| The Intra-Atrial Conduction Pathway is composed of three main pathways: _________, ________, and posterior. | anterior, middle, and posterior |
| The AV node and bundle of His are intricately connected and function to receive current that has finished spreading throughout the atria. The impulse is slowed for about ___ second before it passes to the bundle of His. | .01 second |
| The AV node can kick in if the SA node shuts down. It fires about ___ per minute. | 60 |
| The right and left bundle branches spread electrical current through the _______________ myocardial tissue. | ventricular |
| The Purkinje fibers penetrate into the myocardial tissue and spread to ____________. | the actual tissue of the heart |
| The bundle brandes are also capable of initiating electrical charges if the SA and AV node shut down. Their rate averages __ to __ per minute. | 40 to 60 |
| The sympathetic fibers stimulate the heart by.... | increasing the heart rate, force of contraction, and dilation of the coronary arteries. |
| The parasympathetic fibers (eg., the vagus nerve)... | slow the heart rate, ..... |
| Cardiac plexus | |
| The average time for each cardiac cycle to be completed is ___ seconds. | 0.8 seconds |
| The cardiac cycle is divided into 3 parts: | 1. Period of Ventricular Filling 2. Ventricular systole 3. Isovolumetric relaxation |
| Period of Ventricular Filling (the start of the cardiac cycle) 70% of blood ends up in the ventricles. Another 30% enters -- this is known as... | atrial kick |
| Ventricular systole (2nd step in cardiac cycle) -- the electrical current stimulates the ventricles; they contract; the force of the contraction increases pressure in both ventricles; the mitral and tricuspid valves respond by snapping SHUT. | |
| Isovolumetric Relaxation | |
| When assessing the heart, the closing of which valves causes the first heart sound? | Mitral and tricuspid |
| When the aortic and pulmonic valves close, the nurse should detect which heart sounds through auscultation? | S2 |
