cardiac Flashcards
pericardium layers
fibrous
serous
what chamber is hard to see in an anterior view
left atrium
pacemaker cell resting membrane potential and maintenace
-70 and maintained by potassium
funny channel
when cell is hyperpolarised it opens to allow sodium in to hit threshold
what occurs at threshold for pacemaker cells
voltage gated calcium channels open
after depolarisation in pacemaker cells
calcium inactivated and potassium open (voltage sensitive)
atrial myocytes depolarisation
come from threshold being met through gap junctions leading to sodium channels opening
calcium plateau
not sufficient to contract, instead activates calcium induced calcium release
calcium removal
pumped back by SERCA
blood vessel layers
adventitia, media, intima
hydrostatic pressure
forces fluid out of the capillary
osmotic pressure
movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid into the capillary
