:confused:A patient bites down rapidly on an unexpected hard surface while chewing .cessation of motor unit recruitment i jaw closing muscles is caused by stimulation of
a muscle spindles
b mucosal mechanoreceptors
c periodontal mechanoreceptors
d nociceptors in dental pulp
ans c.


:confused:which of the following explains why an increasing filling of the ventricle during diastole causes a more forceful heart beat?the incressed ventricular volume.
A.diminishes the refractory period of the ventricle.
B.incresses end-diastolic fiber length.
C.facilitates conduction in the heart.
D.produces a less than optimal load.
ans B.

1) C _ It is proprioceptive function of periodontal ligament.
2) B _ It is the Frank-Staling relationship. The greater the heart is filled during diastole, the greater will be the force of contraction of the cardiac muscle
 
in the second q. i think the reason is greater filling of the ventricle during diastole increases the preload on the heart which causes more forceful contraction
 
and the increased preload is ofcourse indicative of increased end diastolic fibre length
