Distribution of cardiac output at rest - NOT 5L/min, it was "none of the above"
Thinnest layer of vein wall - intima

I thought distribution of cardiac output was "affected by arterial compliance"? Because during one of our lectures we had that exact question for a quiz and the answer was "arterial resistance"

With the diaphragm question, I thought it was it being inferior to the lungs as the question says something along the lines of "which one affects inspiration", and it's the diaphragm being below the lungs that creates the pressure gradient

Koochkooch and Pete, I'd be keen to join in for the epi meet-up, I can make it monday after 10 and tuesday before 3. Wednesday and thursday are a bit scattered but I can make it if the time's right

 

[skyglow1]

Oh I think we had "none of the above" as the answer when we did it in our year.

skyglow you must be very smart!!!! how can you remember what you had last year?
my results were not bad had 98 GPA for first semester..... but to be honest i dont even remember a single question from my previous tests or exam....bravo u hav a sharp mind...

 

[skyglow1]

Well he explicitly said "the distribution of cardiac output at rest is NOT 5L/min" and we had the quiz question too in the lecture to reinforce that point. And when you guys talk about the same question as we had it reminds me about last year's question.

 

[pete7]

Im easy. Maybe tuesday?

Any time after 2pm Tuesday should be good. Skyglow, Docca?

 

[docca.emb]

yep sounds good..

 

[skyglow1]

2-4 tutorial on tuesday

 

[pete7]

would people object to something like 7-9pm on tuesday? Or would you rather do personal study at night?

 

[Deleted member 4350]

Main problem is tutorials @ 7.30pm >.<

 

[docca.emb]

How's everyone's wednesday between 12 and 3? or at night

 

[pete7]

[skyglow1]

12-3 is when I have stuff on wednesday (lol worst time picking ever) and at night I have to give a tutorial at aquinas.

 

[pete7]

Hey guys, I have a question:

What's better, 95 average in your health sci papers and 80 in umat, or vice-versa? Thanks

 

[Deleted member 4350]

95 i health sci and 80 in UMAT. 67% contributes from GPA, 33% from UMAT

 

[Public Liability]

Oh so if Health sci is 67%, then each semester must be worth around as much as umat?

So if we talk about ONE semester's worth of grades, would a 95 in semester 1 of health sci or a 95 in umat be more valuble?

And one more little thing, we know there's no difference between 90 and 100, it's just A+ and you get your points, does the same go for umat? Thanks

 

[Random]

Papers are GPA based and umat is percentile based so I would think theres a difference between each 1% for umat instead of every 5% for a paper.

And theoretically if you compared a 95 for 1 semester and a 95 for umat it should be the same?
