100

What can decrease the heart Rate?

Parasympathetic branch

100

Where is located the Sinoatrial node?

In upper right portion of right atrium

100

What is the definition of Depolarization?

Is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

100

What is the Cardiac cycle?

The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart from the ending of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next.

100

what do electrical system of the heart control?

controls the timing of your heartbeat by regulating your:

  • Heart rate, which is the number of times your heart beats per minute.
  • Heart rhythm, which is the synchronized pumping action of your four heart chambers
200

What can increase the heart rate?

Sympathetic branch

200

Where do normal conductions begins?

Sinoatrial node

200

What is the definition of Repolarization?

Is the change in membrane potential that returns it to a negative value just after the depolarization phase of an action potential which has changed the membrane potential to a positive value. 

200

What is the definition of cardiovascular system?

The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart from the ending of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next

200

Your heart electrical system should maintain in what rate?

A steady heart rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. The heart's electrical system also increases this rate to meet your body's needs during physical activity and lowers it during sleep

300

What is the definition of autonomic nervous system?

Is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.

300

Which is the node who causes delay in electrical impulse allowing blood to travel ventricles?

atrioventricular 

300

In repolarization is true that cell return to a resting? True or False?

True

300
What are the 4 stages from the cardiac cycle?

Isovolumic relaxation, inflow, isovolumic contraction and ejection

300

The heart happens as follow?

  1. The SA node (called the pacemaker of the heart) sends out an electrical impulse.
  2. The upper heart chambers (atria) contract.
  3. The AV node sends an impulse into the ventricles.
  4. The lower heart chambers (ventricles) contract or pump.
  5. The SA node sends another signal to the atria to contract, which starts the cycle over again.
400

What are the three branches of the autonomic nervous system?

Sympathethic nervous system

parasympathethic nervous system

enteric nervous system

400

What do bundle of his transfer?

Transfers electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles via bundle branches

400

State of stimulation proceding contraction and electrical activiation of heart cca its because of what?

Depolarization

400

In what can be divided the cardiac cycle events?

diastole and systole

400

What are two different types of cell in your heart enable the electrical signal to control your heart?

  • Conducting cells carry your heart's electrical signal.
  • Muscle cells enable your heart's chambers to contract, an action triggered by your heart's electrical signal.
500

Which is the system that is the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response?

autonomic nervous system

500

Do bundle branches split the electrical impulse down the right and left side? True or False?

True

500

Heart relaxes by no allowing for refilling or the chambre? True or False

False

500

How long is a cardiac cycle?

The average adult person at rest has 65 to 75 heartbeats (cardiac cycles) per minute. One complete cardiac cycle takes about 0.8 seconds. Atrial systole, where the atria contract and eject blood into ventricles, lasts about 0.1 seconds.

500

What causes heart electrical problems?

These include: Coronary artery disease, other heart problems and previous heart surgery. Narrowed heart arteries, a heart attack, abnormal heart valves, prior heart surgery, heart failure, cardiomyopathy and other heart damage are risk factors for almost any kind of arrhythmia. High blood pressure.
