Q

Which heart cells are capable of generating and transmitting rhythmic APs?

A

conductive (autorhythmic, or nodal) cells

22
Q

Are conductive (autorhythmic, or nodal) cells neurons?

A

no

23
Q

Which heart cells are cardiac muscle cells, striated, uninucleated or binucleated, and have intercalated discs?

A

contractile cardiac muscle cells

24
Q

What is the conducting system of the heart?

Test q

A

1) it starts in the R atrium at the sinoatrial (SA) node/pacemaker of the heart
2) bachmann’s bundle (interatrial pathway spreads depolarization from R to L atrium)
3) atrioventricular (AV) node (impulse will be delayed here)
4) atrioventricular (AV) bundle/ bundle of His (goes down to ventricular septum)
5) R/L bundle branches
6) purkinje fibers

25
Q

What is the pacemaker of the heart?

A

SA node

26
Q

What is the pulmonary circuit? What is its function?

test q

A

-blood vessels carry blood to and from lungs
-includes R side of heart
-function= to oxygenate blood

27
Q

What is the systemic circuit? What is its function?

test q

A

-blood vessels carry blood to and from all body tissues
-includes L side of heart
-function= provide nutrients and oxygen and pick up wastes and carbon dioxide

28
Q

What is the deoxygenated blood flow through heart pathway?

test q

A

SVC (upper body), IVC (lower body) and coronary sinus (heart tissue) > R atrium> R AV (tricuspid) valve> R ventricle> pulmonary semilunar valve> pulmonary trunk> R/L pulmonary arteries

R/L pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to R/L lungs to be oxygenated

29
Q

What is the oxygenated blood flow through heart pathway?

test q

A

R/L pulmonary veins from R/L lungs > L atrium> L AV (bicuspid/ mitral) valve> L ventricle> aortic semilunar valve> aortic trunk (aorta)

aorta carries oxygenated blood to all tissues of the body

30
Q

Which NS is known as fight flight?

test q

A

sympathetic NS

31
Q

Which NS has thoracolumbar outflow from T1-L2 spinal cord segments?

test q

A

Q

The superior cervical sympathetic ganglia goes to the _______________________ ganglia

test q

A

34
Q

Which NS is known as rest and digest?

A

parasympathetic NS

35
Q

Which NS has craniosacral outflow with CN III, VII, IX, and X, and sacral S2-S4 spinal cord segments?

Test q

A

parasympathetic NS

36
Q

How does parasympathetic NS affect heart rate?

Test q

A

decreases heart rate

Q

CN X, vagus n., is a part of what plexi?

A
