Q

Where are the electrons hanging out, and where are they going to go during repolarization? What kind of deflection does this make?

A

They are on the negative charges outside the cell, and they are going to go towards the positive tissue that just started repolarizing. This creates a negative deflection.

42
Q

The most negative reading on the voltage meter will be when

A

half the cell is repolarized, and there is a ton of electron current repolarizing the cell.

43
Q

A fully depolarized tissue, and the repolarization starts on the right side of the cylinder, where is the electron current flowing?

A

Electron current is flowing to the right, cause the outside charge at the beginning of repolarization becomes positive, and the electrons move towards it, in the direction of positive electrode.

44
Q

A

Deep

44
Q

when we repolarize ventricular muscle, it starts and ends where?

A

Q

The action potentials start in the ____ part of the ventricles, before the ____ layers are depolarized.

A

inside, outside.

45
Q

So, what is the order of depolarization and repolarization for ventricular muscle?

A

Depolarization starts in deep parts of ventricles and ends in outside. Repolarization starts in superficial (epicardium) and ends in deep (endocardium/subendocardium).

This would be left to right on drawn example, then right to left for repolarization.

56

62
Q

SA node heart rate

64
Q

Slope of phase 4 in SA node

A

hefty slope, happens really quick, much faster than purkinje fibers

65
Q

When is HCN channel in SA nodal tissue activated? Do they all open together?

A

When the cell resets after AP, we go back to VRm, which opens up HCN channels. Some open right away as we hit VRm, some take awhile to open up.

More HCN channels open with more cAMP

66
Q

HCN channels in SA nodal tissue are non-specific to

A

cations such as sodium (primarily) and calcium (secondarily), very little potassium.

67
Q

What is the slope in phase 4 of SA nodal tissue due to?

A

It’s the “change” happening in permeability of cell to ions, more HCN channels opening.

68
Q

Primary ion for HCN channels in SA nodal tissue

A

Sodium

69
Q

Secondary ion for HCN channels in SA nodal tissue

A

Calcium

70
Q

What does HCN stand for?

A

Hyperpolarization + Cyclic Nucleotide

71
Q

What does the hyperpolarization part of HCN name mean?

A

Refers to fact of HCN channel opening during VRm after cell is reset and a little bit of hyperpolarization is occurring.

72
Q

CN part of HCN name is referred to

What is the result of?

A

controlled by cyclic nucleotide

Cholinergic vs beta adrenergic signaling in heart

77
Q

When we have a normal amount of beta receptor activity, we should have a normal amount of _______ operating during ______ of SA nodal tissue

A

HCN channels; phase 4

78
Q

If we have a beta agonist, it speeds up heart rate by increasing cAMP levels in nodal tissue, which will open ______, which will make ________. (in SA node)

A

more HCN channels; phase 4 steeper

79
Q

More HCN channels open, means more _______, thus _______ of phase 4. Overall, this equals a _________ action potential. End result is ________. (in SA node)

A

inward sodium/calcium current; shortens time; earlier; elevated heart rate.

80
Q

If you open up HCN channels, the slope of phase _ will _______. (in SA node)

A

4; steepen

81
Q

If you have beta-antagonist such as _________, there will be _____ involvement of HCN channels. (in SA node)

A

atenolol; less

82
Q

Less HCN channel involvement will affect the slope of phase 4 how? (in SA node)

A

83
Q

Do mACh-r affect VRm or threshold potential? (in SA node)

A

VRm

84
Q

mACh-r provide a conduit for ________. (in SA node)

A

reduce; -60

86

A

more negative; longer

87
Q

Is the slope of phase 4 in SA node affected by mACh-r?

A

Yes, secondarily to reducing adenylyl Cyclase activity.

Reduced AC, reduces cAMP, reducing HCN channel activity, lowering slope.

88
Q

The more mACh-r you have in SA node, the more

A

inhibitory alpha subunit effect there is on adenylyl cyclase, reducing it.

89

Beta-adrenergic activity can have what effect on mACh-r in SA node?

A

shut the K+ channels down

90

91
Q

Reducing K+ permeability will result in what to the VRm? Overall effect on body in small and major instances?

A

more positive, small increase HR in small elevated amounts of serum K+, but when it becomes too positive, causes major problems in electrical activity.

92
Q

By increasing VRm with higher level of serum K+ outside heart cells, the ________

A

less of a gradient they have to move down, resulting in less K+ movement, more positive VRm.

93
Q

Beta-receptors control HR by ____, and mACh-r control HR by ______

A

increasing phase 4 slope (elevated HR); lowering VRm (lowering HR)

94
Q

3rd way you can manipulate HR is by ____. How?

How does does calcium change threshold potential? does this occur anywhere else in body other than the heart?

A

No one knows. No.

96
Q

Reasonable increase in serum calcium will _______. Resulting in what?

A

increase threshold potential; longer period of time in phase 4 to reach threshold and slow down HR

97
Q

If we have a serum calcium deficiency, it may result in

A

a lower threshold potential (more negative), and a faster HR

98
Q

What are the electrodes actually looking at?

A

all this current that is coming from depolarized areas of the heart and heading to areas that are repolarized or resting.
