across the membrane ive on the inside and +ive on the outside of the cell. This membrane potential is called the Resting Potential of the cell. 8.Define Action Potential. When a section of cell membrane is excited by a flow of ionic current or same form of externally applied voltage the membrane changes its permeability and begins to allow to some of the sodium ions to enter. This movement of sodium ions into the cell results in an ionic current flow that further reduces the barrier of membrane to sodium ion rush into the cell to try to reach to balance with the ions outside. At the same time potassium ions which were higher in the concentration inside the cell during the resting stage try to leave the cell, but are unable to move as rapidly as sodium ions. As a result the cell has a slightly positive potential on the due to imbalance of potassium ions. This +ive potential is called action potential and this is approximately +20mv .A cell in the action potential stage is said to be depolarized. The process of changing from resting stage to action potential stage is called depolarization. 9. Explain Bioelectric Potential Bioelectric potential are generated at a cellular level. that is each cell is a minute voltage generator .because positive and negative ions tend to concentrate unequally inside and outside the cell wall, a potential difference is established and the cell becomes a tiny biological battery.

This take a long time for the resting potential to develop again .But by the active process called sodium pump, the sodium ions are quickly transported outside of the cell and the cell again becomes polarized and assumes its resting potential. This process is called depolarization.

1) With neat diagram explain ECG? 2) With neat diagram explain EEG? 3) With neat diagram explain EMG? 4) With neat diagram explain EOG? 5) Explain how recorders are selected with high accuracy? 6) Explain Different lead system for recording ECG. In standard ECG recording there are 5 electrodes connected to the patient. Right arm, Left arm, Left leg, Right leg and chest. These electrodes are connected to the input of a differential amplifier through a lead selector switch. The recording obtained across different pairs of electrodes results in different waveform shapes and amplitudes; each lead conveys a certain amount of unique information. The ECG machine uses the patients right leg as common electrode and the lead selector connects proper limb or chest electrodes to the diff amplifier input. The bipolar limb leads are those designated lead I , lead II and lead III and form what is called Einthoven triangle. 1.lead I : LA is connected to the amplifiers non inverting input, while RA is connected to the inverting terminal. 2. Lead II: The LL is connected to the amplifiers NI input, while RA is connected to the inverting input. 3. Lead III: the LL is connected to the NI terminal while LA is connected to the inverting input. Lead I: VI = FL FR Lead II: VII = FF - FR Lead III: VIII = FF FL VI : the voltage of Lead I VII : the voltage of Lead II VII : the voltage of Lead III FL = potential at the left arm FR = potential at the left arm FF = potential at the left arm Einthoven's Triangle and Law Einthoven, the father of electrocardiography, visualized the three standard limb leads enclosing the heart in a triangle, often referred to as Einthoven's triangle Einthoven also found a relationship between the amplitude of the QRS complexes in each lead, such that lead I +lead III = lead II (Einthoven's law). The unipolar limb lead are also known as the augmented limb leads, examine the composite potential from all three leads simultaneously. In all augmented leads the signals from two limbs are summed in a resistor network and then applied to the amplifiers inverting input, while the signal from the remaining limb electrode is applied to the non inverting input. 1. Lead aVR: RA is connected to the non inverting input, while LA and LL are summed at the inverting terminal. 2. Lead aVL: LA is connected to the non inverting input, while RA and LL are summed at the inverting input. 3. Lead aVF: LL is connected to the non inverting input , while RA and LA are summed at the inverting input. The unipolar chest leads (V1 through V6) are measured with the signals from certain specified locations on the chest applied to the amplifiers non inverting input, while the RA, LA and LL signals are summed in a resistor network at the amplifiers inverting inputs.

Part A -2 Mark Questions & Answers
1. What are the types of measurements of blood pressure? 1. Indirect or noninvasive method. 2. Direct or invasive method. 2. How is the blood pressure measured in the indirect method? The indirect method of measuring blood pressure involves the use of a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. The sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable pressure cuff and a mercury or aneroid manometer to measure the pressure in the cuff. The cuff is normally manually inflated, with a rubber bulb and deflated slowly through a needle valve. 3. Explain the principle of sphygmomanometer. The sphygmomanometer works on the principle that when the cuff is placed on the upper arm and inflated, the arterial blood can flow past the cuff only when the arterial pressure exceeds the pressure in the cuff. Further more, when the cuff is inflated to a pressure that only occludes the brachial artery, turbulence is generated in the blood as it spurts through the tiny arterial opening during each systole. The sounds generated by this turbulence, Korotkoff sounds, can be heard through the stethoscope placed over the artery downstream from the cuff. 4. What are the methods involved in direct blood pressure measurement? 1. Auscultatory method 2. Palpatory method Auscultatory method locates the systolic and diastolic pressure valves by listening to the Korotkoff sound. Palpatory method is an alternative method in which the physician identifies the flow of blood in the artery by feeling the pulse of the patient downstream from the cuff instead of listening for the Korotkoff sounds. In this method, systolic pressure can be easily measured. 5. What is meant by mean arterial pressure(MAP)? A. Mean Arterial pressure is the weighted average of the systolic and diastolic pressure MAP falls about one- third of the way between the diastolic low and systolic peak. Formula for calculating MAP is, MAP = 1/3 (systolic diastolic) + diastolic 6. What are the methods involved in direct blood pressure measurement? 1. Percutaneous insertion 2. Catheterization(Vessel Cutdown) 3. Implantation of a transducer in a vessel or in the heart. 4. Other methods such as clamping a transducer on the intact artery have been used. But they are not common. 7. Explain the two ways involved in measurement of blood pressure with a catheter?

MEDICAL ELECTRONICS
1. The first is to introduce a sterile saline solution into catheter so the fluid pressure is transmitted to a transducer outside the body a complete fluid pressure system is set up with provisions for checking against atmospheric pressure and for establishing a reference point. The frequency response of this system is a combination of the frequency response of the transducer and the fluid column in the catheter. 2. In the second method, pressure measurements are obtained at the source. Here, the transducer is introduced into the catheter and pushed to the point at which the pressure is to be measured, or the transducer is mounted at the tip of the catheter. This device is called a catheter-tip blood pressure transducer. 8. Discuss the technique involved in direct measurement? 1)A catheterization method involving the sensing of the blood pressure through a liquid column. In this method the transducer is external to the body and the blood pressure is transmitted through a saline solution column in a catheter to this transducer. 2) A catheterization method involving the placement of the transducer through the catheter at the actual size of measurement in the bloodstream or by mounting the transducer on the tip of the catheter. 3)Percutaneous methods in which the blood pressure is sensed in the vessel just under the skin by the use of a needle or catheter. 4)Implantation techniques in which the transducer is more permanently placed in the blood vessels or the heart by surgical methods. 9) What are the different types of blood flow meters? 1)Magnetic blood flow meter Based on the principle of Magnetic induction. 2)Ultrasonic blood flow meter-Based on the principle if Doppler. 3)Thermal convection-The rate of cooling is proportional to the rate of flow of the medium. This principle is also used to measure the gas flow. 4)Determination by Radiographic method-By the injection of a contrast medium into a blood vessel, the circulation pattern can be made visible. Record of the X-ray image, obstruction can be detected and the blood flow in the blood vessels can be estimated. This technique is known as angiography. 10)What is cardiac output? The blood flow at any point in the circulatory system is the volume of blood that passes that point during a unit of time .It is measured normally in millimeter per min or liters per min .Blood flow is highest in the pulmonary artery and the aorta, where the blood vessels leave the heart. The flow at these points is called cardiac output. 11)What is meant by pH? pH can be defined as the logarithm of the reciprocal of the H+ ion concentration. It is a measure of the acid-base balance of a fluid. pH= - log10 [H+] = log10( 1/[H+])
12)What is the pH value for blood? The pH value of normal arterial blood ranges between 7.38 and 7.42.The pH of venous blood is 7.35,because of the extra CO2. 13)Define GSR.
MEDICAL ELECTRONICS
GSR is used for measuring variations in perspiration. In response to an external stimulus, such as touching a sharp point ,the resistance of the skin shows a characteristic decrease and this is known as Galvanic Skin Response. The GSR is believed to be caused by the activity of the sweat glands. 14)Give the name of the instrument used for respiratory volume measurements and what are its types? The most widely used instrument for respiratory volume measurements in the recording spirometer. The different types of spirometer are Standard spirometer . Electronic spirometer Broncho spirometer Waterless spirometer Wedge spirometer
15) Give the name of the instrument used for measuring airflow and explain its principle. Pneumo tachometer can be used for measuring airflow. This device utilizes the principle that air flowing through an orifice produces a pressure difference across the orifice that is a function of the velocity of the air. 16) Define MVV. Maximal voluntary ventilation is a measure of the maximum amount of air that can be breathed in and blown out over a sustained interval, such as 15 or 20seconds. 17)What is FVC? Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air that can forcibly be expired as quickly as possible after taking the deepest possible breath. 18)What is FRC? The functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end expiratory level. It the sum of the residual volume and the expiratory reserve volume. 19)Differentiate between tidal volume and residual volume. The tidal volume (TV) or normal depth of breathing, is the volume of gas inspired or expired during each normal, quiet, respiration cycle. The residual volume (RV), is the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration. 20)Define total lung capacity. Total Lung Capacity is the amount of gas contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration .It is also the sum of residual volume and vital capacity.

17. Why aluminum filter is used in X-Ray tube. The emitted rays of unwanted frequencies increase the patient those and the decrease the image contrast. Aluminum filters observes the lowest X-Ray frequency and hence the intensity of low X-Ray frequencies incident on the patient is ready in use. Hence the negative effects produce by low frequency X-Rays are reduced. 18.Expalin the function of collimatorBetween the patient and the X-Ray tube the collimator is placed .I t is an aperture diaphragm which restricts the beam falling on the patient. the necessary shaping of the XRay beam is done by it

20.Define NMR In the presence of large magnetic field the spinning of nucleus in the atom and its axis of rotation will process about the magnetic field. Each spin state has different energy. At equilibrium, the lower state has more nuclei than the higher state. Using RF radiation with an energy exactly equal to the energy difference between two nuclear energy states. One state can achieve population inversion by raising the nuclei from the lower energy states to the higher energy state .The excited nuclear spins will slowly return to its equilibrium. Emitting the RF called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
