elbow.
2. Palpate the brachial artery in the cubital fossa and place the bell of the stethoscope where
the arterial pulse is felt. Gently close the screw valve and pump the pressure in the cuff
up to 20 mm Hg above the point where sounds disappear, or to 20 mm Hg above the
point where the radial pulse can no longer be felt.
3. Open the screw valve to allow the pressure in the cuff to fall slowly at a rate of about 2 or
3 mm Hg per second.
4. Record the systolic pressure (beginning of phase 1) and the two measurements of
diastolic pressure (beginning of phases 4 and 5). Enter these values in your laboratory
report and compare your pressures with the range of normal values listed in table 7.1.
5. Calculate appropriate indexes of pressures by Volynsky’s formula:

Practical work #5: "Investigation of orthostatic test by Martin”

When human change position from horizontal to vertical, a change of hydrostatic pressure occurs and is
related with the redistribution of blood volume. Only in some capacity, vessels temporarily accumulates 400 - 600
ml. of blood. As a consequence of which venous return, central venous pressure, stroke volume and AP syst. are
temporarily reduced. All listed changes is compensated by hemodynamic reactions that triggered signals from
arterial baroreceptors. When human changes position from horizontal to vertical, hydrostatic pressure in the aortic
arc and carotid sinus is reduced, as a result the impulses from baroreceptors decreases this causes the folowing
reflex adaptive reactions:
1) increace of resistance in capacity vessels;
2) increase FCC;
3) increase the secretion of catecholamine adrenal brain substance;
4) activation of renin - angiotensin system;
5) increased secretion of vasopresin and aldosteron.
When human changes position from horizontal to vertical:

- AP avg. - virtually no change;
- Central venous pressure - reduced by 3 mm.Hg.
- FCC - increased by 30%
- stroke volume - decreased by 40%
- Total peripheral resistance - increases by 30%.
If insufficient compensatory mechanisms for maintenance of normal hemodynamic AP can fall below
acceptable levels and blood supply of the brain bloked. Subjective manifestations are dizziness and darkening of the
eyes (orthostatic hypotension); perhaps even loss of consciousness. Similar phenomena may occur in completely
healthy people at high temperate environment. In these conditions canting test load decreases as the expanded
vessel, required for thermoregulation, prevails over vessels constrictions. Reactions that contribute to maintaining
hemodynamic.
Orthostatic tests. Regulations of hemodynamic response to changing situation of course researched by measuring
FCC and AP as determinated through the time periods after the human changed from horizontal to vertical position.
Clinic criterion in assessing the results of orthostatic test for AP diast.
Hemodynamic reactions are considered normal if after 10 min. conversion to vertical position:
AP diast. - reduced no more than 5 mm. Hg;
AP syst. - within 5%;
FCC - an average increase of 30%;
SV - reduced by 40%.
When hyperdiastolic orthostatic hypotension (80-85% of pathological deviations):

AP diast. - increased more than 5 mm. Hg;
AP syst. - reduced by more value.
As a result, pressure oscillation amplitude is significantly reduced. There is a significant increase in FCC
and reduction of stroke volume. Increasing AP diast. is (due to significant constriction resistance vessels) and FCC
at this type of reaction associated with a significant increase in the tone of the sympathetic nervous system.
When hypodiastolic orthostatic hypotension:
AP diast .- decreases;
AP syst. - decreases;
AP puls. - varies slightly;
FCC - almost not increased;
SV - moderately low.
Change AP and FCC at this type of reaction caused by poorly pronounced increase in the tone of the sympathetic
nervous system.

Practical work #6: “Investigation of the Shalkov’s functional tests (with physical load)”.
In physical stress: AP mean - increased by 20 mm. Hg; Central venous pressure - reduced by 3 mm. Hg;
- FCC - 150 bit/min Stroke volume - increased by 50% Cardiac Output - increases by 400%
- Total peripheral resistance - reduced
After the termination of the AP rather quickly decreases. This is due to first, thet expanded vessels only gradually
contract as a resolt of metabolites and compensated oxygen deficiency, and secondly, the stoped pumping action of
muscles and breathing movements, which helps accelerate the venous return. Cardiac output, FCC, absorption of
oxygen and arterial-venous difference for oxygen return to the original level so slowly, as the load becomes intense.
