Question
Answer
In cardiac cells, in which direction is the Na [ ] gradient?   Na+ outside > Na+ inside --> Na+ flows down gradient INTO cell  
🗑
What are the fast-response fibers in cardiac cells?   In cardiac muscle and in the His-Purkinje system  
🗑
In Phase 0 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers, which channels open first?   fast I-Na+ channels  
🗑
In Phase 0 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers, what does the rate of depolarization depend on?   Resting membrane potential of the cell ---(determines)---> # of fast I-Na+ channels open ---(determines)---> rate of depolarization. The more negative the resting potential, the faster the response. As membrane voltage increases, the number of Na channe  
🗑
Which class of drugs blocks phase 0 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   Class I anti-arrhythmic drugs  
🗑
What is Phase I of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers? Talk about the movement of ions.   Overshoot. Na+ channels inactivated. K+ channels open transiently --> K+ flow OUT. Cl- channels open transiently --> Cl- flows IN  
🗑
Which class of anti-arrhythmic drugs blocks phase 1 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   None  
🗑
What is Phase 2 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers? Talk about the movement of ions.   Plateau. Slow Ca2+ IN. Delayed K+ OUT (I-K channel).  
🗑
Which class of anti-arrhythmic drugs blocks phase 2 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   None  
🗑
What is Phase 3 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers? Talk about the movement of ions.   Repolarization. Delayed K+ rectifier OUT current increases rapidly as the slow Ca2+ IN current dies out.  
🗑
Which class of anti-arrhythmic drugs blocks phase 2 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs slows the repolarization (makes the slope less steep)  
🗑
What is the slow Na+ current in the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   Window current (Na+ IN) that lasts from phase 0 through phase 3. Can help prolong the duration of the action potential.  
🗑
What is Phase 4 of the cardiac action potential of FAST-repsonse fibers? Talk about the movement of ions.   Return to resting membrane potential  
🗑
What is normal cardiac resting membrane potential of FAST-repsonse fibers?   -85mV  
🗑
How is the cardiac resting membrane potential maintained in FAST-repsonse fibers?   Na+/K+ ATPase (pumps Na+ OUT and pumps K+ IN)  
🗑
What are the slow-response fibers in cardiac cells?   SA and AV Nodes  
🗑
In slow-response fibers, what does depolarization depend on?   Activation of Ca2+ channels (I-Ca-L, I-Ca-T)  
🗑
Which class of drugs blocks phase 0 of the cardiac action potential in SLOW-repsonse fibers?   Class IV anti-arrhythmic drugs  
🗑
Which channels cause repolarization of the cardiac action potential in SLOW-response fibers?   Delayed rectifier K+ current (OUT)  
🗑
What is phase 4 of the cardiac action potential in SLOW-repsonse fibers? Talk about the movement of ions.   Spontaneous depolarization. Na+ IN (I-f channel), Ca2+ IN (I-Ca-T channel), K+ OUT (I-K channel)  
🗑
Which class of drugs blocks phase 4 of the cardiac action potential in SLOW-repsonse fibers?   Class II and IV anti-arrhythmic drugs  
🗑
What is automaticity in a heart cell?   The ability to depolarize spontaneously.  
🗑
What determines the pace of the heart rate?   The fastest phase 4 slope (steepest slope) of a slow-repsonse fiber, usually, the SA node.  
🗑
What is the effective refractory period?   no stimulus of any magnitude can elicit a response. (i.e. from phase 0 to phase 3 of the cardiac AP because Na+ channels are effectively inactivated because the potential is too "positive" for them to be open)  
🗑
Which types of drugs prolong the effective refractory period?   K+ channel blockers (class II antiarrhythmics)  
🗑
What is the relative refractory period?   a strong stimulus can elicit a repsonse, but the timing will be out of sync with the rest of the heart --L can lead to arrhythmias  
🗑
What do decreases in the effective refractory period of an action potential allow?   longer relative refractory period --> greater chance of premature impulse being generated --> arrhythmia  
🗑
At which membrane potential does the activating (M) Na gate close?   -50mV  
🗑
At which membrane potential does the inactivating (h) Na gate open?   -85mV  
🗑
Why is the rate of Na channel recovery slower in ischemic tissue?   Some cells in ischemic tissue may be depolarized at rest --> dec number of channels able to participate in the next depolarization --> dec conduction rate  
🗑
Which receptors innervate the SA node?   PANS - M2 and SANS B1  
🗑
What is the difference between depolarization in fast vs. slow response cardiac cells?   fast (cardiac muscle/His/Purkinje) -- Na+ influx; slow (SA/AV nodes) -- Ca2+ influx  
🗑
When are Class I anti-arrhythmics least effective?   When Na+ channels are in the resting state (M gates closed, h gates open) -- state dependent  
🗑
