3 Circuits?
Pulmonary Circuit
Systemic Circuit
Coronary Circuit
Pulmonary Circuit
- Blood Being Transported to the Lungs and Back to the Heart
- Right Side of Heart
- Short Circuit
Systemic Circuit
- Blood Being Transported to the Body
- Left Side of the Heart
- Long Circuit
Coronary Circuit
-Blood being transported to the Heart
In Coronary Circuit arteries deliver O2 to
the heart while it is relaxed
_____ muscle is striated
Cardiac
Intercalated Discs connect muscle cells so that they
contract at the same time ( Functional Syncytium
More Mitochondria =
More ATP
Nodal Cells have self-excitability and do not maintain a
stable resting potential
Nodal Cells have an unable resting potential that continuously
depolarizes
Nodal Cells Contract on their own with the Nervous System ONLY affecting…
the speed of contraction
In Action Potential of Nodal Cells ( PAcemaker) ____ is held constant
Na+
In Action Potential of Nodal Cells ____ slowly decreases
K+
(Nodal)
The interior becomes less and less negative over time due to what?
The differences in Na+ and K+
(Nodal)
When threshold is reached fast Ca+ channels open, allowing an explosive entry of …..
Ca+ and some Na+
What produces the rising phase in the Action Potential of Nodal Cells?
Ca+ produces the rising
In cardiac muscle the heart contracts as a unit or ….
doesn’t contract at all
Why does cardiac muscle have functional syncytium ?
A transmission wave of depolarization travels across the heart from cell to cell
Refractory period of the cardiac muscle time?
250 ms
Why does cardiac muscle have a long refractory period?
To prevent any type of tetanic contractions in the heart
3 Steps for stimulation of Cardiac Muscle contraction
1- Influx of Sodium/Calcium
2- Depolarization wave travels down the sarcolemma
3- Influx of Ca+ triggers cardiac muscle contraction
Influx of sodium/calcium from autorhythmetic cells triggers change in membrane potential from …
-90 mV to +30mV
(Nodal) Phase 4 ( Funny Current) involves ……..
Ca2+ and Na+ (leakage channel)
Parasympathetic will…… the Funny Current (slows HR)
