Lesson 2 Flashcards
SA node
sets rate 60-100LPM
innervated by ANS to vary speed
Atrial contraction
squeezes blood from atria to ventricles
both sides happen at same time
inte nodal pathways
blood moves down them, causing the right atria to contract from the top down
Bachman’s bundles do the same thing on the left side
why does there need to be a pause after contractions
to allow atria to completely empty
AV node
slows signal down
back up pacemaker
40-60LPM
electric pathway
SA (60-100LPM) AV (40-60LPM) his bundle L/R bundle branches punjunke fibres
ICF
more sodium phosphate and magnesium
more potassium diffusion channels then sodium (passive transport)
Na/K pump potassium in sodium out (active transport)
ECF
more chlorine, sodium
voltage gated channel
need enough stimulus to open
close automatically
resting membrane potential
-70mv
polarized (resting) state
myocardial cell -90mv
depolarized state
stimulate sodium gates to open cell depolarizes
repolarization
sodium gates close
potassium open
resting state is achieved
0mv
sodium is rushing in
calcium slowly entering
phase 1
Cl enters
K continues to leave
phase 2
Ca enters slow
K leaves slow
phase 3
Ca closes
K still leaving
phase 4
resting potential
Na pumped out
Myocardial contraction
Ca causes contraction
flow towards positive is positive t/f
