Defects in inactivation can prolong the action potential and lead to long QT syndrome. OB. It is refractory. OC.A slower inactivation gate keeps the channel shut in response to sustained depolarization. OD. It fires transiently early on in the action potential and is not active during the late plateau. OE. All are true.

Which ONE of the following statements is TRUE? OA Cardiac myocyte contraction results primarily from an increased concentration of intracellular Na OB Prazosin is an agonist at a2 adrenergic receptors OC Veins can accommodate large volumes of blood but this causes a large increase in pressure OD The pulse pressure is the addition of systolic and diastolic pressure OE The primary integrating centre for baroreceptor reflexes is the medullary cardiovascular centre
What is a difference in membrane potential in the auto-rhythmic vs contractile cardiomyocyte auto: has a plateau; contractile has a pacemaker (rising resting membrane potential) auto: Na flows initiates depolarization; contractile: K+ initiates depolarization auto: unstable resting Vm contractile: stable resting Vm O O
Which of the following characteristics imparts autorhythmic cells with the ability to function myogenically? a the have prolonged action potentials due to the action of Ca2+ which causes a plateau during depolarization b they have a threshold that is below their resting membrane potential c their action potentials are controlled by mechanically-gated ion channels instead of voltage-gated channels d they have If channels which increase permeability to Na+ at rest, causing depolarization to threshold e the rising, depolarization, phase of their action potential is due to Ca2+ influx instead of Na+ influx.
How does the L-type voltage-gated channels on the contractile myocardial fibers rapidly closing affect the heart? the on the contractile myocardial cells will have a lower resting potential long action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells faster depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells Shorter action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells larger magnitude of depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells
In the absence of neural and hormonal influences the SA node generates action potentials at a frequency of approximately 100 times per minute. However, the resting heart rate is approximately 70 beats per minute, which suggests that: O the parasympathetic nervous system has more control over heart rate while at rest O the sympathetic nervous system has more control over heart rate while at rest the heart is undergoing vagal escape while at rest the heart is not autorhythmic
Leaky Na+ channels in the cells of the SA Node do which of the following? a-allow a slow repolarization which causes the delay in the AV Node b-allow a slow depolarization which causes the atria to contract for a longer time and fill the ventricles more completely c-allow a slow repolarization which brings the membrane potential back to a resting state d-allow a slow depolarization that eventually reaches the threshold for voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
Sympathetic stimulation increases the phosphorylation of the Ca2+ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. What effect does this have on cardiac function? It increases the rate of diastole It decreases the stretch of the ventricles The rate of systole decreases
The role of the bundle of his, bundle branches, and purkinje fibers is to Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the top of the heart first before allowing the contraction to spread to the atria. Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the whole ventricle. Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the bottom of the heart first to allow it to spread from the bottom to the top of the heart. To allow the electrical pulse (action potential) to pause for 0.1s before spreading to the ventricle.
The pressure in the aorta changes throughout the cardiac cycle. During systole, as the heart contracts, the outflux of blood into the aorta causes an increase in pressure, whereas during diastole the pressure decreases as the heart relaxes. A simple model for the aortic pressure waveform is given by the Windkessel effect described by the image below. In this model, the heart is considered a pressure generating pump which is directly connected to an elastic compartment (the aorta), which in turn is connected to a rigid set of peripheral vessels (the hose of the firefighter). 5 Pump Heart Air Windkessel Elastic arteries In order to find the aortic pressure waveform from the Windkessel model, a mass balance formulation around the aorta must be formulated. Coming into the aorta from the heart we have the flowrate Q(t). According to conservation of mass, this inflow rate Q(t) must be equal to the outflow rate into the peripheral vessels and the change in volume of the aorta. To find these…
