lab 8 quiz

QuestionAnswer
the pacemaker region of the heart is the: SA node (sinoatrial)
the conducting tissue of the heart located in the interventricular septum is the: AV bundle (bundle of His)
indicate the electrical events that produce each of these waves: P wave: QRS wave: T wave: P wave: depolarization of atria - leads to contraction of atria QRS wave: depolarization of ventricles (repolarization of atria) - lead to contraction of ventricles T wave: repolarization of ventricles - leads to relaxation of ventricles
the electrical synapses between adjacent myocardial cells are called: gap junctions
an abnormally fast rate of beat is called _____; and abnormally slow rate is called _____ tachycardia(>100bpm); bradycardia(<60bpm)
an abnormally long PR interval indicates a condition called: AV/heart block
leads 1, 2, & 3 are collectively called the: standard limb leads
which ECG wave must occur before the ventricles can contract? QRS wave
Which ECG wave must occur before the ventricles can relax? T wave
Which property makes the normal pacemaker region of the heart function as a pacemaker? SA nodes fire more rapidly
The ECG wave that occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole is the: QRS wave
The ECG wave that occurs at the end of systole and the beginning of diastole is the: T wave
The ECG wave completed just before the end of ventricular diastole is the: P wave
The nerve that increases the rate of discharge of the SA node is a: sympathetic nerve
The specific nerve that, when stimulated, causes a decrease in the cardiac rate is the: parasympathetic
The scientific term for insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle is: myocardial ischemia
label P wave, QRS complex, T wave, P-R interval, Q-T interval, & T-Q interval, & sketch typical ECG pattern (label axes, waves, intervals) yup
what events are happening: R wave: P-R interval: Q-T interval: T-Q interval: R wave:ventricular depolarization P-R interval:P-QRS atria depolarization-leads to contraction & signal to cross AV node Q-T interval:ventricle depolarization-leads to ventricular systole & contraction T-Q interval:ventricular repolarization & diastle
what happened to the T-Q measurement as the subject went from rest to exercise? what is this interval measuring? why did it change? decreased; diastole; faster heart rate
ECG: electrocardiogram: electrical activity of heart
conduction system of heart SA node->atria depolarization->AV node->AV bundle->R&L bundle branches depolarization->apex of heart purkinje fibers -non-contractile cardiac cells (not nerve cells)
what is the unit measured in ECGs? mV

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.
