The cardiac cycle is one complete heart beat. During the cycle each atrium and ventricle will contract and relax once. THe contraction of the chamber is called systole and the relaxation is called diastole. The average

I thought people would be afraid of me‚ and I thought having a relationship with a girl would be very hard. I didn’t want to tell anyone about my problem and I didn’t want anyone to know.” Blake was diagnosed with epilepsy. Many of you might think‚ why this happens? why people with epilepsy loose control over

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary

the cardiac cycle. This cycle is controlled by the autorhythmic tissues of the heart (Wibbels & Vickery 2007). The cardiac cycle consists of two phases: the systole‚ or contraction phase‚ and the diastole‚ or relaxation phase. The wave of depolarization across the heart’s tissues is regulated by these autorhythmic tissues; this is what produces a consistent blood flow (Wibbels & Vickery 2007). Along with these autorhythmic tissues‚ the human heart also contains contractile tissues. Following

is specific for glucose). Internal glucose (unphosphorylated) concentration remains low providing a large concentration gradient for entry into the cell. Aerobic metabolism leads to increased ATP/ADP ratios and ATP sensitive K+ channels close. Depolarization activates voltage gated Ca2+ channels and insulin exocytosis. Insulin binds to the insulin receptor and activates a tyrosine kinase second messenger system. Auto phosphorylation of the insulin receptor causes insulin-dependent GLUT transporters

latent period does not change with different stimulus. Activity 2: Figure 2: Identifying the Threshold Voltage [pic] The threshold is the minimal stimulus needed to cause a depolarization of the muscle plasma membrane. It is the point at which sodium ions start to move into the cell for membrane depolarization. When we stimulated the voltage of 0‚ the active force showed a straight line such as depicted in figure 2. We kept on increasing the threshold hold voltage until it showed a value

CHOLINERGIC AGONISTS AND CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS CHOLINERGIC AGONISTS Overview “muscarinic receptor agonists” cholinergic agonists are drugs that act on acetylcholine receptors‚ thus causing excitation of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system there are 2 types of acetylcholine receptors 1) NICOTINIC RECEPTORS - are receptor-mediated ion channels - 3 types RECEPTOR TYPE MUSCLE TYPE GANGLION TYPE LOCATION - neuromuscular junction - sympathetic autonomic ganglia - parasympathetic autonomic

How things flow through the heart: • blood drains into the right atrium through the superior vena cava‚ inferior vena cava‚ and the coronary sinus (drains the heart muscle itself)→Right Ventricle→pulmonary semilunar valves→lungs→pulmonary veins→left atrium→bicuspid valve→left ventricle→aortic semilunar valve→systemic circuit. What the valves do: • Prevent backflow into the atria and ventricles‚ ensuring that blood only flows one way through the heart. what vessels bring blood to the heart and

result is that the SA signal going through the atria makes a normal P wave‚ but if that signal doesn’t trigger a response from the AV node‚ no QRS gets produced – so you’ll see a P wave that isn’t followed by a QRS. The QRS represents ventricular depolarization –
