16
Q

What is the firing rate of the SA node

A

60 - 100 per minute

17
Q

What is the true pacemaker of the heart

A

SA node

18
Q

What is occurring during the P-wave

A

Atrial depolarization

19
Q

What is occurring during the QRS complex

A

Ventricular depolarizaion

Atrial repolarization

20
Q

What is occurring during the T-wave

A

Ventricular repolarization

21
Q

What is occurring when the ventricles during diastole

A

Relaxation

Filling with blood

22
Q

Why don’t the atria and ventricles contract at the same time

A

The atria are filling the ventricles

We want the ventricles to be filled as much as possible, so we can transport blood efficiently

23
Q

What is stroke volume

A

The amount of blood leaving the left ventricle during one cardiac cycle
End disatolic volume - end systolic volume

24
Q

What is ejection fraction

A

The percentage of blood that is ejected from the left ventricle during one cardiac cycle

25
Q

What is cardiac ouptut

A

Stroke volume x heart rate

26
Q

What causes the first heart sound

A

A-V valves closing

27
Q

During isovolumetric contraction/relaxation which valves are open

A

None of them

28
Q

Increasing preload does what to stroke volume

A

Increases it

29
Q

Decreasing afterload does what to stroke volume

A

Increases it

30
Q

What generates systolic pressure

A

Left ventricular contraction

31
Q

What generates diastolic pressure

A

Elastic recoil of arteries

32
Q

What does SNS activity due to the SA node

A

Increases SA node firing by increasing sodium permeability (Epi/Norepi)

33
Q

What does PNS activity due to the SA node

A

Decreases SA node firing by increasing potassium permeability (Acetylcholine)
