- Which of the following is not correct regarding the heart? ventricular fibrillation occurs from autorhythmic cells firing out of sequence the majority of cells are contractile, very few are autorythmic the atria and the ventricles contract at the same time both ventricles contract almost at the same timearrow_forwardThe heart’s pacemaker is called the (complete term)_________. The pacemaker is composed of specialized________. The pacemaker first sends impulses that stimulate contraction of both_______. The (complete term)________introduces a delay in the transmission of pacemaker signals into the ventricles. Signals are conducted from this node directly into fibers called the________ . If the pacemaker loses control of heart contractions, ineffective quivering of the heart muscle, called_________, may occur.arrow_forwardIn the figure below on the left, label the P, QRS and T waves. Describe what is happening in the heart in the P wave: Relate the P wave to the cardiac cycle:o Is the heart in systole or diastole?o Is the pressure high or low?o Where is blood flowing?
