Animals (2)- Human heart Flashcards
whats the sa node
pace maker, sends electrical signals to AV node
whats the av node
receives signal from sa node
transmit signal to bundle of his ( specialized fibers)
whats the purkinjea fibers
initiate contraction of left and right ventricle cells
What creates the LUB in lub-dub
AV valve closes, blood travels from atria to ventricles
what creates DUB in lub-dub
semi lunar valves closing, blood from ventricles to arteries
what does the electrocardiogram do
record voltage changes produced by nerve signals
whats the Pwave
begins when SA node fires and atria contracts
whats the QRS complex
begins when AV node stimulates ventricles to contract AV valve (Lub)
Whats the Twave
Ventricles relax and semi lunar valves close (dub)
systole phase
ventricles contract- force blood out of pulmonary arteries and aorta. Systolic pressure can be calcuated
Diastole phase
ventricles relax, pressure decrease in pulmonary arteries. Diastolic pressure can be calculated
how is blood pressure measured
SPHYGMOMANOMETER
whats the fromula for blood pressure
systolic pressure over diastolic pressure SP/DP. Average 120/80
what is cardiac output
the volume of blood pumped out by the heart (ml/min). will tell us the 02 levels being del to body and total muscle performance
whats HR
heart rate+ heart beats per minute
