Q

located in the interatrial septum; step__,
Function?

A
  1. atrioventricular (AV) node,

action potential slows considerably, providing time for the atria to empty their blood into the ventricles

Q
  1. atrioventricular (AV) bundle; aka?

Q

3 waves

A

P, QRS, T wave

19
Q

is a small upward deflection on the ECG; it represents _______ depolarization.

A
  1. P wave; reps: atrial depolarization
20
Q

Causes contraction

A
  1. Depolarization; atria contracts
21
Q

Which complex represents the onset of ventricular depolarization when the ventricles start to contract?

A
  1. QRS complex
22
Q

a dome-shaped upward deflection that indicates ventricular repolarization and occurs just before the ventricles start to relax .
Which complex?

A
  1. The T wave complex
23
Q

Includes all of the events associated with one heartbeat.

A

Cardiac Cycle

24
Q

What happens in normal cardia cycle?

A

the two atria contract while the two ventricles __RELAX_______; then, while the two ventricles contract, the two atria __relax_____.

25
Q

Term refers to the phase of contraction:

A

Systole

26
Q

Diastole =

A

Relaxation

27
Q

A cardiac cycle consists of systole and diastole of both atria plus systole and diastole of both ventricles.
-T/F?

A

True

28
Q

Cardiac cycle three phases:

A
  1. Relaxation period
  2. Atrial systole
  3. Ventricular systole
29
Q

begins at the ENDS of a cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax and all four chambers are in diastole

A
  1. Relaxation period
30
Q

Atrial systole:

A
  1. Contraction of atria
31
Q

Ventricular systole:

A
  1. Contraction of ventricles
32
Q

Sound of the heartbeat comes primarily from the closure of the valves:

A

Heart sounds

33
Q

is a long, booming sound from the AV valves closing after ventricular systole begins.

A

Lubb- known as first sound

34
Q

TWO AV VALVES ARE:

A

TRICUSPID AND BICUSPID

35
Q

The second sound, a short, sharp sound known as? From?

A

Dupp: from semilunar valves closing

36
Q

VOLUME of blood ejected per minute from the left ventricle into the AORTA is called?

A

Cardiac output

37
Q

Cardiac output determined by:

A
  1. Stroke Volume
  2. Heart Rate
38
Q

Three factors regulate stroke volume:

A
  1. The degree of stretch:
    Frank- Sterling Law
  2. The forcefulness of contraction
  3. The pressure required to eject blood ( more-slide 57)
39
Q

Autonomic Regulation of Heart Rate - the “nervous system regulation” of the heart originates in the cardiovascular (CV) center in

A

Medulla Oblongata

40
Q

Other heart regulators include

A

the cardiac accelerator nerves, vagus (X) nerves, baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors

41
Q

Other Factors in Heart Rate Regulation

A

age, gender, physical fitness, and body temp

42
Q

Increased body temperature (fever or strenuous exercise) increase OR decrease heart rate?

A

increase

43
Q

Decreased body temperature decreases OR increases heart rate ?

A

Decreases
