Module 9 Flashcards
SA (sinoatrial node) provides stimulus for ________
Known as the “_____”
Sets rate of _______ of ______ _______
Contraction
Pacemaker
Depolarization, whole, heart
Internodal tract carries impulse throughout ______ _____ causing them to _____
Atria walls
Contract
AV (atrioventricular) node ____ impulse
Delays
AV bundle carries impulse from _____ down through _____
Atrium
Septum
Purkinje fibers carry impulse up ____?
Results in contraction of what?
Walls of ventricles
Ventricles
P wave correlates to what?
SA node -> intermodal tract
Atria contract & empty
Depolarization of atria
QRS complex correlates to what?
AV node -> AV bundle -> purkinje fibers
Ventricles contract & empty
Depolarization of ventricles
T wave correlates to what?
Atria fill
Repolarization of ventricles
What occurs when the ventricles are relaxed
AV valves are open
Semilunar valves are closed
For any chamber of the heart, the chamber squeezes blood into an adjacent chamber or an arterial trunk during which event
Systole or depolarization
Arteries or ____ vessels, conduct blood away from the hearts; whereas, veins, or ___ vessels, return blood to the heart
Efferent
Afferent
Ventricles become completely filled with blood during which phase of the cardiac cycle
Atrial systole
What happens during atria diastole
First event
Blood enters both atriums
AV valves are closed
What happens during atria systole
Second event
Both atrias contract forcing blood into the ventricles
What happens during ventricular diastole
Ventricle is relaxed, pressure in atria becomes higher and AV valves open leading to the ventricles filling up
What happens during ventricular systole
Ventricles are contracting
The pressure builds up and the semilunar valves open
AV valves are closed
The major factors that regulate cardiac output
Hormones
Blood volume reflexes
Autonomic innervation
What represents a recording of the electrical activities of the heart over time
Electrocardiogram
What are the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine
Increasing heart rate / stroke volume
Stimulating cardiac muscle cell metabolism
Which ECG characteristic wave pattern appears as the ventricles depolarize
QRS complex
By the time atrial systole marks another cardiac cycle, the ventricle are roughly _____ filled
70%
What vessel sends blood into the right atrium
Coronary sinus
What part of the conduction system supplies the ventricular myocardium
Purkinje fibers
If cells of the SA node are killed, what part of the heart has the autorhythmicity to establish a new slower HR
AV node
What nerves supple parasympathetic innervation to the SA and AV nodes
Vagus nerves
Where are the cardioacceleratory and cardioinhibitory centers located
Medulla oblongata
What peripheral resistance factor can be quickly altered to change systemic BP
vessel diameter
Examples of elastic arteries
Pulmonary trunk
Aorta
As the pulmonary trunk curves over the heart it gives rise to what
Pulmonary arteries
Where does the systemic circuit end
At the Right atrium
What vessel gives rise to the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery
Brachiocephalic artery
Which vein is responsible for collecting blood from the kidneys
Renal vein
Thick leaf layer in a muscular artery
Tunica media
What is found is all vessels
Endothelium
Which part of the entire circulatory system holds most of the blood volume at rest
Systemic veins
What vessel carries oxygen poor blood
Pulmonary arteries
