CARDIO 3 Flashcards
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP how does resting mem potential of ventricular myocyte differ from resting mem potential of slow type AP
flat
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is required in ventricular myocytes to bring mem potential to threshold
stimulus
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is resting mem of ventricular myocytes most permeable to
K
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is resting mem potential of ventricular myocytes close to
K eq potential
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens during depol
- Na channels open
- Na moves into cell
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is rate of depol in ventricular myocytes
fast
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP why is depol in ventricular myocytes fast
Na moves into cell fast
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens after rapid depol
notch
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is notch
partial repol
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is responsible for notch
K channels that open transiently
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens after notch
plateau
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is responsible for plateau
- opening of L type Ca channels (Ca in)
- opening of K channels (K out)
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens as plateau continues
- L type Ca channels begin to close
2. more K channels open
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what are 5 phases of ventricular myocyte AP
- resting
- depol
- notch
- plateau
- repol
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens to Na permeability when fast voltage gated Na channels close and become inactivated
mem permeability to Na drops
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what K currents correspond to (1) resting (2) notch (3) repol
- resting ==> inward rectifying current
- notch ==> transient outward current
- plateau + repol ==> delayed rectifying current
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what channels correspond to K currents
- resting, inward rectifying current, iK1
- notch, transient outward, ito
- plateau + repol , delayed rectifying, IKr and IKs
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what happens when ito channels open
slight increase in K permeability
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is the function of IKr channel opening
maintaining plateau
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP wha tis the funciton of IKs channel opening
repolarizing
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is the function of iK1 channels
- setting resting potential
2. maintaining resting potential
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP when does iK1 current increase
when returning to resting mem potential (high iK1 permeability)
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP when does iK1 current decrease
when depolarizing (low iK1 permeability)
VENTRICULAR MUSCLE CELL AP what is responsible for closing L type Ca channels during plateau phase
