Question
Answer
Specialized cells of the hearts electricial system also referred to as conducting or automatic cells   show
🗑
show Automaticity  
🗑
Also called irritability referes to the ability of cardiac muscle cells to respond to an outside stimulus   show
🗑
Refers to the ability of a cardiac cell to receive an elecrtrical impulse and and conduct ut to an adjoining cardiac cell   show
🗑
The ability of myocardial cells to shorten in response to an impulse which results in contraction   show
🗑
The flow of electrical charge from one point to another   show
🗑
show Voltage  
🗑
show Electrolytes  
🗑
show Action potential  
🗑
When the inside of a cell is more negative then the outside   show
🗑
show Membrane potential  
🗑
The ability of a membrane channel to allow passage of electtolytes once it is open   show
🗑
show Depolarization  
🗑
show Repolarazition  
🗑
Phases 1,2,3 are referred to as   show
🗑
Phase 4 is referred to as   show
🗑
show Phase 0  
🗑
During this phase the NA+ channels partially close, slowing the flow of NA+ into the cell. At the same time CL- enters and K+ leaves. Resulting in a decrease in the # of positive electrical charges within the cell   show
🗑
show Phase 2  
🗑
show Phase 3  
🗑
show Phase 4  
🗑
The cell will not respond to further stimulation   show
🗑
Some cardiac cell have repolarized to their threshold potential and can be stimulated to respond to a stronger than normal stimulus. This corosponds with the T wave   show
🗑
show Supernomral period  
🗑
show Conduction system  
🗑
show Accessory pathway  
🗑
show II, III, aVF  
🗑
show V1 and V2  
🗑
The leads that view the anterior surface of the heart   show
🗑
show I, aVL, V5, and V6  
🗑
show PR interval  
🗑
Normal rate for PR interval   show
🗑
total ventricular activity- the time from ventricular depolarazition to repolarazition   show
🗑
Duration of the QT interval   show
🗑
show PR segment  
🗑
It represents the early part of repolarazition of the right and left ventricels   show
🗑
Duration of the ST segment   show
🗑
show P wave  
🗑
Duration of a P wave   show
🗑
Represents the spread of the electricial impulse through the ventricles (ventricular depolarazition)   show
🗑
show .10 secs or less  
🗑
show T wave  
🗑
The primary pacemaker   show
🗑
The PR interval is considered prolonged if it is more then   show
🗑
show Right and left bundle branches  
🗑
On the ECG the time necessary fot the spread of an electrical impulse through the AV nodes, bundle of His, right and left bundle branches and the purkinje fibers is represented by the   show
🗑
The portion of the ECG tracing used to determine the degree of ST segment displacement   show
🗑
show AV Node  
🗑
Five large boxes each consisting 5 small boxes represents ? on ECG paper   show
🗑
show Right ventricle and posterios surface of the left ventricle  
🗑
show Acute injury pattern  
🗑
A line between waveforms is called   show
🗑
The spread of an impulse through tissue already stimulated by that same impulse   show
🗑
The cells of the heart that contain contractile filaments are called   show
🗑
show Artifact  
🗑
A waveform and a segment   show
🗑
show Vulnerable  
🗑
show Voltmeter  
🗑
This condition causes ST segment elevation in all or virtually all leads   show
🗑
An important electrolye that affects cardiac function   show
🗑
The difference in electrical charges across the cell membrane   show
🗑
The amplitude of a waveform is measured in   show
🗑
show Excitability  
🗑
The a in aVR, aVL and aVF   show
🗑
show Negative  
🗑
show Epinephrine  
🗑
A ? pacemaker is a pacemaker site other than the SA node   show
🗑
show Complex  
🗑
The spread of an impulse through tissue already stimulated   show
🗑
show Polarized  
🗑
show Chemical  
🗑
show Sodium  
🗑
Each electrode placed in the V position is a   show
🗑
show 60-100  
🗑
show 40-60  
🗑
rate of the ventricles   show
🗑
show 1.Automaticity 2.Excitability 3. Conductivity 4.Contractility  
🗑
