What is The function of left and right bundle branches?
The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.
What does the sinoatrialnode release when it fires?
An action-potential which then travels to the Bundle of His and then the purkinje fibers to depolarize the ventricles to cause contraction.
Contraction of the right ventricle causes?
blood to flow into the pulmonary circulation
What is the sequence of blood through the heart?
The wave of contraction in heart is initiated by S.A. Node which leads left auricles to contract. This wave of contraction is received by A.V.Node which contracts right auricle and spreads the wave of contraction to bundle of his and finally to purkinje fibre which contracts the two ventricles simultaneously anterioposteriorly. Therefore sequence of contraction is 1Left Auricle 2 Right auricle 3 ventricle
What happens to the blood when the left ventricle contracts?
Contraction of the left ventricle results in the blood being pumped out into the Aorta (through the Aortic Valve) where it is then sent to all the body's arteries. The mitral valve prevents blood flowing into the left atrium when the ventricle contracts.
The ventricle contraction of the heart occurs iummediately after depolarization of the?
purkinje fibers
What are two fibers that cause contraction?
Actin and myosin are two fibers that cause contraction.
What is The function of left and right bundle branches?
The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.
What does the sinoatrialnode release when it fires?
An action-potential which then travels to the Bundle of His and then the purkinje fibers to depolarize the ventricles to cause contraction.
Is the AV node the slowest conducting tissue in the cardiac conduction and contraction?
Yes. The AV node is the slowest conducting tissue of the heart. You can reason that the delay in the AV node exists to allow for maximal ventricle filling before contraction. After the AV node completes depolarization, the Perkinje fibers lay claim to the quickest conduction to best reach the ventricle muscle in one large burst providing maximal contraction. I hope this is helpful.
What is the cause of compensatory pause after an extrasystole?
Extrasystole is due to the irregular contraction of the ventricle before the atria. When this happens, an action potential is elicited and the ventricle contracts. The action potential had a refractory period, during which the intrinsic heart rate attempts to fire but cannot elicit a contraction. This is why extrasystole is often referred to as skipping a beat. The compensatory pause is the time it takes for the beat to resume normal contraction.
Contraction of the right ventricle causes?
blood to flow into the pulmonary circulation
How much blood is ejected per contraction from each ventricle?
2
Do muscles fibers stretch during contraction?
No, they contract.
What is the type of contraction in which the muscle fibers produce increased tension but does not shorten?
An isometric contraction builds tension but there is no joint movement.
What is another name for ventricular contraction?
It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
Network that stimulates the myocardium into contraction?
His bundle? or the Purkinje fibers?
