Cardiac muscle and conduction WK8 L1 Flashcards
WHAT DOES THE SYMPATHETIC NERVE SUPPLY DO FOR THE HEART?
CAN RISE HEART RATE TO 230 BPM -
HOW ARE THE SYMPATHETIC NERVES CONNECTED TO THE HEART?
UPPER THORASIC SPINAL CHORD THROUGH SYMPATHETIC CHAIN TO CARDIAC NERVES - DIRECTLY TO VENTRICULAR MYOCARDIUM
WHAT DOES THE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVE SUPPLY DO FOR THE HEART?
SLOWS HEART RATE TO 70-80 BPM -
HOW ARE THE PARASYMPATHETIC NERVES CONNECTED TO THE HEART?
RIGHT VAGUS NERVE TO SA NODE - LEFT VAGUS NERVE TO AV NODE - NO VAGAL INNERVATION TO VENTRICULAR MYOCARDIUM
WHAT ARE MYOCYTES?
SHORT BRANCHES CELLS WITH ONE CENTRAL NUCELUES
WHAT DOES SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM AND T-TUBULES DO?
ALLOW THE FLOW OF Ca2+ FROM EXTRACELLULAR FLUID
WHY DO INTERCALATED DISCS JOIN TO MYOCYTES?
INTERDIGITATING FOLDS FOR INCREASED SURFACE AREA - HOLDS CELLS TOGETHER FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT - ELECTRICAL JUNCTION FOR GAP JUNCTION TO ALLOW IONS TO FLOW BETWEEN CARDIOMYOCYTES - FATIGUE RESISTANT
WHAT IS SYSTOLE?
VENTRICULAR CONTRACTION
WHAT IS DIASTOLE?
VENTRICULAR RELAXATION
HOW IS THE SINUS RYTHM SET?
BY THE SA NODE
HOW IS THE NODAL RYTHM SET?
BY THE AV NODE
NORMAL SYNUUS RYTHM
SECOND DEGREE (PARTIAL) BLOCK
DELAY IN CONDUCTION BETWEEN ATRIAL AND VENTRICAL
ATRIAL FIBRILATION
SIGNALS IN ATRIA ARE CHAOTIC - AV NODE THEN BOMBARDED WITH SINGALS TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO THE VENTRICLES
VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA
FASTER CONTRACTION OF VENTRICLES THAT DOES NOT ALLOW VENTRICLES TO FILL AND SQUEEZE ENOUGH BLOOD TO BODY
