Q

What is excess blood sodium levels known as?

A

Hypernatremia

Inhibits calcium transport into cardiac muscles weakening heart contractions

19
Q

What happens when potassium ions are added?

A

Stops atrial contraction completely

Ventricular contractions are weaker

20
Q

What is excess blood potassium levels known as?

A

Hyperkalemia

Extra K lowers the resting potential and interferes depolarization

22
Q

What happens with an electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve?

A

Heart slows down and weakens

Eventually heart stops but then begins on its own

23
Q

What is it called when the vagus nerve stops the heart and then starts again?

A

Vagal Escape
