Chapter 16 Flashcards
QRS waves
represents ventricular depolarization
PR interval
corresponds to time of atrial contraction
QT interval
corresponds to time of ventricular contraction
P wave
represents atrial depolarization
T wave
represents ventricular repolarization
Place in order the events responsible for the cycling of pacemaker cells:
Step 1
“F” channels are opened by voltage moving toward hyperpolarization
Place in order the events responsible for the cycling of pacemaker cells:
Step 2
Ca2+ “T” channels open upon entry of Na+; “F” channels close
Place in order the events responsible for the cycling of pacemaker cells:
Step 3
Ca2+ “L” channels open (for about 150 msec) upon entry of Ca2+
Place in order the events responsible for the cycling of pacemaker cells:
Step 4
K+ delayed rectifier channels open after a delay upon entry of Ca2+
Place in order the events responsible for the cycling of pacemaker cells:
Step 5
Ca2+ “L” channels close and K+ delayed rectifier channels close slowly
Stimulus: reflex response
Heart rate increases when
carotid sinus pressure decreases
Stimulus: reflex response
Heart rate decreases when
carotid sinus pressure increases
Stimulus: reflex response
Blood vessels constrict when
carotid sinus pressure decreases
Stimulus: reflex response
baroreceptor activity increases when
carotid sinus pressure increases
Stimulus: reflex response
baroreceptor activity decreases when
Carotid sinus pressure decreases

Ventricular relaxation
Blood is drawn out of the atria and veins
Ventricular relaxation
Blood is pushed out of the ventricles
Ventricular contraction
Blood is drawn into the ventricles
Ventricular relaxation
