Depolarization - ANS- internal of cellular will become fantastic, out of doors bad
- contraction
- na+ channel opens
- ELECTRICAL
repolarization - ANSmovement of cells = interior is negative once more
- na+ channels close, k+ channels open
- MECHANICAL
p wave
qrs wave
t wave - ANS- (p) atrial depolarization
- (qrs) ventricular depolarization
- (t) ventricular repolarization
refractory duration - ANSper of time in which cardiac cells cannot respond to stimulus
absolute refractory duration - ANSbeginning of qrs to height of t wave
relative refractory (inclined consistent with of repolarization) - ANS- cardiac cells have
repolarized enough to respond to sturdy stimulus
- at some stage in this in step with a strong stimulus may overtake the pacemaker of the heart
- ex. PVC throughout vulnerable length may additionally develop into vtach or torsades
- prolonged QT c program languageperiod inc opportunity
causes of extended qt periods - ANShaldol, bradycardia, hypokalemia
automaticity - ANSability of pacemaker cells to initiate electric impulse
excitability - ANSability of muscle cells to reply to outside stimulus
conductivity - ANSability to recieve electrical stimulus and behavior impulse to adjacent cells
contraction - ANScardiac cells shorten = muscular contraction in reaction to electric stimulus
sa node - ANS- number one pacemaker of heart
- 60-90 bpm
