Cardiovascular Physiology Flashcards
A 1
Smooth muscle contracion
Control conduits for blood flow
Arterioles
B2
Smooth muscle relaxation
Veins contain what receptors
A1
What is Ohm’s law
Q(flow)= ^P/R
Associated with high reynold’s number
Turbulent flow
Turbulent flow is seen in
Anemia

Atrial depolarizatiob
P wave
Av node conduction
PR sement
Conduction time/ velocity through the av node
PR interval
Ventricular depolarization
QRS
Ventricular repolarization
T wave
Period of depolarization+ repolarization of ventricles
QT interval
Plateau of ventricular action potential
ST segment
Ventricular action potential: Na influx
