in cardiac muscle histology, intercalated discs contains:
desmosomes
to prevent separation
to allow ions (current) to pass
in cardiac muscle histology, intercalated discs contains:
gap junctions

ability of the cardiac muscle to respond to an electrical stimulus by contracting
Conductivity
Automaticity
Irritability
ability of the cardiac muscle to create its own stimuli due to leaky membrane
Conductivity
Automaticity
Irritability
action potential initiated in one cardiac muscle spreads through the entire myocardium
Conductivity
Automaticity
Irritability
which statement is true about cardiac muscle contraction?
Contracts spontaneously and does not need nervous stimulation
Contract voluntary and controlled by conscious thought.
Contracts primarily influenced by hormonal signals.
muscle fibers that behave like nerve tissue which is unique to the heart
Autorhythmic fibers
Neural fibers
If the SA node is impaired or blocked, which will initiate action potential?
Bundle of His or AV node
AV node & Purkinje Fibers
Action Potentials do not conflict with other, because SA node is
The SA node is the fastest and can overrides slower rhythm.
cardiac muscle contracts and relax before the end of the refractory period to prevent:
tetanic contraction
ischemia contraction
arrhythmia contraction
contractile fibers state close to -90 mV
Depolarization
Plateau
Repolarization
Resting Membrane Potential
contractile fibers is brought to threshold by an action potential from neighboring fibers
voltage-gated FAST Na+ channels open
Depolarization
Plateau
Repolarization
Resting Membrane Potential
membrane potential hits +20 to + 30 mV
spreads through gap junctions
Depolarization
Plateau
Repolarization
Resting Membrane Potential
slow Ca2+ channels open
calcium enters from ECF
to initiate contraction
Depolarization
Plateau
Repolarization
Resting Membrane Potential
Ca2+ channels close
K+ channels open
K+ leaves the cell
RMP of -90 mV restored
Depolarization
Plateau
Repolarization
Resting Membrane Potential
number of cardiac cycles (HEART BEAT) in one minute
measured in bmp (beats per minute)
average ~75 bpm for adult at rest
HR
SV
CO
volume of blood ejected from each ventricle per heartbeat
can be calculated = end dia. vol. - end. sys. vol
HR
SV
CO
volume of blood ejected by an individual ventricle in one minute
measured in mL/min
HR
SV
CO
ratio between maximum cardiac output and output at rest
average 4-5x
cardiac volume
cardiac output
cardiac reserve
controlled by what is happening within the body
Cardiac Output
Stroke Volume
Heart Rate
controlled by ANS
Cardiac Output
Stroke Volume
Heart Rate
carry oxygenated blood away from heart
arteries
veins
capillaries
more muscle
more elastic
higher pressure
no valves
not assisted by muscle
arteries
veins
capillaries
toward from heart
less muscle
less elastic
lower pressure
arteries
veins
capillaries
has valves

site of gas, nutrient, & waste exchange between blood & interstitial fluid
arteries
veins
capillaries
capillary exchange:
small molecules moving across capillary walls by concentration differences only
Direction depends on concentration:
If a substance is higher in blood → it diffuses into tissues
If it’s higher in tissues → it diffuses into blood
simple diffusion
transcytosis
bulk flow
filtration
reabsorption
capillary exchange:
facilitated into endo/exocytosis
simple diffusion
transcytosis
bulk flow
filtration
reabsorption
capillary exchange:
he movement of fluid and dissolved substances together, driven by pressure differences across the capillary wall.
simple diffusion
transcytosis
bulk flow
filtration
reabsorption
capillary exchange:
movement of fluid and solutes from BLOOD CAPILLARIES into INTERSTITIAL FLUID
simple diffusion

which pressure promotes Filtration during capillary exchange?
Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure (IFOP)
Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (IFHP)
Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP)
Blood Hydrostatic pressure (BHP)
which pressure promotes Reabsorption during capillary exchange?
Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure (IFOP)
Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (IFHP)
Blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP)
Blood Hydrostatic pressure (BHP)
alternating expansion and recoil of an artery with each beat of the heart
Tachycardia is
Bradycardia is
who has the fastest heart rate?
Adult female
Infants
Adult male
what affects heart rate?
pressure exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels
blood pressure is higher when
further from the pulse
further from the heart
closer to pulse
closer to the heart
blood pressure is determined by
cardiac input
peripheral resistance
x
cardiac output
peripheral allowance
higher PR is affected by:
increased blood viscosity (thickness)
which can be impacted by dehydration meanng
more RBCs
more plasma
fewer RBC
less plasma
higher PR is affected by:
decreased arteriolar diameter usually impacted by
Sympathetic System
Parasympathetic System
Hormones
Cold Temp
Heat
higher PR is affected by:
like for example in Obesity:
narrow vessels to supply extra tissue → ↑PR
shorter vessels to supply extra tissue → ↑PR
longer vessels to supply extra tissue → ↑PR
