Q

Which (of the 3) muscle cell types contain gap junctions? What is the physiologic importance of gap junctions?

Q

How can the heart increase its contractility? (Hint: recall the drawings on the board that
contrasted the development of force in skeletal versus cardiac muscle.)

Q

What are adrenergic receptors? Where are the different subtypes primarily located?

21
Q

What are the 2 types of excitable cells in the heart?

22
Q

What does the property of automaticity mean, with respect to the heart?

23
Q

Can you recognize the difference between an action potential in a conducting cells versus an action potential in a contractile cell?

24
Q

For the cardiac muscle contractile cell, what accounts for the plateau portion of the action potential?

25
List the normal sequence of conduction in the heart.
26
Where is longest delay in conduction through the heart? What part of the ECG can we measure to determine this delay?
27
Describe excitation-contraction coupling within a cardiac contractile cell to your friend.
28
What causes: the P wave? QRS complex? T wave?
29
Where is atrial repolarization visualized on the ECG trace?
30
On an ECG, What is the time duration of each large square? Each small square?
31
What is the importance of the PR-interval? What is the maximal normal length of the PR interval? Know precisely where to measure the PR interval.
32
On a 12-lead ECG, How many electrodes are there? Where are they located? What is a “lead”? Write out how to perform a stepwise evaluation of an ECG strip.
33
state what ST segment elevation or depression indicates
34
identify whether a presented rhythm is normal or abnormal, given the patient context; and, whether the rhythm is survivable (i.e., beyond a few minutes)
35
On a 12-lead ECG, be able to: calculate the heart rate determine the rhythm identify all the normal and abnormal rhythms we reviewed in class and in Ch 12 of the textbook
36
When is a cardiac pacemaker indicated?
37
What is the distinction between a cardiac pacemaker and an implantable cardioverter- defibrillator (ICD)?

What key characteristics do veins and arteries have in common?
39
List 2 characteristics that distinguish arteries and veins.
40
Where (which vessel type) is TPR primarily determined? How is this resistance regulated?
41
List 3 functions of the lymphatic system.
42
Where does lymph from the right side of the face and thorax and the right UE drain into? Where does this lymph drainage return to the venous system?
