What else can I help you with?
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
Why is the direction of the wave contraction important to the heart?
the atria contracts first then the ventricle hencep qrs
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.
What is a stimulus that results in no perceptible contraction?
A subthreshold stimulus is one that does not generate a strong enough signal to elicit a perceptible contraction in muscle fibers. It is below the threshold required to cause an action potential and result in muscle contraction.
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
The minimum stimulus needed to cause a contraction is called the?
The minimum stimulus needed to cause a contraction is called the threshold stimulus. This is the minimal level of stimulation required to activate muscle fibers and initiate a contraction response.
How does the t-tubule structure contribute to the contraction of muscle fibers?
The t-tubule structure in muscle fibers helps transmit electrical signals deep into the cell, allowing for coordinated contraction of the muscle fibers.
Do muscles fibers stretch during contraction?
No, they contract.
Where does the mitral valve allow blood to enter during contraction of left ventricle?
The mitral valve allows blood to enter the left ventricle from the left atrium during contraction of the left ventricle. This valve opens to allow blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle and then closes to prevent backflow of blood.
