Cardio - EKGs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| AV node | takes signal from SA node.. slows signal down regulate it sending to bundle of his |
| bundle of his | transmits impulses from AV nodes --> ventricles |
| intercalated discs | allows heart to function as synctium |
| atria | receive blood from bdy |
| ventricles | pushing chambers - push out blood |
| what is the conduction pathway? | SA node --> AV node --> bundle of his --> purkinje fibers |
| chronotropic | rate |
| inotropic | contractility |
| dromotropic | conduction |
| frank starling law | more the heart fills, the stronger the contraction |
| preload | volume of blood in ventricles before contraction, EDV. |
| afterload | volume of blood in heart after contraction, ESV. |
| potassium is ___ in the cell | high |
| which ions are low in concentration in the cell? | calcium. sodium. chloride |
| p wave represents | atrial depolarization |
| qrs complex represents | ventricular depolarization |
| t wave represents | ventricular re-polarization |
