What is an irregular heart rhythm called?   arrhythmia  
🗑
types of arrhythmia   atrial flutter, atrial fibrilation, ventricular fibrilation  
🗑
which type of arrythmia is dangerous? why?   Ventricular fibrilation. No oxygen is being moved. If ventricular ejection ceases, circulatory failure and death occur  
🗑
what are the phases of the cardiac cycle   atria contract while ventricles relax; ventricles contract while atria relax. systole=contract; diastole=relax  
🗑
What is cardiac output?   the amount of blood left ventricle can pump into aorta  
🗑
What determines the cardiac output?   stroke volume and heart rate CO= SV x HR  
🗑
when stroke volume increases, cardiac output ________________   increases  
🗑
Stroke volume regulation is influenced by 3 variables -   Frank starling law of the heart; forcefullness of fibers; and pressure

🗑
first action potential in conduction occurs   in the sinoatrial node or SA Node  
🗑
once first action potential fires in the SA Node   both atria contract at the same time  
🗑
action potential will then be handed off from SA Node to the   Atrioventricular Node or AV Node  
🗑
The event that occurs in the atrioventricular node is   the slowing down of the action potential so the atria can finish contraction and empty their blood into the ventricles  
🗑
the AV Node hands action potential off to the   Atrioventricular Bundle or AV Bundle  
🗑
old name for AV bundle   Bundle of His  
🗑
The is the site where the action potential is being handed   from atria to ventricles  
🗑
from the AV bundle,   the bundle splits and goes into a rt bundle branch that heads to rt ventricle and a left bundle branch that heads to lt ventricle - called rt and lt bundle branches  
🗑
Bundle branches descend to   apex of the heart  
🗑
once action potential gets to the apex (bottom) of the heart   The bundle branches break into tiny small fibers called purkinje fibers  
🗑
the purkinje fibers take action potential   from bottom of ventricles and spread it up over the ventricles encasing all of that myocardium.  
🗑
as soon as action potential hits the purkinje fibers   the ventricles contract  
🗑
The contraction of the ventricles   pushes blood into the major vessels  
🗑
The major events of the conduction system are   the contraction of the atria and the contraction of the ventricles  
🗑
The contraction of the atria occurs   after the SA Node fires  
🗑
the contraction of the ventricles occur   when action potential reaches the purkinje fibers  
🗑
How do the sinoatrial node and brain work together   Brain is hooked to SA Node to slow down heart when sleeping  
🗑
The pacemaker of the heart   SA Node  
🗑
what happens is SA node fails   The av node takes over, but is slower  
🗑
What happens is AV node fails   The av bundle takes over, but too slow and brain damage begins to occur  
🗑
Name the electrocardiogram waves   p wave, QRS complex, t wave  
🗑
which wave represents atrial depolarization   p wave  
🗑
as p wave is depolarized, what happens?   the atria contract  
🗑
Why can't we see Atrial repolarization on an EKG?   The atria are relaxing (repolarizing) at the same time the ventricles are depolarizing (or contracting) thus the ventricular activity masks the atrial repolarization on the EKG  
🗑

🗑
Fibra refers to   muscle fibers  
🗑
individual muscle fibers contracting at different times   fibrillation  
🗑
Cardiovascular center is in   medulla oblongata in mesoncephalon

🗑
MAP is the outcome of 2 products _____   CO x total peripheral resistance (TPR) MAP=CO x TPR  
🗑
What is TPR?   a measure of vascular resistance; the cells in your blood rub up against your blood vessel walls and create friction-> that is vascular resistance  
🗑
What can affect TPR?   size of the lumen (smaller the lumen= greater the resistance=increased TPR), blood viscosity (how many red blood cells you have. Increase in blood cells=^in friction=^in TPR=^in MAP; total blood vessel length  
🗑
if you change your blood volume, it changes your blood pressure because of   Frank Starling law of the heart  
🗑
An increase in blood volume is going to increase ____________   stroke volume (because if you have more blood you can force more blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. if you increase SV you increase cardiac output = ^ in map  
🗑
if cardiac output doubles and total peripheral resistance goes down by 50%, what is the net change in MAP?   0-no change If cardiac output doubled and there was no homeostatic system to respond and lower TPR then you would die
