Interareterial pathway
|
Movement of current between gap junctions from right to left letria
ensures both are depolarized and contract simultaneously |
Electrical conductivity of the heart
|
SA NODE -> ATRIA -> Av node --> VENTRICLES -> bundle of his --> INTRAVENTRICULAR SEPTUM -> purkinje fbers -> VENTRICULAR MYOCARDIUM
|
AV nodal delay
|
For complete ventricle fillingmakes sure atrium completely dpolarizes and contracts
without it, heart would contract at same time |
Parasympathetic influence on SA node
|
Delay rise to threshold and recovery (same AP)
|
Sympathetic influence on SA Node
|
Faster increase the threshold (same AP)
|
P WAVE
|
Atrial depolarization though internodal
|
PR SEGMENT
|
AV nodal delay (no net current)
|
QRS complex
|
(sympathetic)
ventricular depolarizing and repolarizing |
ST segment
|
No net currentventricles are completely depolarized
contractile cells @ plateaeu ventciles are contracting/emptying |
T WAVE
|
(parasympathetic)
ventricular repolarization |
TP inerval
|
Heart completely repolarized and at rest
ventricular is filling |
Tachycardia
|
RAPID heart rate >100 bpm
|
Brachycardia
|
SLOW heart rate <60bpm
|
Atrial flutter
|
Atria beating at high rate >200 bpm
|
Atrial fibrillation
|
Rapid irregular chatoic depolarization of atria (weird P wves)
AV node impules are irregular, little ventricular filling |
