HSF II Lab IV

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
[Blank] cells are specialized, non-contractile cells which cause the intrinsic stimulation of the heart.   Autorhythmic  
🗑
What is the difference between an electrocardiograph and electrocardiogram?   An ECgraph is the machine/instrument used to record elec. changes in the heart, its output (chart recording of all elec. events prior to each heartbeat) is a ECgram  
🗑
True or False: EKGs give info about the force of contraction of the cardiac muscle   False  
🗑
Aside from the ANS, name one other factor which can cause extrinsic stimulation   Hormones  
🗑
P wave   atrial depolarization  
🗑
P-Q Interval   time between beginning of atria contracting and beginning of ventricles  
🗑
T wave   ventricular repolarization  
🗑
S-T segment   ventricular fibers fully depolarized  
🗑
QRS complex   ventricular depolarization  
🗑
Q-T interval   ventricles contracting (beginning of ventricular depolarization to end of ventricular repolarization)  
🗑
One instance where heart rate >100 is normal   in young children  
🗑
One instance in which a heart rate <60 is normal   highly conditioned people like athletes  
🗑
What would you be concerned for in a patient who has persistent tachycardia?   they may develop fibrillation  
🗑
Fibrillation   rapid, uncoordinated heart contractions  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle   the time in seconds for one heartbeat  
🗑
A lengthened P-Q interval could be indicative of a [blank], which is produced by cardiac damage to the AV node/ AV bundle and reduces the electrical conduction from the atria to the ventricles   heart block  
🗑
Which segment of an EKG would you look at to determine if an individual has a right or left bundle branch block?   QRS complex  
🗑
The relaxation period extends from the end of the (P or T?) wave to the start of the next (P or T?) wave   T/P  
🗑
How do delta T times change as you look between data from subject laying down vs. after exercise?   Delta T times decreased after exercise when compared to laying down/resting (due to increase in heart rate)  
🗑
What, if any, change would you expect to see in Q-T intervals with an increased heart rate?   Q-T interval shortening  
🗑
The average angle/direction of depolarization of the heart is the (Mean Electrical Axis or Mean Electrical Magnitude)   Mean Electrical Axis  
🗑
The average voltage of an action potential going through the heart is the (Mean Electrical Axis/ Mean Electrical Magnitude)   Mean Electrical Magnitude  
🗑
Where does depolarization begin in the heart?   SA node  
🗑
The AV node is unable to create the intrinsic pace of the heart in the absence of the SA node. True or False   False  
🗑
(Lead I or Lead III?) is a horizontal axis of observation, while (Lead I / Lead III?) has an axis of about 120 degrees.   Lead I / Lead III  
🗑
normal mean electrical axis   60  
🗑
Is an MEA of 35 degrees right- or left-shifted?   Left, because less than 60  
🗑
If an individual had hypertrophy in their right ventricle, you could expect to observe a (right or left?) axis on their EKG tracing.   Right  
🗑
If an individual had a left bundle branch block, you could expect to observe a (right or left?) axis on their EKG tracing.   Left  
🗑
Autorhythmic Cells   cause intrinsic stimulation, the heart beats by itself  
🗑
Intrinsic Stimulation   by autorhythmic cells, makes the heart beat by itself  
🗑
Extrinsic Stimulation   heart stimulation by the ANS and hormones  
🗑
Intrinsic Conduction System   initiates action potential that causes cardiac muscle contraction, provides a pathway to conduct to all cardiac muscle fibers  
🗑
Electrocardiograph   used to record the electrical charges of the heart  
🗑
Electrocardiogram   ECG or EKG, chart recording the elec. events of each heartbeat, recorded from the whole heart  
🗑
Normal Sinus Rhythm   NSR, 60-100 beats/min for adults  
🗑
Tachycardia   heart rate above 100 beats/min, prolonged can cause fibrillation  
🗑
Bradycardia   heart rate below 60 beats/min  
🗑
Heart Block   P-Q intervals >0.2 sec, produced by cardiac damage to the AV node or AV bundle.  
🗑
Complete Heart Block   results in ventricles depolarizing independently from the atria  
🗑
Myocardial Ischemia   decreased blood flow, increased Q-T interval  
🗑
Myocardial Damage   lengthens Q-T interval  
🗑
Relaxation Period   end of T wave to start of next P wave  
🗑
Mean Electrical Axis   average direction of depolarization, deviation shows heart disorders  
🗑
Hypertrophy of One Ventricle   shifts the mean axis of dep. toward the hypertrophied ventricle because it takes longer to depolarize  
🗑
Left Ventricle Hypertrophy   caused by hypertension or narrowing of the aortic semilunar valve  
🗑
Right Axis Deviation   Right bundle branch block, or right ventricle hypertrophy  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
