Echo Registry Review Questions with Correct
Answers
Produced when a signal from the SA node spreads through the atria on a
ECG Correct Answer-P-Wave
Detects electrical current in the heart Correct Answer-Electrocardiogram
Generated by ventricular repolarization Correct Answer-T-Wave
produced when signal from AV node spreads through ventricular
myocardium and depolarizes muscle Correct Answer-QRS complex

Short branched cell found in the heart Correct Answer-Cardiocyte
Stores and pumps calcium ions Correct Answer-Sarcoplasmic reticulum
,Plateau phase of the cardiac action potential Correct Answer-Phase 2
Begins halfway through Phase 0 until part way thru phase 3 Correct
Answer-(Absolute ) Refractory period
allow action potential to spread through cells Correct Answer-Gap
junctions
Fast Na+ channels open in this phase Correct Answer-Phase 0
Phase in which cell is not stimulated ( resting membrane potential )
Correct Answer-Phase 4
Autoarythmic cells are also known as Correct Answer-pacemaker cells
Phase 4 in autoarythmic cells differ from phase 4 in cardiocytes in which
way ? Correct Answer-phase 4 in autoarythmic cells has no stable
resting membrane where as in cardiocytes, phase 4 has a resting
membrane potential.
Sequences of changes within the cell which causes it to depolarize and
repolarize. Correct Answer-Action potential
A Cardiocyte is a :
,a. Autoarythmic cell
b. Contractile Cell
c. A gap junction cell
d. excitile cell Correct Answer-b. Contractile cell
The inward movement of ions is known as Correct Answer-Influx
part of the cell that allows the voltage stimulation wave to travel from
cell to cell. Correct Answer-Gap Junctions

Desmosomes
What brings action potential to the sarcoplasmic reticulum Correct
Answer-T Tubules
