53
Q

What are the 2 Heart specialized cells

A

Autorhythmic (pacemaker) cells and Contractile (cardiac cells)

54
Q

Control and coordinate heartbeat – contain
their own electrical current (no true resting membrane) - sinoatrial node,
atrioventricular node, atrioventricular bundle, L/R bundle branches and purkinje
fibers (in this order)

A

Autorhythmic (pacemaker) cells

55
Q

sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node

A

Nodal Cells

56
Q

Originates in the Posterior wall of the R-
atrium.
- Generates “sinus rhythm” (60-80 beats per minute)
- Sends projections to L atrium  Bachmus bundle

A

Sino-Atrial node (SA)

57
Q

sends fiber to interventricular
septum and continues the transfer of the depolarization
-Takes 0.1 second delay to allow time for each atria to contract
- Less gap junctions
b.) Conducting cells additnally make up the atrioventricular bundle, L/R
bundle branches and purkinje fibers
i.) Connect the SA and AV nodes/ propagate signals to the contractile
tissue of the heart

A

Atrio-Ventricular node (AV)

58
Q

produce power propelling blood
a.) Action potential flows through the heart tissue causing contraction

A

Contractile (cardiac) cells

59
Q

Damage to conducting pathways result in ?

A

conducting deficits (reduce BPM)

60
Q

Abnormal conduction outside the SA and AV nodes is an

A

ectopic pacemaker
(disrupts timing)

61
Q

At threshold Na+ rushes in due to “fast”
Na+ channels

A

(Phase 0) Rapid Depolarization

62
Q

K+ leaks out of contractile cells causing a drop in voltage.
This activates Ca2+ channels.

A

(Phase 1) Plateau

63
Q

Ca2+ influx and K+ outflow continues giving the voltage
plateau phase.
b.) Together they 1. Delay repolarization and 2. Keeps membrane potential
at 0mV for extended period  long to aid in contraction
c.) Cells contract similar to muscle cells: action potential transferred via T-
tubules, activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, release of calcium, binds to
troponin and allow myosin and actin to cause a power stroke

A

(Phase 2)

64
Q

Ca2+ channels in the contractile cell now close;
due to reduced cation transportation from repolarization of nodal cells. More K+
channels now open and more K+ leaves the cell.

A

(Phase 3) Repolarization

65
Q

cells won’t respond to another impulse: 1.
Absolute refractory period (no stimulus can cause depolarization) and 2. Relative
refractory period (a strong signal can cause depolarization)
6.) To depolarize you need the three fundamental ions (similar to muscles) Na+,
K+, and Ca2+
7.) Heart needs to contract for longer - Ca2+ helps sustain/prolong the contraction.

A

(Phase 4) Refractory Period
