Term
List an anticoagulant
Definition
Hepirin, Asprin, Coumidin
Term
What is a Megakaryocyte?
Definition
Precursor cell of platelets
Term
What is a thromboembolytic disease?
Definition
A condition that causes undesireable clot formation
Term
What is an example of a thromboembolytic disease?
Definition
Thrombus
Term
How does an embolism cause an infarc?
Definition
It gets caught in a blood vessel, blocking the blood from providing oxygen to tissue beyond that point and that tissue dies
Term
List two layers of the parietal pericardium.
Definition
Dense fibrous connective tissue, simple squamous epithelium
Term
What closes the semilunar valves?
Definition
Backflow of blood during ventricle relaxation
Term
What closes the AV valves (cuspids)
Definition
Contraction of the ventricles
Term
List two anatomical characteristics of cardiac muscle tissue.
Definition
Intercalated discs, uninucleated
Term
List two functions of the fibroskeleton.
Definition
Electrical isolation of the atriums to the ventricles, Helps heart keep its shape
Term
Where is the fibroskeleton anchored in the heart?
Definition
Between the atriums and the ventricles
Term
The action potential in cardiac muscle hapens slower or faster than the action potential of skeletal muscle?
Definition
slower
Term
What causes the difference in the action potential speed between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
Definition
Ca+ goes in as K+ comes out
Term
The pacemaker of the heart is the?
Definition
SA node
Term
When the pacemaker of the heart fails the _________ takes over?
Definition
AV node
Term
What pacemaker produces a slower heart rate, SA or AV node?
Definition
the AV node
Term
The two types of modified cardiac muscle cells used in the electrical system in the heart?
Definition

Nodal cells and Conducting Fibers

Term
The portion of the cardiac electrical system that directly delivers the action potential to the ventricular myocardium is the?
Definition
Purkinje fibers
Term
Define Thrombus
Definition
A blood clot
Term
Define Incompetent valve.
Definition
A valve that does not open or close properly
Term
Define Arrythmia
Definition
irregular heart beat
Term
Define ectopic focus
Definition

A place in the heart, other than a node that, that spontaniously depolarizes.  (Can cause PVC)

Term
Define a 2nd heart sound.
Definition
closing of the semilunar valves
Term
Define Atrioventricular bundle.
Definition

Conducting fibers that connect the AV node through the myocardial interventricular septum to the left and right bundle branches.

Term
What is the phase of the cardiac cycle during which the ventricles are being topped off?
Definition
Atrial systole
Term
What is the phase of the cardiac cycle during which the A-V Valves are closing?
Definition
Ventricular systole
Term
The period during the cardiac cycle in which all 4 valves are closed and the pressure is dropping within the ventricles is called?
Definition
isovolumetric relaxation
Term
The benefit of having such a long refractory period in the cardiac action potential is?
Definition
It keeps the heart from going into tetany
Term
