Q

The SA node sends out an ________________ every ______ seconds

A

Initiatesexcitation impulse , 0.85

17
Q

Each heartbeat (cardiac cycle) consists of:

A

Time: Atria: Ventricle:

  1. 15sec. Systole Diastole
  2. 30sec. Diastole Systole
  3. 40sec. Diastole Diastole

0.85sec Average time of 70 bpm

18
Q

The QRS….

A

Is the contraction of the ventricles as they drive the blood out into their respective arteries

19
Q

The T….

A

Marks the recovery of the ventricles(restoration of the normal electrical conditions, preparing them for the next contraction)

20
Q

The initiatiatesexcitation impulse sent by the SA node, causes both _________ to contract.

A

Atria

21
Q

Why does ventricles have a stronger and longer contraction?

A

Because blood must be pumped throughout the body

22
Q

The beat of the heart is

A

Intrinsic

23
Q

What is the order of the closing of the valves (lub-dubb)?

A

First the atrioventricular, than the semi lunar

24
Q

The impulses sent from the AV node down the purkinje fibres cause what contraction?

A

Causing both ventricles to contract

25
Q

The nodal Tissue has both….

A

Muscular and nervous tissue characteristics

26
Q

luv-dubb is due to…

A

The closing of valves

27
Q

Systole

A

Contractions of the heart

28
Q

Contractions of the heart is a ________ Step process

A

Two

29
Q

What registers the voltage changes across the surface of the heart as it beats?

A

And electrocardiogram

30
Q

When the impulse reaches the AV node an impulse is sent from ______________ , down ________________

A

From AV node, down the Purkinje fibres

31
Q

The P curve….

A

Records the simultaneous contraction of the atria as they drive the blood out into their ventricles

32
Q

Lub-dubb

A

Sound of the heart

33
Q

The initiatesexcitation impulse( SA) is sent to______________ via _______________.

A

The AV node, via the bundle of His
