16
Q

____ ____ is created when an electrical impulse reaches a cardiac cell, and a threshold potential has been achieved.

A

Action potential

17
Q

____ is when a change occurs inside a cell that causes the distribution of electric charges (electrolytes) to alter, leaving the cell with a less negative charge than the outside.

A

Depolarization

18
Q

____ is the recovery from the depolarization state.

A

Repolarization

19
Q

In what action potential phase is cardiac cell rapid depolarization? (this is where sodium rapidly enters the cell and potassium leaves the cell)

A

Phase 0-1

20
Q

In what action potential phase is early rapid repolarization? (this is where potassium begins to reenter the cell as sodium leaves it)

A

Phase 1

21
Q

Which action potential phase is known as the plateau phase? (marks the point at which CA+ enters the cardiac cell, causing cell contraction)

A

Phase 2

22
Q

Action potential phase 2 coincides with the ____ segment of EKG.

A

ST

23
Q

Which action potential phase is final rapid repolarization? (this is when the cell repolarizes by pumping sodium and CA+ out while potassium returns to the cell)

A

Phase 3

24
Q

What action potential phase is considered the resting phase? (this is when sodium and calcium remain outside the cell while potassium remains inside the cell)

A

Phase 4

25
Q

During ____ ____ ____ (phase 1 and 2) the cardiac cell will not respond to another stimulus, no matter how strong.

A

Absolute refractory period

26
Q

During ____ ____ ____ (phase 2 and 3) the cardiac cell can be stimulates again but the stimulus must be stronger than usual.

A

Relative refractory period

27
Q

Normally, ______ events briefly proceed _____ events.

A

Electrical; Mechanical

28
Q

32
Q

There is a considerable amount of variation in _____ of main coronaries to posterior descending coronary.

A

Dominance (right or left dominent)

33
Q

The left main coronary bifurcates into the ____ and ____.

A
