Lab Exercise 4

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

Question
Answer
Intrinsic Stimulation   caused by specialized, noncontractile cells called autorhythmic cells  
🗑
Intrinsic Conduction System   initiates action potentials for cardiac muscle fiber contraction and provides a pathway for conducting the action potential to all cardiac muscle fibers  
🗑
Extrinsic Stimulation   ANS and hormones, only increase or decrease the intrinsic pace  
🗑
Electrocardiograph   records electrical changes in the heart  
🗑
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)   chart recording of the electrical events before each heartbeat  
🗑
P Wave   atrial depolarization, just before atrial contraction  
🗑
QRS Complex   ventricular depolarization, before ventricles contract. Occurs during atrial repolarization  
🗑
T Wave   ventricular repolarization, before ventricles contract  
🗑
P-Q Interval   the time interval between the beginning of contraction of the atrium and the beginning of the contraction of the ventricle  
🗑
Q-T Interval   the time from beginning of ventricular depolarization until the end of ventricular repolarization - ventricles are contracting  
🗑
S-T Segment   represents the time the ventricular fibers are fully depolarized  
🗑
Normal Sinus Rhythm   normal heart rate of 60-100 beats/min  
🗑
Tachycardia   HR >100 beats/min  
🗑
Bradycardia   HR <60 beats/min  
🗑
Fibrillation   from prolonged tachycardia, rapid uncoordinated heart contractions that do not pump blood  
🗑
Complete Heart Block   ventricles depolarizing independently from the atria  
🗑
Heart Block   produced by cardiac damage to the AV node or bundle, reducing electrical conduction from atria to ventricles, P-Q interval >0.2 seconds  
🗑
Right or Left Bundle Block   two ventricles do not contract simulatneously and QRS is prolonged.  
🗑
Myocardial Ischemia   decreased blood flow, longer Q-T interval  
🗑
Myocardial Damage   lengthens Q-T interval  
🗑
Mean Electrical Axis (MEA)   average direction of depolarization as the impulses spread into the ventricles.  
🗑
Hypertrophy   of one ventricle shifts the MEA toward the hypertrophied ventricle, because it takes longer to depolarize, about +59 degrees  
🗑
Mean Electrical Magnitude   average voltage of depolarization  
🗑
T/F: EKGs give info about the force of contraction of the cardiac muscle   False  
🗑
Aside from the ANS, what other factor causes extrinsic stimulation   hormones  
🗑
Cardiac Cycle   time in seconds for one heartbeat  
🗑


   

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.
