Question
Answer
2 specialized types of cardiac muscle cells   contractile myocardial cells and non contractile autorhythmic cells  
🗑
__cells responsible for the mechanical pumping of the heart   contractile myocardial cells  
🗑
99% for cardiac muscle tissue are ___ cells   contractile myocardial cells  
🗑
___ cells of the conduction system are responsible for electrical stimulation of myocardial cells   non contractile autorhythmic cells  
🗑
__cells are 1% of cardiac muscle tissue   non contractile autorhythmic cells  
🗑
__cells spontaneously depolarize via slow movement of + ions through channels leading to threshold then generating an AP   autorhythmic cells  
🗑
AP travels throught the conduction system triggering the contraction of   the surrounding myocardial tissue  
🗑
different parts of the hearts conduction system have their own _ rate   autorhythmicity rate  
🗑
4 Components of the conduction system   SA node, AV node, AV Bundle, and Purkinje fibers  
🗑
autorhythmicity rate of 70 beats/min   SA node  
🗑
autorhythmicity rate of 50 beats/min   AV node  
🗑
autorhythmicity rate of 35 beats/min   AV bundle  
🗑
autorhythmicity rate of 30 beats/mini   Purkinje fibers  
🗑
a recording of the electrical changes that accompany the cardiac cycle   electrocardiogram (ECG)  
🗑
represents the depolarization of the atria as a wave of negativity spreads from the SA node toward the ventricles   P wave  
🗑
represents the spread of excitation throught the ventricular myocardium resulting in depolarization of ventricular muscle   QRS complex  
🗑
atrial repolarization is masked by   the large QRS deflection  
🗑
represents the repolarization of the ventricles   T wave  
🗑
represents the interval between the activation of the SA node and the AV node   P-R interval  
🗑
represents the interval between atrial depolarization and ventricular depolarization   P-R segment  
🗑
represents the interval between the end of the S wabe and the start of the T wave, ventricles are uniformly excited   S-T segment  
🗑
represents the interval of time between successive cycles   R-R interval  
🗑
flattened T wave=   heart muscle is ischemic  
🗑
enlarged ST segment=   acute myocardial infarctions  
🗑
enlarged R=   enlarged ventricles  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
