37
Q

SA Node

A

Pacemaker cells in the superior right atrium that normally sets the pace for the heart

38
Q

Plateau phase

A

Cardiac action potential during which clacium ions enter cardiac muscl cell as potassium ions exit the cell

39
Q

P-wave

A

Depolarization of the atria

40
Q

T-wave

A

Represents repolarization of the ventricles

41
Q

Afterload

A

Right and left ventricles must overcome in order to eject blood into thier respective arteries

42
Q

Frank starling law

A

ventrcular muscle cell of the heart contracts more forefully when it is stretched

43
Q

Norepinephrine

A

Neurotransmitter released by neurons of sympathetic NS and also released in small amounts by adrenal medulla

44
Q

Heart sounds

A

Noises heard during auscultation of the heart that are caused by vibrations of the ventricular wall when the vales close

45
Q

Metarterioles

A

Smallest arterioles that directly feed capillaries in many tissue

Muscular ridges on the interior surface of the anterior artia (Right atrium)

50
Q
