49
Q

What is depolarization and repolarization do at a cellular level?

A

Charged ions such as Na+, K+, and Ca++ exchange places across a cell membrane

50
Q

In depolarization and repolarization what does the change in cellular charge do?

A

causes the cell to contract and sets off a wave of depolarization across the entire heart

51
Q

What is the resting state of the cell ?

A

52
Q

In cardio what is preload?

53
Q

In cardio what is a conduction Cell?

A

special cardiac cells that quickly pass along a depolarization wave throughout the the heart resulting in coordinated contraction

54
Q

In cardio, what is automaticity?

A

the ability of certain heat cells to depolarize spontaneously on their own

55
Q

What is the SA node?

A

pacemaker of the heart

56
Q

What is the P wave?

A

the part of the ECG that represents atrial depolarization

57
Q

What is the AV node?

A

the specialized structure throuh which depolarization waves in the atria must pass to get to the ventricles; it delays the depolarization wave as it passes

58
Q

What is the P-QRS Interval?

A

the part of the ECG that represents movement of the depolarization wave through the AV node

59
Q

What is the QRS complex?

A

Part of the ECG that represents ventricular depolarization

60
Q

What is the T wave?

A

part of the ecg that represents ventricular repolarization

61
Q

Significance of potassium in cardio?

A

when a cardiac cell is in the resting polarized state, this ion is mostly concentrated on the inside of the cell

62
Q

Significance of sodium in cardio?

A

This ion ruses into the cardiac cell to initiate repolarization

63
Q

What is the Sodium-Potassium-ATPase pump?

A

the specialized pump that maintains concentrations of sodium and potassium in their respective locations during the polarized resting state

64
Q

What is the significance of calcium in cardio?

A

the influx of this ion produces the plateau phase of cardiac muscle cell depolarization

65
Q

What is arrythmia?

A

any abnormal or irregular heart rhythm

66
Q

What is the signifcance of epinephrine and norepinephrine in cardio

A

two catecholamines released by the sympathetic nervous system that produces its effect
