Cardiopulmonary

CMA130

TermDefinition
ECG: Graphic representation of the electrical activity of the heart
SA Node: Specialized cells that initiates the heart beats, sets its pace and has a rate of 60-100 impulses.
AV Node: Specialize cells located in the lower right atrial septum-has a rate of 40-60 impulses per minute.
Bundle of His: Has an intrinsic rate of 20-40 impulses per minute.
Automaticity: The ability of cardiac cells to generate its own electrical stimulus
Conductivity: Cardiac cells to receive a stimulus from a neighboring cell and pass it to the next.
Polarization: Cardiac cells are in a resting, negatively charged state
Depolarization: Cells are discharging a positively charged electrical impulse to create a contraction
Repolarization: Transformation of cardiac cells from an active to resting state for recharging.
P Wave: Demonstrates atrial depolarization
QRS Complex: Demonstrates ventricular depolarization
T Wave: Demonstartes ventricular repolarization
Isoelectric Line: There is no upward or downward deflection is present indicating no electrical activity or voltage
Segment: Lines between or connecting waves.
Interval: A wave in addition to a connecting line.
Large Block (Horizontally) 0.2 Seconds
Large Block (Veritically) 0.5 Millivolts
Unipolar Leads: Represent 9 out of 12 leads
aVR: Heart voltage between right arm electrode and a central point between left arm and left leg
aVL: Heart voltage between left arm electrode and a central point between right arm and left leg
aVF: Heart voltage between left leg electrode and a central point between right arm and left arm
V1: Electrode is placed at the fourth intercostal space just to the right of the sternum
V2: Electrode is placed at the fourth intercostal space just to the left of the sternum.
V4: Electrode is placed at the left mid-clavicular line in the fifth intercostal space.
V3: Electrode is placed midway between leads V2 and V4.
V5: Electrode is placed anterior left axillary line at the same level as V4.
V6: The electrode is placed at the left mid-axillary line at the same level as lead V4.
Artifact: Defects on the electrocardiogram due to the electrical activity of the heart interferes.
Wandering Baseline Artifact: Caused by loose electrodes.
Bipolar Lead: Measures cardiac electrical activity between two extremities; between a negative and a positive electrode.
Lead I: Measures electrical activity from the right arm to the left arm
Lead II: Used for rhythm lead.
Lead III: Measures electrical activity from left arm to left leg.
Somatic Tremor: Due to involuntary muscle movement aka muscle artifact.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
