Coronary circulation and conduction Flashcards
what what can cause cells to beat out of sync
specialised cell death in SA and AV node
SA node
sinoatrial node
AV node
atrioventricular node
what can cause specialised cell death in SA and AV node
blocked coronary vessel supply
what happens if AV node is damaged (2)
heart block, SA activity can’t reach ventricles
what can be used to directly electrically stimulate ventricular cardiomyocytes
pacemaker
pacemaker elements (3)
pacemaker pulse generator, lead in right atrium, lead in right ventricle
what branch runs down into the left ventricle for contraction
left bundle branch
conduction system elements (7)
SA node, AV node, bundle of His, left bundle branch, right bundle branch, septomarginal trabecula, purkinje fibres, papillary muscles
papillary muscle names (5)
anterolateral, posteromedial, anterior, posterior, septal
papillary muscle attached to the septomarginal trabecula
anterior
what is the SA node
intrinsic pacemaker
intrinsic heart rate approximately
70 bpm
another name for the bundle of His
atrioventricular bundle
AV node feature
can beat by itself
another name for septomarginal trabecula
moderator band
where does the coronary sinus enter into
right atrium
where is the SA node loacated
top of crista terminalis
