P wave
|
spread of electrical activity over atrium; depolarization of the atria contraction
|
|
QRS wave
|
spread of electrical activity over ventricle myocardium; depolarization of ventricle contraction
|
|
T wave
|
repolarization, as the ventricle prepares to fire again
|
|
sinus venosus
[refer to frog video demonstration] |
frog's pacemaker
|
|
SA node
[refer to frog video demonstration] |
human pacemaker
|
|
atrial contraction
[refer to frog video demonstration] |
1st peak, smaller peak
|
|
ventricular contraction
[refer to frog video demonstration |
2nd peak, larger peak
|
|
atrioventricular groove
|
space between atria and ventricles
|
|
What neurotransmitter does the parasympathetic system use?
|
Acetylcholine
|
|
What neurotransmitter does the sympathetic system use?
|
Epinephrine
|
|
What occurs during a heart block?
[refer to frog demonstration video] |
The electrical impulse cannot get from the atria to the ventricle.
|
|
ligature
[refer to frog demonstration video] |
hread used to tie around a vessel (as to constrict the flow of blood)
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Cold temperature |
Heart beats slower
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Warm temperature |
Heart beats faster
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Acetylcholine |
Slowed heart down too much; put heart into cardiac arrest
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Epinephrine |
Heart speeds up
|
|
Why does a frog's heart continue to beat even though it is cut out of its body?
|
Due to the sinus venosus
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Zapped with electricity |
Heart will drain out and contract again
|
|
What was used to produce a heart block in the frog's heart?
|
Ligature
|
|
What effect did the following have on the frog's heart?
Heart block |
No ventricular contraction
There is only one peak (atrial contraction). |
|
What causes the first sound of the "lubb-dupp"?
|
Snapping shut of AV valves as the ventricles contract
|
|
What causes the second sound of the "lubb-dupp"?
|
Closing of semilunar valves as the ventricles relax
|
