|
|
What causes the heart sounds
|
OPENING AND CLOSING OF VALVES
|
|
The contraction phase of the heart is called
|
SYSTOLE
|
|
In a normal heart, what functions as the pacemaker?
|
SA NODE
|
|
Which pathway speeds up heart rate?
|
SYMPATHETIC
|
|
Neurotransmitters increase the flow of ions through the If (HCN) channels in the SA Node, would this increase or decrease heart rate?
|
INCREASE HR
|
|
The autorhythmic cells depolarize spontaneously because the Na+ open upon ____________ from the previous action potential
|
HYPERPOLARIZATION
|
|
Regarding the depolarization of autorhythmic cells, place the following statements in the correct sequence:
a. Voltage gated Ca++ channels open, calcium enters the cell. b. Repolarization occurs when voltage-gated K+ are opened c. Ion channels (HCN or If channels) open upon hyperpolarization d. Na+ enters the cell causing depolarization e. Upstroke and action potential occurs. C D A E B |
C - Ion channels (HCN or If channels) open upon hyperpolarization
D - Na+ enters the cell causing depolarization A - Voltage gated Ca++ channels open, calcium enters the cell. E - Upstroke and action potential occurs B - Repolarization occurs when voltage-gated K+ are opened |
|
During excitation-contraction coupling of the heart muscle tissue, depolarization of the myocardial cells causes what ion to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
|
CA IONS
|
|
Calcium will bind to ______________ to stimulate muscle contraction (in skeletal and cardiac muscle).
|
TROPINON
|
|
Parasympathetic neurons release Ach which increases cell permeability to which ion? Does this cause heart rate to decrease or increase and why?
|
TO K ION – CAUSES DECREASE – TAKING FURTHER AWAY FROM THRESHOLD
|
|
The conducting tissues of the heart are responsible for carrying electrical impulses through the heart muscle, ultimately causing muscle contraction. Place the conducting tissues of the heart in the sequence that describes the path of the electrical impulse through the heart.
a. Av node b. Purkinje fibers c. Sa node d. Bundle of His/bundle fibers C A D B |
C - SA NODE
A - AV NODE D - BUNDLE OF HIS (OR BUNDLE FIBERS B - PURKINJE FIBERS |
