one central nucleus (at most 2); contains large mitochondria (25-35% of cell volume) that afford resistance to fatigue; in comparison, mitochondria represent 2% of skeletal muscle

44
Q

Intercalated discs

A

are connecting junctions between cardiac cells that contain

45
Q

Similarities between cardiac and skeletal muscle

A

contraction is preceded by depolarizing action potential; depolarization wave travels down T tubules; causes sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to contract

46
Q

Systemic circuit

A

Goes throughout the body, long high pressure circulation, receives oxygenated blood from left ventricle, blood gets pumped to tissues, then pumps deoxygenated blood into the right atrium

47
Q

Pulmonary circultion

A

short low pressure that only pumps to the lungs to get rid of CO2, receives deoxygenated blood from right ventricle, pumps oxygenated blood into left atrium

A

SA node, pacemaker in right atrial wall, about 75x/minute (sinus rhythm)
