Cards

Term
connexons
Definition
proteins that are non-specific, leaky ion channels; allows sodium to diffuse btwn cells during depolarization; propagation of signal
Term
atria
Definition
pumps blood to ventricles
Term
ventricle
Definition
pumps blood to lungs (right) & body (left)
Term
right structures are...
Definition
oxygen poor
Term
left structures are...
Definition
oxygen rich
Term
normal flow of blood: to lungs...
Definition
heart>artery>capillary
Term
normal flow of blood: back to heart...
Definition
capillary>vein>heart
Term
atrioventricular bundle
Definition
bundle of His; pathway electric signal follows as it leave the AV node
Term
Purkinje fibers
Definition
coordinate contraction of ventricles
Term
atria systole...
Definition
when action potential moves through two atria causing contraction
Term
ventribular systole
Definition
action potential depolarizes the vells of the AV node
Term
P wave
Definition
atria depolarize
Term
QRS
Definition
ventricle depolarize
Term
T wave
Definition
ventricle repolarize
Term
relaxation
Definition
diastole
Term
contraction
Definition
systole
Term
first heart sound
Definition
ventricles depolarize and begin to contract
Term
second heart sound
Definition
ventricles repolarize and relax (in diastole)
Term
conduction system responsible for atrial systole...
Definition
SA node (depolarizes)
Term
cardioacceleratory
Definition
sympathetic system; norephinephrine
Term
cardioinhibitory
Definition
parasympathetic; acetylcholine
Term
proprioceptors
Definition
inform brain of changes in physical activity; increase heart rate before metabolic demand
Term
baroreceptors
Definition
sense pressure in vessels, too high= lower heart rate, too low= increase heart rate
Term
chemoreceptors
Definition
sensitive to blood pH; too much CO2= increase heart rate to remove waste
Term
arteries carry blood...
Definition
away from the heart
Term
veins carry blood...
Definition
to the heart
