Q

HOW ARE THE SYMPATHETIC NERVES CONNECTED TO THE HEART?

A

Q

WHY DO INTERCALATED DISCS JOIN TO MYOCYTES?

A

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

16
Q
A

VENTRICULAR FIBRILATION

CHAOTIC HEART SIGNALS CAUSE VENTRICLES TO FIBRILATE AND CANNOT PUMP BLOOD

17
Q

WHAT IS THE ACTION POTENTIAL THRESHOLD FOR NODE POTENTIALS?

A

-40

18
Q

HOW IS THE ACTION POTENTIAL THRESHOLD REACHED?

A

SLOW RELEASE OF SODIUM IONS INTO THE CELL

19
Q

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ACTION POTENTIAL THRESHOLD IS REACHED?

A

ACTION POTENTIAL TRIGGERED AND FAST CALCIUM INFLOW INTO THE CELL

20
Q

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE REPOLARISATION PAHSE OF ACTION POTENTIAL?

A

FAST POTASSIUM OUTFLOW OUT OF THE CELL UNTILL ACTION POTENTIAL HITS -60

21
Q

WHAT CREATES A HEARTBEST?

A

EACH REPOLARISATION

22
Q
A

ATRIAL DEPOLARISATION BEGINS

23
Q
A

ATRIAL DEPLOARIZATION COMPLETE (ATRIA CONTRACTED)

24
Q
A

VENTRICLES BEIGN TO DEPOLARIZE A APEX - ATRIA REPOLARIZED (ATRIA RELAXED)

25
Q
A

VENTRICULAR DEPOLARIZATION COMPLETED (VENTRICLES CONTRACTED)

26
Q
A

VENTRICLES BEGIN TO REPOLARIZE AT APEX

27
Q
A

VENTRICULAR REPOLARIZETION COMPLETE (VENTRICLES RELAXED)
