Q

Initiation and spread of an action potential through the cardiac conduction system

A
  • an action potential is created in the SA node. spreads through gap junctions and moves to the AV node
  • action potential is delayed at the AV node before passing to the AV bundles
  • the AV bundle conducts an action potential to the left and right bundle branches and then into the Purkinje fibers
  • the action potential is spread by gap junctions throughout the ventricles

Q

Electrical events of cardiac muscle cells

A

-Fast voltage-gated Na channels open, entering the cell. Membrane potential goes from -90 to 30+MV and they close
- K+voltage gated cells move out of the cell and Ca moves in the cell, causing no electrical change called a plateau.
- Ca closes but K stays open, allowing the membrane potential to move from 30+ mV back to -90mV

79
Q

Renin- angiotensin system

A

kidney receptors detect low blood pressure or are stimulated by sympathetic division and renin is released
