Mr smith-conduction system Flashcards
What is the conduction system
stimulation of the heart
What are the 4 stages of the conduction system
SA NODE
IMPULSE TO LEFT ATRIUM
AV NODE
BUNDLE OF HIS
PUNKJI FIBRES
way to remember sia better play
what is the first stage of the conduction system and what does it do
SA NODE
sits just above right atrium
myogenic meaning self regulating
pacemaker
admits a signal(sends signal out)
CONTRACTING
crosses atria causing atrial systole forcing blood to ventricles
What is the second stage of the conduction system
impulse to left atrium
what is the third stage of the conduction system and what does it do
AV NODE
receives signal from sa node
relays the signal
ventricular systole
what is the fourth stage of the conduction system
BUNDLE OF HIS
postsioned in septum
seperates signal into left and right
forces blood outwards from aaorta and pulmonery artery
what is the fifth stage of the conduction system and what does it do
Punkji fibres
spreads signal to every cell
ventricular systole
Where are proprioceptor’s found
found in the muscles and tendons
what do propriorepceptors detect
change in length
tension
movemnet
what are two types of proproreceptors
muscle spindles
golgi tendon organs
what do muscle spindles do
-detect how far and fast a muscle fibre is being stretched
-found between fibres of a skeletal muscle
-prevents overstretching
sends signal causing muscle to contract to prevent overstretching
what do golgi tendon organs do
detect tension
prevent tearing
send signal to muscle to relax to prevent tearing
what is a strecth reflex
when activated, muscle spindle relays info to CNS (central nervous system)
the CNS then sends signal back to muscles motor neurone initiating a contraction of the muscle
-stretch reflex
-reflex causes muscle to contract preveting overstretching
muscle under tension
tension gets too high, golgi tendon activated causing muscle to relax.
what does PNF stand for and what is it
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and is a type of advanced stretching and increases flexibility
what are the 4 stages of pnf
1.passive stretch
2.isometric contraction (voluntary)
3.relaxation
4.stretch (further)
