Term
T/F: Only point of elect. Contact between atria-ventricles and AV-node
Definition
TRUE
Term
Why is SA node the pace maker of the heart?
Definition
Because it has capacity to generate faster beats, (70-80) than other portions of the
Term
Action Potential
Definition
Is from cells
Term
EKG
Definition
is from whole entire heart
Term
Sequence of cardiac excitation....
Definition
SA Node → atrial myocardium → ventricular myocardium → AV node → bundle of his → Purkinje → ventricular myocardium
Term
Purpose of AV node delay?
Definition
To allow end of atrial contraction before ventricular contraction begins
Term
If ventricle is damaged, which EKG wave looks different?
Definition
QRS complex
Term
Why no seperate wave for atrial repolarization?
Definition
Hidden under vascular depolarization wave
Term
If P wave is not followed by QRS complex, what does this reflect?
Definition
Damage to the AV node
Term
Define ventricular fibrillation
Definition
When there is no synchronized beat
Term
Equation for cardiac output
Definition
CO = SV * HR
Term
Equation for systolic volume
Definition
SV= EDV -ESV
Term
Equation for ejection fraction
Definition
(SV / EDV) * 100

T/F: Blood flows into circulatory system during diastole?
Definition
TRUE
Term
What was the first neurotransmitter discovered?
Definition
Acetylcholine
Term
Otto Loewi discovered what?

Dilation
Term
What happens if mitral valve fails
Definition
Back flow of blood intoleft atriaum fom left ventricles during systole
Term
increased heart rate mainly due to relase of epinephrine from adrenal glands

Role of ANF
Definition
To regulate blood pressure
Term
In healthy hear, increased venous return will lead to
Definition
Increased stroke volume
Term
Increased aortic pressure will lead to
Definition
Increased afterload on the heart
Term
Significant blood loss leads to....
