located in the right atrial wall, begins cardiac excitation.

Q

located in the interatrial septum; step__,
Function?

A
  1. atrioventricular (AV) node,

action potential slows considerably, providing time for the atria to empty their blood into the ventricles

Q
  1. atrioventricular (AV) bundle; aka?
A
  1. bundle of HIS; From the AV node, the action potential enters the atrioventricular (AV) bundle in intravascular system

Q

3 waves

A

P, QRS, T wave

19
Q

is a small upward deflection on the ECG; it represents _______ depolarization.

A
  1. P wave; reps: atrial depolarization
20
Q

Causes contraction

A
  1. Depolarization; atria contracts
21
Q

Which complex represents the onset of ventricular depolarization when the ventricles start to contract?

22
Q

a dome-shaped upward deflection that indicates ventricular repolarization and occurs just before the ventricles start to relax .
Which complex?

A
  1. The T wave complex
23
Q

Includes all of the events associated with one heartbeat.

A

Cardiac Cycle

24
Q

What happens in normal cardia cycle?

A

the two atria contract while the two ventricles __RELAX_______; then, while the two ventricles contract, the two atria __relax_____.

25
Term refers to the phase of contraction:
Systole
26
Diastole =
Relaxation
27
A cardiac cycle consists of systole and diastole of both atria plus systole and diastole of both ventricles. -T/F?
True
28
Cardiac cycle three phases:
1. Relaxation period 2. Atrial systole 3. Ventricular systole
29
begins at the ENDS of a cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax and all four chambers are in diastole
1. Relaxation period
30
Atrial systole:
2. Contraction of atria
31
Ventricular systole:
3. Contraction of ventricles
32
Sound of the heartbeat comes primarily from the closure of the valves:
Heart sounds
33
is a long, booming sound from the AV valves closing after ventricular systole begins.
Lubb- known as first sound
34
TWO AV VALVES ARE:
TRICUSPID AND BICUSPID
35
The second sound, a short, sharp sound known as? From?
Dupp: from semilunar valves closing
36
VOLUME of blood ejected per minute from the left ventricle into the AORTA is called?
Cardiac output
37
Cardiac output determined by:
1. Stroke Volume 2. Heart Rate
38
Three factors regulate stroke volume:
1. The degree of stretch: Frank- Sterling Law 2. The forcefulness of contraction 3. The pressure required to eject blood ( more-slide 57)
39
Autonomic Regulation of Heart Rate - the “nervous system regulation” of the heart originates in the cardiovascular (CV) center in
Medulla Oblongata
40
Other heart regulators include
the cardiac accelerator nerves, vagus (X) nerves, baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors
41
Other Factors in Heart Rate Regulation
age, gender, physical fitness, and body temp
42
Increased body temperature (fever or strenuous exercise) increase OR decrease heart rate?
increase
43
Decreased body temperature decreases OR increases heart rate ?
Decreases
