The SA node makes the action potential for the heart. Atrial systole must occur after the action potential.

What is the cardiac effect of a drug that blocks parasympathetic activity?

Increased firing of the sinoatrial node (SA) and conduction through the atrioventricular node (AV) of the heart, because the actions of the vagus nerve are opposed/blocked.


Is the p wave part of the cardiac cycle?

Yes - On an ECG the P wave is the first wave of the cardiac cycle. It represents the Sinoatrial node which is the natural pacemaker of the heart firing and causing the atria to contract in order to fill the ventricles.

Why Heart rate is up when hand in cold water?

Due to increased sympathetic stimulation of efferent neurons from the cardiac accelerator center in the brain medulla. This results in an increased firing rate from the Sinoatrial Node and increased conductivity leading to greater contractility.


Why does p r interval shorten during exercise?

The TP interval reflects the period between ventricular repolarization (recovery) and atrial depolarization (excitation). This shortens during exercise because in order to meet increased skeletal muscle demand, the heart rate increases. (Among other things.) In order to have a higher HR, either the contraction must be faster or the relaxation must be shorter. The easiest to alter is the relaxation-this is done by the sinoatrial node firing more frequently, causing a shorter rest period. The rest period is relfected in the ECG by the TP interval.

What is the total momentum of the bullet and the gun after firing?

Exactly the same as whatever it was before firing. If the loaded gun was not movingbefore the trigger was pulled, then the total momentum of the gun and bullet afterfiring add up to zero.


Are the purjinke fibers the hearts pacemaker?

SA node (sinoatrial) is primary pacemaker, SV node (sinoventricular) is secondary. Purkinje fibers are the very last pacemaker on the list. If a heart gets down to firing on that it, the person is just about dead and needs IMMEDIATE medical attention. Its max rate per minute is 30. A normal heart rate is b/n 60-100 beats per minute.
