Q

The image here represents the Q-T interval which is a measure of the____

A. Action Potential Duration (APD)

B. Diastolic fill volume

C. The strength of contraction of the ventrciles

D. The strength of contraction of the atria

A

A

It is not C because ECGs do not measure contraction strength. They only measure electical activity.

18
Q

When you increase your QT interval you will ____ your Action Potential Duration (APD)

A. Increase

B. Decrease

A

A

19
Q

The QRS interval is a measure of the :

A. Atrial conduction

B. Atrial contraction strength

C. Ventricle conduction

D. Ventricle contraction strength

A

C

20
Q

QRS complex is formed how?

A. Electrical impuse spreading into the atria

B. Electrical impulse spreading into the ventricle

A

B

21
Q

An elongated QRS interval is a result of a ____ ventricle conduction.

A. Increased (faster)

B. Decreased (slower)

A

B

It is elongated because the action potential is taking longer to move through the venticle muscle (slow conduction). As a result the QRS complex will look wider.

22
Q

T/F In an absolute refractory period another action potential can be elicited

A

F.

In the ABSOLUTE refractory period more action potentials cannot be generated because the sodium channels are in the INACTIVE state.

23
Q

T/F In the Relative refractory period another action potential can be generated

A

T.

In the RELAVTIVE refractory period the majority of sodium channels are in the RESTING (closed) state and can become activated again (action potential) with a strong enough stimulus.

24
Q

Based on this picture which of these statements is true? (select all)

A, The green line is taking a longer period of time to reach threshold in comparison to the red line.

B. The red line is taking a longer period of time to reach the threshold in comparison to the green line.

C. The red line can be a result of PNS activation

D. The Green line can be a result of SNS activation

A

B,C,D

25
Q

Based on this graph what can be inferred? (Select all)

A. Green line can be a result from giving a B1 agonist

B. Red line can be a result of giving an Muscarinic antagonist
