- A(Vp-Vn) (A is very large) - small series output resistor, Ro, which can be approximated as zero resistance - very large, can be approximated as infinite resistance or an open circuit
Which of these items are true about the Pressure-Volume (PV) loop for the heart.
- The area of the PV loop is a measure of work performed by the heart. - The width of the loop is a measure of the stroke volume of each chamber of the heart. - Time is not directly visible in the PV loop. - The PV Loop can be constructed from the Wigger's Diagram, the diagram that shows pressure and volume of the heart as functions of time - the bigger the loop area, the more energy is used
Ohm's law represents a ... relationship between current and voltage
- linear (V=IR). - States that the voltage drop across a resistive element is proportional to the electrical current, with the proportionality constant given by the resistance R. - If R increases: the current will decrease, the voltage will increase, and the pressure drop across the tube goes up
the ideal op amp model
- no current can flow into these input terminals because they are terminated in open circuits - output voltage is the same as the dependent source voltage since Ro=0 - Vp=Vn
succession of pv-loops
- starts with left ventricle overfilled compared to normal, goes through cycles until normal volume is reached - line that marks the left edge has a slope of 1/Chs
non inverting amplifier
- used when it is desired that the output voltage have the same polarity as the input voltage - signal voltage source is connected to the non-inverting input - input and output voltages have the same sign
inverting amplifier
- used when it is desired to amplify and invert an input signal so that the output voltage is larger than the input but of opposite polarity. - output voltage of the amplifier is equal to the input voltage multiplied by the ratio of Rf and Rs - negative sign in the equation means that the polarity of the output is inverted from that of the input, hence the name
Steps to find FM and FJ
1. Draw a free body diagram and include, - Wc: applied weight - WL: lever weight - Fm: muscle force - Fj: joint force - axis - correct moment-arm lengths 2. balance the moments, find moments and set equal to zero (Fj not inlcuded) 3. find the joint reaction force

Kirchhoffs Tour Rules
1. when using KVL around a loop, the sign of the voltage contribution across any element is the sign first encountered in the direction of the tour 2. Each independent loop must include at least one new branch not included in any other loop 3. For n nodes, KCL gives (n-1) independent equations
