Cardiac Physiology

Lab Study Guide

TermDefinition
lubb -come first -closure of AV valves
dupp -comes second -closure of SL valves
when ventricles contract AV valves open or close? close
when atria contract AV valves open or close? open
when ventricles relax AV valves open or close? open
when atria relax AV valves open or close? close
path of electrical activity - SA node -atrial contraction -AV node -AV bundle -R/L bundle branches -Purkinje fibers (conduction myofibrils) -ventricular contraction
systole contraction
diastole relaxation
p wave atrial depolarization (causes systole)
QRS complex ventricular depolarization (causes systole)
when do the atria repolarize? during the QRS complex but the large electrical activity of the ventricular depolarization masks atria repolarization
t wave ventricular repolarization (causes diastole)
significance of PQ segment -start of atrial depolarization to start of ventricular depolarization -measures time it takes to get from AV node to ventricles
significance of PR interval -time from atrial depolarization to beginning of ventricular depolarization -time to transmit action potential through entire conduction system -reflects whether impulse conduction from atria to ventricles is normal
significance of ST segment -normally remains isoelectric (no electrical activity) -interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization
significance of QT interval includes all electrical events from ventricular repolarization to depolarization
cardiac cycle complete cycle of contraction and relaxation of all four chambers of the heart
R-R interval heart rate
calculating HR given cardiac cycle -HR = 60/CC -answer in BPM
calculating cardiac cycle given HR -CC = 60/HR -answer in seconds
wave electrical changes with depolarization and repolarization
segment (on line) between waves
interval wave and segment

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.
