final Flashcards
What does the weight bearing lunge test?
The ROM about the talocrual (ankle) joint in the direction of dorsiflexion.
which somatotype is typically characterized by a lean body with little body fat and little muscle?
ectomorph
A slowed heart beat is called:
bradycardia
What expected change occurs in the ECG trace from resting to exercise?
Decrease in R-R interval duration
In an ECG, what is the significance of the R-R interval?
It is used to determine heart rate in beats per minute
funcitons of cardiovascular system
- Transport O2 and nutrients to cells and remove CO2 and waste products
- Regulate body temp, pH levels and fluid
Protect from blood loss and infection
- Regulate body temp, pH levels and fluid
what is ithe funciton of hte semilunar valves
→ Semilunar valves control blood flow from the ventricles
whta does the atriventricular valve seperate
- The atrioventricular (AV) valves seperate the atrium and ventricle on each side of the heart
what is epicardium
→ Epicardium: inner layer of double wall, directly covers myocardium
what is endocardium
→ Endocardium: single layer of endothelium lining the cavities of the heart
what is the shape of the RV cavity
RV cavity is flattened into a crescent shape
which walls of the heart are thicker
- Walls of left side are 3x thicker than right
what does depolarisation in the heart cause
cells to contract
what does repolarisation in the heart cost
relaxation of the mycocytes
what occurs in each heart muscle contraction
blood is ejected from the chamber
whta cells cause the fastest spontaneous rate of depolarisation
pacemaker cells - located in the sinoatrial SA node in the rihgt atria
does excitation lead to contractioin oin the ventricles?
not direclty
what occurs in the ventricular filling period
hen the ventricles are at rest and the AV valves are open. Blood is returned to the atria and flows down into the ventricles
what period is in the diastole relaxation phase
ventricular filling period
what are the two periods in systole - contraction phase
- Divided into two periods, the isovolumetric contraction period and the ventricular ejection period
what occurs during isovolumetric contraction period
ng the ICP, both the AV and the semilunar valves open, blood is ejected from the ventricles, initiating the VEP
what occurs during the Ventricular ejection period
- During VEP, ventricular volume decreases as blood is ejected from the ventricles through the open semilunar valves
what is bradycardia
slow HR =. <60bppm
what is normla HR
60-100
