Study These Flashcards
A

Left Coronary Artery (LCA)

20
Q

Depolarization of a cardiocyte is due to the opening of which channels?

Study These Flashcards
A

Sodium channels

21
Q

List all of the structures considered to be apart of the cardiac conduction system

Study These Flashcards
A

SA Node, AV node, and Purkinje Fibers

22
Q

A spontaneously developing local potential that generates action potentials in the SA node is called?

Study These Flashcards
A

Pacemaker potential

23
Q

A recording of all nodal and myocardial action potentials in the heart?

24
Q

What is the relationship between pressure and volume?

Study These Flashcards
A

They are inversely proportional

25
What accounts for the movement of the heart valves during the cardiac cycle?
Pressure changes within the chambers
26
What vein collects venous drainage from the anterior side of the heart and travels alongside the anterior interventricular artery?
Great Cardiac vein
27
The semilunar valves will open when the pressure within the _____ exceeds the pressure within the ____
Ventricles, great arteries
28
When the ventricles are relaxed and their pressure is low, the _____ valves are open
Atrioventricular valves (AV valves)
29
The process of listening to sounds made by the body is called?
Auscultation
30
As a heart chambers contracts, what happens to the pressure of the fluid within it?
It increases
31
The closing of the AV valves produces which of the heart sounds?
The first (lubb)
32
The heart valves open or close in response to changes in the ____ of the heart chambers
Pressure
33
Closing of the aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves produces which heart sound?
The second (duh)
34
The amount of blood ejected by a ventricle is ____ the amount of blood received during ventricular filling
The same as or equal
35
If the volume of blood pumped by the right side of the heart is less than that of the left, what happens?
Systemic Edema, blood backs up in the pulmonary arteries and backlogs the systemic system
36
Which autonomic system(s) innervates the heart?
Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve systems
37
What term refers to the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle in one minute?
Cardiac Output
38
What is the term for the steady background firing of the vagus nerve to the heart?
Vagal tone
39
Which electrolyte has the greatest effect on the heart? Why?
Potassium, because it affects the membrane potential. If there’s too much (Hyperkalemia) the cardiomyocytes stay depolarized and become less excitable. If there’s too little (hypokalemia) the membrane is too neg and it is hard to depolarize the membrane
40
If the volume of blood pumped by the left side of the heart is less than that of the right, what happens?
Pulmonary edema
41
An increase in stimulation by what branch of the nervous system lowers the heart rate?
Parasympathetic
42
The Frank-Starling law of the heart states that stroke volume is proportional to what?
End-diastolic volume SV (equivalent sign) EDV
43
The pacemaker that determines the heart rate
SA Node (Sinuatrial Node)
44
The electrical gateway to the ventricles
AV Node
45
Signals leave the AV Node and descend along this structure to the ventricles
AV Bundle
46
Distributes the electrical excitation to the myocardium of the ventricles
The purkinje fibers
47
Type AB+ Blood
No antibodies, the universal acceptor, rarest blood type in US
