Q

explain how blood gets from extremities and reox then back out

A

from extremities venules go back into right arium through vena cava, then go back through pulm circult

Q

describe the structure of cardiac muscles

A
17
Q

describe “syncytial” network interconnecting of cardiac muscle

A

individual cells branch off

18
Q

what is the role of desmosomes and gap junctions in the heart

A
19
Q

do mitochondira take up significant space in cardiac muscles

A
20
Q

describe the process of excitation contraction coupling in the heart

A

action potential enters the cell
voltage gated ca channels open
ca entrance induces ca release from sr due to ryr
ca spark
summer spark = signal
ca and troponin = contraction
ca unbinds, relaxation
caatpase ca back into the sr
ncx tranports ca out
na back out

21
Q

what happens to actin and myosin with and without calcium

A

what is an action potential

A

what happens during the upstroke phase of an action potential

what happens during the downstroke phase of an ap

A
25
Q

how do action potentials go through heart tissue

A

Q

how are cardiac aps different from skeletal ones

A
27
Q

what happens during a cardiac ap

A
28
Q

what happens during the refractory period of cardiac muscle

A
29
Q

why is there such a difference between skeletal and cardiac refractory periods? why is this important

A
30
Q

why do we need long cardiac refractory periods

A
31
Q

how do cardiac na channels get inactivated and reset

A
32
Q

differences between skel and cardiac muscle aps
