Lecture 25- Electrophysiology Pt.2 Flashcards
Which ion is responsible for the initial cardio myocyte depolarization?
What is its speed?
Fast Na channels
What ion is responsible for the plateau of the action potential?
Are its channels fast or slow?
Slow Ca channels
What ion channel is responsible for repolarization of cardiomyocytes?
K channels
Is sympathetic or parasympathetic innervation diffuse?
Sympathetic
What is part of the heart receives sympathetic innervation?
SA node
AV node
Myocardium
What neurotransmitter are used during myocardial sympathetic activation?
E and NE
What part of the heart does parasympathetic activation act on?
SA and AV nodes
What NT is used in parasympathetic myocardial activation?
Ach
What is Chronotropic effect?
Change in the sinus rate
What does dromotropic mean?
Change in the rate of conduciton
What node does the dromotropic effect act on?
The AV node
Which have normal automaticity?
Specialized conduction cells or working cardiomyocytes?
Specialized conduction cells
Which way does a wave of depolarization between two leads run?
Towards the positive electrode
When does a voltmeter record a charge?
Cells at reset?
Depolarization?
Depolarized cells?
Depolarization- some cells depolarized, others not
A positive deflections is recorded on a ECG when…
depolarization is moving towards the electrode
