Question
Answer
blood flow   (deoxy) Right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonic valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, (oxy) pulmonary vein, left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, the rest of the body    
🗑
cardiac impulse   SA node → AV node → bundle of His →RBB/LBB RBB → RV → Purkinje fibers→ ventricular contraction LBB → LV → Purkinje fibers → ventricular contraction  
🗑
SA node   Location Junction of superior vena cava and RA “Primary Pacemaker of the Heart” Inherent firing rate 60-100 bpm Atrial Contraction Impulses cause atria to contract (must be conducted through myocardium for ventricular contraction)    
🗑
AV node   Location Group of nodal cells RA wall above tricuspid valve Inherent rate 40-60 bpm Impulse conduction atria to ventricles Mediates conduction btw atria and ventricles  
🗑
resting potential   Movement of ions in and out of cell changes charge, thus changing it (usually negative); electrical potential of a neuron when not stimulated  
🗑
action potential   causes response in cell and this electrical impulse/charge may be passed on  
🗑
depolarization   When resting potential made less negative, cell does this and moves toward action potential  
🗑
repolarization   reverts back to resting state  
🗑
refractory period- absolute   Completely unresponsive (phases 1- rapid repol and 2- plateau); NO early depolarization  
🗑
refractory period- relative   Short time at end of phase 3 (final repol) ; Premature depolarization if very strong electrical stimulus; Premature contractions result (PAC, PVC); Increase risk of serious dysrhythmia  
🗑
refractory period- causes   Electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia); Hypoxemia; Acidosis; Hypothermia; Increase in catecholamines; Myocardial injury; Chamber enlargement  
🗑
calcium   mainly at nodes b/c slower movement; opening the channels for the plateau of the action potential  
🗑
potassium   for repolarization (short hyperpolarization period) and return to resting membrane potential  
🗑
sodium   rapid, spike-like onset of the ventricular action potential  
🗑
EKG   Traces of electrical currents detected by leads on skin; Detects electrical activity, primarily LV  
🗑
P wave   atrial depolarization  
🗑
QRS   ventricular depolarization  
🗑
T wave   ventricular repolarization  
🗑
U wave   repolarization of purkinje fibers  
🗑
PR interval   time needed for SA node stimulation, atrial depolarization, and conduction thru AV node, before ventricular depolarization  
🗑
TP interval   no electrical activity, time btw repolarization of ventricles and reoccurrence of activity at SA node  
🗑
QT interval   total time for ventricular depolarization and repolarization….. Specific calculations to correct QT interval for comparison secondary varies based on age, gender, and HR…… increased risk of lethal dysrhythmia if prolonged QT  
🗑
ST segment   represents early ventricular repolarization… analyze if above or below isometric line b/c sign of ischemia/infarction if not at baseline  
🗑
V/Q ratio   ventiliation/ perfusion Normal- »Normal ratio of ventilation to perfusion  
🗑
Low V/Q   (“Shunt”) MISMATCH ventilation < perfusion (bloodflow but no alveolar air) Ex: pneumonia, mucus plug  
🗑
High V/Q   (“Dead Space”) MISMATCH ventilation > perfusion (alveolar air but no bloodflow) Ex: pulmonary emboli, pulmonary infarct  
🗑
Absence V/Q   (“Silent Unit”) MISMATCH NO ventilation or perfusion (or severely limited) Ex: Pneumothorax  
🗑
Olfactory   1 smell  
🗑
Optic   2 visual acuity/fields  
🗑
Oculomotor   3 move the eye and lid, pupillary constriction, lens accommodation  
🗑
Trochlear   4 move the eye  
🗑
Trigeminal   5 facial sensation  
🗑
Abducens   6 move eye laterally  
🗑
Facial   7 expression and muscle movement, salivation and tearing, taste, sensation in the ear  
🗑
Acoustic (Vestibulocochlear)   8 equillibrium, hearing  
🗑
Glossopharyngeal   9 Taste, sensation in pharynx and tongue, pharyngeal muscles, swallowing  
🗑
Vagus   10 Muscles of pharynx, larynx, soft palate, Sensation in external ear, pharynx, larynx, thoracic and abdominal viscera, parasympathetic innervation of abdominal and thoracic organs  
🗑
Spinal accessory   11 Trapezius and sternocleidomastoid strength  
🗑
Hypoglossal   12 movement of the tongue  
🗑
