Right vagus nerve supply
Sino atrial nerve
Left vagus supply
Atrioventricular nerve
Hearts pumps
70 beats per minute
Muscle of heart
Cardiac
Specialized area in cardiac muscle
Intercalated discs
Gap junctions act as
Low resistant bridges
What is excitability
The ability of a tissue to respond to a stimulus
RMP in excitability
-90mV
What ia phase 4 of ionic basis of excitability
Restoration of RMP is due to Na K ATPase pump
What is autorhythmicity
Ability of tissue to generate its own impulse at regular intervals
Ability of tissue to contract and generate firce
Contractility
Contractile phase is
Systole
Relaxation phase is
Diastole
Muscle fails to respond to second stimulus
Long refractory period
Two types of refractory period
Absolute and relative
Increase in heart rate
Decreases the duration of cardiac cycle
What does atrium do during the major part of the cardiac cycle
Relax
How much seconds for atrial systole
0.1
