Front Back
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
