what is the inflammation of the pericardial sac
pericarditis
what happens when one has pericarditis
- painful friction rub b/w pericardial layers
- viral or bacterial infection
what is the innermost and thinnest wall of the heart that comes in contact with blood
endocardium/ endothelium
what is endocarditis
infection in the endocardium
what happens when one has endocarditis
- sudden heart attack and then death
which heart wall layer has cardiac muscle
myocardium
which layer has intercalated discs
myocardium
desmosomes and gap junctions make up
intercalated discs
function of gap junctions
- signals pass through fast
what type of junction is an adhering junction
desmosomes
function of desmosomes
- hold cells together
- handle mechanical stress
- transfer signals fast without heart rupturing
epicardium is the
thin outer layer of the heart
- surrounded by pericardal sac
function of secretory lining of pericardial sac
lubricates heart
what allows the heart to remain properly positioned
tough, fibrous covering of pericardial sac
name of heart contracting itself
autorythmicity
which cells are 99% of cardiac muscle cells
contractile cells
do contractile cells initiate ap
no
function contractile cells
- mechanical work/ pumping
which cardiac cells make up less than 1% of the cells and set the electrical activity/ pace of heart
autorythmic cells
do autorythmic cells contract
no
location of sinoatrial node
r.a, near superior vena cava
which node is the pacemaker of the heart than triggers contractile cells
SA node
SA node beats/ min is
70-80
which node is located at the base of R.A near septum
AV node
slient / latent pacemakers are
AV nodes and bundles of his and Purkinje fibers
what node sets the beat for 40-60 beats / min
AV node
Bundles of His location
originate from AV node and enter interventricular spetum
beats / min of Bundles of His and purkinje fibers
2-40
where does the 100 msec delay occur in the internodal pathway of excitation and why
AV node, to allow ventricles to fill in
function of interatrial spread of excitation
- ensures both atria become depolarized simultaneously
when does a 30-sec delay occur
- sa node to av node (internodal)
- sa node to sa node (interatrail)
- av node to bundle of his (internodal)
complete heart block is
when conducting tissue b/w atria and ventricle is damaged
what is dysfunctioning in complete heart block
SA node
50b/ min occur during
complete heart bock
how does one feel during complete heart block
long-lasting fatigue
when does AV node take over
complete heart block
abnormally excited area, initiates a premature ap that spreads through the heart occurs when
all nodes except of pf are working
what are the beats/ min of Pf during ectopic focus
140b/ min
when does the ventricle contract before the atria
ectopic focus
what is the resting membrane potential for pacemaker cells
- 60 mV
slow depolarization =
pacemaker potential
when does slow depolarization b/f depolarize
pacemaker activity
what channel is activated during slight hyperpolarization
If (current, funny)
function of If
- increases Na and K permeability
why is If also considered HCN (Hyperpolirzation- activated Cyclic Nucleotide)
- cuz it is activated upon hyperpolarization
what causes slow depolarization
Ca2+ transient channels, Na and K influx, and slow closing K channels
what is the Ca2+ transient channels are also known as
t- type ca2+ channels
when do t- type ca2+ channels open
- open at lower membrane potential
-
what helps cause more depolarization and helps it reach the threshold
Ca2+
- 40mV is ___ for pacemaker activity
threshold
what is peak for pacemaker activity
0mV
function of L-type Ca2+
- causes the rising phase in pacemaker activity
- bring in more Ca2+
what channel is slower than Na+ channeled cells
L-type Ca2+
function of K+ in pacemaker activity
causes repolarization
when is there a prolonged refractory period like ap
- electrical activity in contractile cells
is there summation in contractile cells
no
-80 mV is the resting potential for
contractile cells
what causes the rising phase in contractile cells
I Na, current Na
+30 mV is ___ for contractile cells
peak
what causes peak/ rising phase in contractile cells
Na increase
I Ca 2+ L function in contractile cells
plateau, long lasting
- balance of ions in and out
what is the delayed rectifier
its the current K increase
what does the current K/ delayed rectifier do
falling phase / increase K+ efflux
how long is the plateau/ refractory period + function
250 sec, allows blood to fill in
Electrocargiogram function
- see how the heart is behaving
- shows entire cardiac cycle
- record of electric activity that reaches the surface of body cuz of depolarization and repolarization
where are leads of ECG placed
- R arm, L Arm, L leg
P wave is responsible for
atrial depolarization
what does p wave determine
rthym, rate, block
what refers to the AV nodal delay of 100 msec
PR segment
significance of QRS complex
ventricle depolarization (pump blood out) - mask atrial repolarization
what is it called when the ventricles are contracting and relaxing?
ST segment
what is a section called when contractile cells are in plateau and ventricles have completely depolarized

when are ventricles relaxing and filling with blood
during the TP interval
analyzing rate is
determined from distance b/w 2 consquetives ORS
tachycardia is
high heart rate of more than 100 beats/ min
which segment is looked at to determine tachycardia
P to P
top of QRS to the next R determines
