Describe the pumping action of the heart?
The pumping action involves the heart's chamber contracting and relaxing. The heart beat is one cycle of the heart going through this contraction and relaxation while pumping blood.
Each complete heart beat is called what?
cardiac cycle
What is the relaxation phase of the heart cycle called?
There are several different stages in the heart cycle at which different parts of the heart relax, but people are most often concerned about this as it pertains to blood pressure. In that case, the diastolic pressure is when the heart is relaxed.
What causes rhythmic beating of the heart?
When blood and air is tranferred into the heart, the heart has to start beating unless we are dead.The rhythmic beating of the heart is maintained by the Sinoatrial node (80-100 beats/minute), the Atrioventricular node (40-60 beats/minute) or the Purkinje fibers (20-40 beats/minute). It involves the membrane potential of specialized myocardial cells in these parts. Once regions of the heart are fully depolarized (such as the ventricles), contraction follows. Immediately following depolarization comes repolarization, and thus the cycle can repeat itself.How_is_the_rhythmic_beating_of_the_heart_maintained
Relaxation of the ventricles is?
Is the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles start to relax all four chambers are in diastole.
What is the alternating relaxation and contraction of the heart called?
Diastole is the relaxation phase. Systole is the contraction phase. If you put these phases together you have the Cardiac Cycle...
Is the sequence of contraction and relaxation is referred to as a pulmonary cycle?
no
What is the contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle called?
The contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle is called systole
During which 2 periods of the cardiac cycle do the heart muscle fibers exhibit isometric contractions?
Isovolumetric contraction and Isovolumetric Relaxation
During which portion of the cardiac cycle is it possible to induce extra systole?
Extrasystole is an extra ventricular systole that happens during the begging of relaxation (repolarization). Since the cardiac is able to depolarize only after repolarization, any stimulus upon the repolarization period created an increased ventricular contraction or which is also called extrasystole but not a new contraction.
What is the start of the contraction phase in a business cycle called?
Similarly, a period of recession occurs at the start of the contraction phase.
What is the operation of a camera during a cardiac blood pool scan?
The camera is synchronized with an electrocardiogram (ECG) to take a picture at specific times in the cycle of heart contraction and relaxation.
What are the turning points of the business cycle called?
The turning points of the cycle are called the peak, which is at the end of the expansion phase, and the trough, which is at the end of the contraction phase.
What is one complete heartbeat called?
The cardiac cycle.
Describe the pumping action of the heart?
The pumping action involves the heart's chamber contracting and relaxing. The heart beat is one cycle of the heart going through this contraction and relaxation while pumping blood.
Each complete heart beat is called what?
cardiac cycle
The complete process which is needed to produce ATP is called the?
Krebs cycle
