CH 19 Heart Part 2 Flashcards
Vagal tone function?
Keeps a slow resting heart rate 75BPM
What is the pacemaker potential in nodal cells a result of?
Sodium inflow
What is an action potential of nodal cells due to?
Calcium ion inflow
What is repolarization of nodal cells due to?
Potassium outflow
What role does the medulla oblongata have on the heart?
It modifies the heart rate
What is depolarization (action potential) of nodal cells due to?***
calcium ion inflow
What is nodal cell repolarization due to?***
Potassium ion outflow
What is depolarization of cardiac cells due to?***
Large amounts of fast sodium inflow
What is plateau of cardiac cells due to?***
Slow calcium inflow at the same time of potassium outflow
What is repolarization of cardiac cells due to?***
Potassium outflow
Can the heart go under tetany, why or why not?***
No, because of its long refractory period
What happens if you have to much potassium in cardiac cells?
- Repolarization cant occur
2. Potassium will remain in the cell and cause it to continuously contract until the cell gives out (lethal injection)
Cardiac cycle order?***
- Atrial contraction and ventricle filling
- Isovolumetric contraction
- Ventricular ejection
- Isovolumetric relaxation
- Atrial relaxation and ventricular filling
What is a systole?
Contraction
What is a diastole?
Relaxation
