Question

One day while mowing the lawn Grandpa felt a sharp pain in his chest and running down his left arm. Grandma called 911 and Grandpa was rushed to the hospital. In the hospital it was determined that Grandpa had long-term obstruction of the artery that supplies blood to the right atrium and right ventricle of his heart. Part of the right ventricle and right atrium did not receive enough oxygen, died and was replaced with scar tissue. The right ventricle now does not pump sufficiently. Grandpa started having arrhythmia. He started having rapid weak contractions. The doctors determined that Grandpa was deficient in one of his electrolytes. 6. Which electrolyte or mineral was out of balance? And what is the disorder? (1 point) 7. Which phase of the pacemaker potential was affected? To compensate for the weak contractions Grandpa’s body changed his blood pressure. His blood pressure went to 150/90 mmHg. 8. What vascular problem does Grandpa now have? (1 point) 9. Which receptors are his body using to monitor the blood pressure? (1 point) 10. Name one hormone that his body could have used to raise his blood pressure. (1 point)
