QRS complex

23
Q

component of the electrocardiogram that represents the repolarization of the ventricles

A

24
Q

special paddles to apply a charge to the heart from an external electrical source in an attempt to establish a normal sinus rhythm; effectively stops the heart so that the SA node can trigger a normal conduction cycle.

A

External automated defibrillator

25
Q

period of time between the onset of atrial contraction (atrial systole) and ventricular relaxation (ventricular diastole)

A

Cardiac cycle

26
Q

period of time when the heart muscle is relaxed and the chambers fill with blood

A

Diastole

27
Q

period of time when the heart muscle is contracting

A

Systole

28
Q

unusual heart sound detected by auscultation; typically related to septal or valve defects

A

Murmur

29
Q

sound created by the closing of the atrioventricular valves during ventricular contraction

A

Lub sounds (S1)

30
Q

sound of the closing of the semilunar valves during ventricular diastole

A

Dub sound (S2)

31
Q

What is the formula for cardiac output (CO)?

A

HR x SV

32
Q

What is the relationship between exercise and heart rate?

A

Exercise increases heart rate

33
Q

What are the 2 cardiovascular centers?

A

Cardioinhibitory and cardioaccelerator

34
Q

autonomic reflex that responds to stretch receptors in the atria that send impulses to the cardioaccelerator area to increase HR when venous flow into the atria increases

A

Atrial reflex

35

autonomic reflex in which the cardiac centers monitor signals from the baroreceptor stretch receptors and regulate heart function based on blood flow

A

Baroreceptor reflex

36
Q

series of autonomic reflexes that enable the cardiovascular centers to regulate heart function based upon sensory information from a variety of visceral sensors

A

Cardiac reflexes

37
Q
