Q

Describe the exitoconductive system of the heart.

A
  1. SAN: located in the upper wall of the right atria it is the pacemaker, it depolarises about 70 to 80 times a minute and establishes the sinus rythm.
  2. AVN in the interatrial space, it receives signals from the SAN.
  3. Hiss bundle: receives signals from the AVN, consists of 2 branches.
  4. Purkynje fibres: causes ventricle contraction.

Q

What is arrhythmia?

A

It is when the heart is beating irregularly

17
Q

What is fibrillation how to solve it?

A

It is when the heart is beating fast and irregularly solving it is through defibrillation/ strong electric shock

18
Q

How many time per minute does the heart beat?

A

70-75 times

19
Q

How long is each cardiac cycle?

A

1 second

20
Q

What is the average volume bataie? Define and value.

A

It is the amount of blood pumped during each systole, 70ml in adults

21
Q

Whats the average cardiac debit definition and value?

A

Its the volume de bataie measured per minute, its 5250 ml/min

22
Q

What is a murmur how can it be determined?

A

It is an abnormal heart sound, can be a valve disease, diagnosed through a stethoscope.

23
Q

What is tachycardia?

A

Its fast pulse and fast heart rate.

24
Q

Whats bradycardia?

A

Its low pulse low heart rate

25
Q

Whats the volume of blood in circulation?

A

5L

26
Q

What is the normal systolic pressure? What bt diastolic?

A

120 mmhg, 80 mmhg

27
Q

What arteries do we measure heart beat per minute/ pulse from?

A

Radial artery, popliteal, carotid.

28
Q

What is shock, what are its 3 types

A

Shock is when the cardiac system cant provide sufficient O2 +nutrients = death.
1. Hypovelemic: a used by blood loss can be helped with blood transfusion
2. Septic: cause by harmful microorganisms
3. Obstructive: caused by blood flow obstruction such as by a blood clot

29
Q

What are some causes of shock?

A

Dehydration, excessive sweating, hemoragie, prolonged v’ing

30
Q

What are some symptoms of shock?

A

Sweating, loss of consciousness, disorientation, low blood pressure, tachycardia, low cardiac debit.

  6. Sup mezenteric, small intestine
  7. Renal arteries; kidney
  8. Common iliac; lower limbs
