12
Q

Why do AV node, His bundle and purkinje fibers have their own AP/min?

A

This allows the heart to still beat if the SA nodes OR AV node OR his bundle fails

But are all over ridden by the SA node and the pace that is set by PSNS

16
Q

What is the pathway of action potentials?

A

SA node at atria -> contract -> AV node signal delay and allows vents to fill -> bundle of His (rapid signal) -> bundle branches (rapid signal) -> purkinje fibers (rapid signal) -> vents contract

17
Q

What is the difference between AP in nodes vs AP in myocardium?

A

AP in nodes occur quick

AP in myo had a plateau period to allow time to contract

18
Q

How are AP in SA and AV nodes different from myocardium?

A

SA and AV are non contractile, auto rhythmic

Self excitable

Threshold of -40 mv

19
Q

What are the phases in pace maker activity?

A

Pacemaker potential (-60) opens Na -> depolarizes at threshold (-40) -> action potential occurs and Na channels close while Ca channels open -> peak AP closes Ca channels and K open and leaves -> below threshold closes K channels -> at pacemaker potential Na opens at -60

20
Q

What is the difference of AP in the heart and AP in neurons?

A

It is a continuous cycle with no resting membrane potential `

21
Q

What occurs during AP of the myocardium?

A

Cells contract

AP of purkinje fibers make ventricle contract by spreading AP through gap junctions

22
Q

What are the phases of ventricular myocardial action potentials?

A

Depolarization occurs from Na opening quickly -> at +30 Na close making a dip and Ca and K open slowly balancing + leaving cell -> repolarization closes Ca channels and K opens to restore RMP

23
Q

What type of stimulus opens the Ca and K channels of the ventricular myocardia?

A

Slow voltage gated channels

24
Q

How is absolute refractory period in myocardium muscle different from neurons and skeletal muscles?

A

It’s longer than neurons and skeletal muscles because the Na are inactivated until MP is near -70 mv

25
Q

What is the excitation contraction coupling of myocardium?

A

The same as skeletal muscles

Require Ca to bind to troponin and move tropomyosin out of the way

26
Q

What is the AP duration of skeletal muscles vs myocardial?

A

1 to 2 msec

250 msec or 0.25 sec

27
Q

How are myocardial action potentials different from skeletal muscles?

A

The muscle contraction occurs before the AP is over

Lasts 300msec or 0.3 sec

No wave summation because it is a smooth muscle and will alternate contraction and relaxation

28
Q

What are the 3 components of the cardiac cycle?

A

Electrical activity

Mechanical activity

Blood flow through heart

29
Q

What is an ECG?

A

Measures small electrical currents from de/repolarization of myocardia

Measured in waves = sum of electrical activity

30
Q

What do the ECG waves represent?

A

P wave - atrium depolarizing

QRS - ventricular depolarization

R - atrial repolarizing and ventricle depolarizing

T - ventricular repolarization

31
Q

What part of ECG does the atria and ventricle contract?

A

P-Q => atria by AV node

S-T => atria relax/ ventricle contract

32
Q

What segment of the ECG is the heart at rest?

A

T-P

33
Q

What are the 2 abnormalities in heart beat?

A

Tachycardia - resting heart is greater than 100 bpm

Bradycardia - resting heart is less than 60 bpm

34
Q

What happens with a heart block?

A

Conduction through A/V node is slowed/ increased P-Q interval

35
Q

How is the systole and diastole initiated?

A

By electrical activity

36
Q

How long is the cardiac cycle?

A

75 bpm divided by 60 sec = 0.8 sec/beat

37
Q

How long is the atria in diastole?

A

For 0.7 sec

38
Q

How long are ventricles in systole compared to atria for?

A

0.3 sec compared to 0.1 seconds in the atria

39
Q

What are the 3 causes of blood flow throughout the heart?

A

Pressure changes (high pressure to low pressure)

Valves

Myocardial contractions

40
Q

What does the LUB and DUB sounds occur?

A

LUB - the sound of atrial valves closing by blood pressure (mitral and bicusp valves)

DUB - the sound of ventricle valves closing (semilunar) and blood pushing them closed

41
Q

How does pressure force the movement of blood from one chamber to another?

A

Valves open when the pressure is greater than the next chamber and pushes it open

42
Q

What does the stop of korotkoff sounds represent?

A

The diastolic pressure
