Question
Answer
bundle of His(AV bundle)   conducts electrical impulese from the artia to the ventricles  
🗑
sinoatrial (SA) node (pacemaker)   initiates heart at a rate of 60-100 beats per minute with electrical impulse that causes depolarization  
🗑
atrioventricular (AV) node   delays the electrical impulse to allow for the atria to complet their contraction and ventricles to fill before the next contraction  
🗑
bundle branches   conducts impulses down both sides of the interventricular septum  
🗑
purkinje fibers (network)   distributes the electrical impulses through the right and left ventricles  
🗑
cardiac cycle   the contraction and relaxation of the heart together make up the?  
🗑
diastole   relaxation of heart, when blood fills the heart  
🗑
systole   contraction of heart, when blood leaves the heart  
🗑
semilunar valves   separate ventricles from arteries leading to lungs or body  
🗑
aortic   semilunar valve, between left ventricle and aorta  
🗑
pulmonary   semilunar valve, between rt. ventricle and pulmonary artery  
🗑
tricuspid valve   valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle  
🗑
mitral valve   atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and left ventricle  
🗑
function of the heart   pump blood to and from all tissues of body, supplies nutrients and oxygen, remove carbon dioxide and waste products  
🗑
top chambers of the heart   right and left atrium  
🗑
bottom chambers of the heart   right and left ventricle  
🗑
endocardium   inner layer, lines chambers and valves. were the purkinje fibers are located  
🗑
myocardium   middle, thickest, responsible for contraction  
🗑
epicardium   outside, thin kayer, contains coronary arteries, inner layer of pericardium  
🗑
pericardium   double- layer sac encloses heart  
🗑
interventricular septum   between right and left ventricle  
🗑
automaticity   heat has its own innate ability to initiate an electrical impulse. works on its own.  
🗑
conductivity   is the ability of the heart cells to recieve and transmit an electrical impulse. allows the electrical pulse.  
🗑
contractility   ability of heat cells to shorten inresponse to an electrical stimulus. knows how much to use.  
🗑
excitability   ability of the heart to respond to an impulse or stimulus. willing to accept stimulus.  
🗑
left side   of heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body tissue.  
🗑
right side   of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   transportation of blood to and from lungs  
🗑
systemic circulation   transportation of blood between the heart and the rest of the body,excluding the lungs  
🗑
coronary circulation   circulation supplies blood to and from the heart through the coronary arteries and cornary sinus.  
🗑
60-100   average heart beats approximately  
🗑
polarization   state of cellular rest in the heart  
🗑
depolarization   cellular stimulation that causes the hear to contract  
🗑
repolarization   cellular recovery that follows each contraction  
🗑
isoelectic line   straight line, represents the period when no electrical activity is occuring in the heart.  
🗑
cardiac cycle   contraction and relaxation period of the heart together make the?  
🗑
ECG waveform includes   P wave, QRS complex,T wave  
🗑
