|
|
|
|
repolorization
|
recover period of the chamber of the heart after it has contracted
|
|
|
|
arteries
|
carry away oxygenated blood away from the heart Except pulmonary artery
|
|
|
|
atroventricular node AV node
|
pacemaker for the heart conducts impulses from the atria to bundle of itis
|
|
|
|
veins
|
carry deoxygenated blood to the heart Except pulmonary veins
|
|
|
|
plasma
|
liquid portion of blood contains RBC wbc plt and is 90% h2o
|
|
|
|
ECG/ekg
|
electrocardiogram
|
|
|
|
NSR
|
impulse generated from sinus node which acts as pacemaker
|
|
|
|
normal heart rate
|
60=100 beats per minute normal
|
|
|
|
sinus bradycardia
|
less than 60, impulses originate in SAnode but slower Brady is normal during sleep inathletes
|
|
|
|
sinus tachycardia
|
rapid heart rate is over 100 beats per minute
|
|
|
|
sinus arrhythmia
|
commonly related to respiration normally seen in children, young adults , and the elderly
|
|
|
|
sinus arrest
|
60=100 beats per min electrical impulses is not generated by SAnode
|
p wave is not seen
|
|
|
wandering pacemaker
|
(60=100) pacemaker moves fromSAnode to atria=AV node
|
|
|
|
PAC (premature atrial contractions)
|
(150=250) beats per min
|
|
|
|
Afib ( atrial finrillation
|
erratic irregular activity and vary from Brady up to 350 per min

|
|
|
blood transporter
|
removes waste and transports blood to whole body. also picks up nutrients from duodenum then transfer to kidneys to filter
|
|
|
|

|
contracts/pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs and gets oxygenated blood
|
|
|
|
diastolic.
|
heart is at rest
|
|
|
|
rt atrium
|
receives this unoxygenated blood via superior/inferior vena cava then to tricuspid valve then right ventricle then rt ventricle pumps blood into the lungs via pulmonary artery
|
|
|
|
left atrium
|
receives oxygenated blood from limgs via pulmonary veins then blood flows to mitral valve then to left ventricle ( it is the strongest chamber on the heart left ventricle)
