Lab Exercise 4

QuestionAnswer
Intrinsic Stimulation caused by specialized, noncontractile cells called autorhythmic cells
Intrinsic Conduction System initiates action potentials for cardiac muscle fiber contraction and provides a pathway for conducting the action potential to all cardiac muscle fibers
Extrinsic Stimulation ANS and hormones, only increase or decrease the intrinsic pace
Electrocardiograph records electrical changes in the heart
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) chart recording of the electrical events before each heartbeat
P Wave atrial depolarization, just before atrial contraction
QRS Complex ventricular depolarization, before ventricles contract. Occurs during atrial repolarization
T Wave ventricular repolarization, before ventricles contract
P-Q Interval the time interval between the beginning of contraction of the atrium and the beginning of the contraction of the ventricle
Q-T Interval the time from beginning of ventricular depolarization until the end of ventricular repolarization - ventricles are contracting
S-T Segment represents the time the ventricular fibers are fully depolarized
Normal Sinus Rhythm normal heart rate of 60-100 beats/min
Tachycardia HR >100 beats/min
Bradycardia HR <60 beats/min
Fibrillation from prolonged tachycardia, rapid uncoordinated heart contractions that do not pump blood
Complete Heart Block ventricles depolarizing independently from the atria
Heart Block produced by cardiac damage to the AV node or bundle, reducing electrical conduction from atria to ventricles, P-Q interval >0.2 seconds
Right or Left Bundle Block two ventricles do not contract simulatneously and QRS is prolonged.
Myocardial Ischemia decreased blood flow, longer Q-T interval
Myocardial Damage lengthens Q-T interval
Mean Electrical Axis (MEA) average direction of depolarization as the impulses spread into the ventricles.
Hypertrophy of one ventricle shifts the MEA toward the hypertrophied ventricle, because it takes longer to depolarize, about +59 degrees
Mean Electrical Magnitude average voltage of depolarization
T/F: EKGs give info about the force of contraction of the cardiac muscle False
Aside from the ANS, what other factor causes extrinsic stimulation hormones
Cardiac Cycle time in seconds for one heartbeat

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
