Term
aneurysm
Definition
sac-like extension within a vessel due to a weak wall
Term
cerebral vascular accident (CVA) (stroke)
Definition
brain tissue is deprived of blood supply (blockage in artery or ruptured artery) resulting in death of brain tissue
Term
Cardiac cells in resting state
Definition
self stimulating
Term
Polarization

Term
Depolarization
Definition
neib to neib to neib of gap junctions. Electrical & fundamental. Contraction & mechanical

Definition
contracting 20/40 BPM
Term
Ectopic focus
Definition
someplace else than SA ode sending out signal. Abnormal electrical
Term
P-Wave
Definition
deoplarization of atrial contractile fibers produces P wave
Term
QRS complex
Definition
Depolarization of ventricular contractile fibers produces QRS
