Cards

Term
Conduction Pathway and EKG
-Atrial Excitation
Definition
WAVE STUFF
-SA node initiates P wave (pacemaker), AV node = P WAVE DUE TO CONTRACTION OF ATRIA CONTRACTILE CELLS
Term
Conduction Pathway and EKG
-Ventricular Excitation
Definition
- begins during atrial relaxation (first part of R wave)
- complete with contraction of ventricles LARGE R SPIKE

-bundle of his deliver excit to apex of heart so bentricular contraction occurs in upward sweep
Term
-Ventricular Relaxation
Definition
T WAVE is relaxation of the ventricles
Term
AUTOMATICITY
Definition
CAPABLE OF SPONTANEOUS RHYTHMICAL SELF EXCITATION
Term
SINUS RHYTHM
Definition
NORMAL CARDIAC EXCITATION CONTRACTION SEQUENCE BEGINNING AT SA NODE (DRIVES IT ALL)
Term
LATENT PACEMAKER
Definition
LYING QUIET OR HIDDEN, not active potential pacemakers

-AV NODE AND CONDUCTING CELLS
Term
ECTOPIC PACEMAKER
Definition
ABNORMAL, ANY SITE DRIVING BENTRICULAR EXCITE-CONTRACT
WHEN LATENT BECOMES PRIMARY

-I.E/ SA NODE CELLS DIE OFF WITH AGE
Term
PACEMAKER CELLS INTRINSIC DEPOLARIZATION RATES
Definition
SA NODE 100-120 APS/MIN
AV NODE 60-80 APS/MIN
PURKINJIE FIBERS 30-50 APS/MIN
Term
TACHYCARDIA
Definition
HR GREATER THAN 100BPM
SINUS DURING EXERCISE
Term
BRADYCARDIA
Definition
HR <60 BPM
SLOOWWWW
Term
FIBRILATION
Definition
SUPER BAD
IRREGULAR AND CHAOTIC AP PROPAGATION
CAN BE FATAL
Term
3 types of action potentials for different cell types based on...
Definition
changes in ion permeability via opening/closing of ion channels (#)and type of ion channel
-nodal cell
-conducting cell
-contractile cell
Term
PHASE ORDER OF AP CONTRACTILE CELL
Definition
4 0 1 2 3
Term
CONTRACILE CELL 4
Definition
resting membrane potential
Term
CONTRACTILE PHASE AP 0
Definition
RAPID OPENING OF VOLTAGE GATED SODIUM CHANNELS LEADS TO RAPID DEPOLARIZATION PHASE

UPSTROKE IS DUE TO NA++

NOTE: NO EPSP=> NOT GRADED!
Term
CONTRACTILE CELL AP 1
Definition
SLIGHT DIP DUE TO NA++ INACTIVATION
AND I_TO
Term
CONTRACTILE CELL AP 2
Definition
L TYPE CA++ RECEPTORS ALLOW INTO CELL (DHPR)

THIS IS THE PLATEAU OF DEPOLARIZATION

BECAUSE OF PROLONGED OPENING OF THE VOLTAGE GATED CA++ CHANNELS

LITTLE HILL ON GRAPH
Term
CONTRACTILE CELL AP 3
Definition
INCREASED PERMEABILITY TO K
K LEAVES THROUGH OPENING OF CHANNELS
REPOLARIZATION PHASE
Term
NODE AP phase 4
Definition
I_f (CURRENT DUE TO F-TYPE--FUNNY NA CHANNELS)CAUSES DRIFT
Term
NODE AP PHASE 0
(2 INWARD CURRENTS)
Definition
NA FLUX THROUGH F-TYPE CHANNEL AND CA++ MOVING IN THROUGH T CA++ CHANNELS CAUSE DEPOLARIZATION TO THRESHOLD

AFTER THRESHOLD, DEPOL DUE TO LARGE INCREASE IN MEMBRANE POTENTIAL OF L TYPE CA++ CHANNELS
Term
NODE AP PHASE 1
Definition
ROUND AT TOP
DOESN'T REALLY HAVE DISTINCT
Term
NODE AP PHASE 2
Definition
ROUND DOESN'T QUITE HAVE ONE
Term
NODE AP PHASE 3!!
Definition
DUE TO REOPENING OF POTASSIUM CHANNELS AND
CLOSING OF L TYPE CALCIUM CHANNELS
CAUSES REPOLARIZATION

ALSO MAXIMUM DIASTOLIC HYPERPOLARIZATION OCCURS DUE TO THIS.
Term
CONDUCTING CELL ACTION POTENTIAL
Definition
MASHUP OF OTHER (NODE AND CONTRACTILE) CELLS

DRIFT LIKE NODAL CELL DUE TO I_F
I_CA GETS TO THRESHOLD
ONCE THERE (0 PHASE) SUPERFAST DUE TO NA CHANNEL ACTIVATION
SLIGHT DIP IN PHASE ONE DUE TO NA INACTIVATION
MORE GRADUAL HILL DUE TO SLOW CLOSING L TYPE CA CHANNELS
AND THEN IMMEDIATE DROP PHASE 3 DUE TO INCREASED K CONDUCTANCE
DRIFT
