Lab 8 Flashcards
Increase contraction force and heart rate caused my which ion?
Increased Ca2+
Which ion decreases heart rate?
Excess Na+
Which ion can impair cardiac function?
Abnormally high K+ levels
What drugs is cholinergic and mimics effects of AcH
Pilocarpine
Which drug is a cholerginic drug but affects are different than pilocarpine
Atropine
What drug used to treat heart failure and decreases heart rate while increasing contractility?
Digitalis
Parasympathetic innervation
Vagus nerve
Sympathetic innveration
Norepinephrine
What are parasympathetic effects?
Decrease heart rate
What are effects of sympathetic innervation
Increase heart rate and ventricular contractility
An early contraction that occurs before SA node is ready to fire
Extra systole
What does an extra systole do?
Produces smaller contraction
Pushes less blood
Followed by compensatory pause
Period from the end of one heart contraction to the end of the next
Cardiac cycle
What is systole
Contraction
What is diastole
Relaxation
