Ventricular fibrillation is the term for rapid irregular contractions of the ventricles. Because the contractions are unsynchronized and random, the ventricles do not pump effectively. The patient may have no palpable pulse, and the condition can be fatal.
The heart has two contraction cycles, one is the systole and the other one is the diasole. Both are fired by one impulse from the Cranial Nerve X. The delay required for the ventricles to contract are a result of the atrrioventricular node that pauses the impule until the ventricles are filled with blood.
medical term for swelling
Aort- is the medical terminology combining form meaning aorta.
Cardiac auscultation is the medical term meaning listening to the heart.
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
Hydrocephalus
The heart has two contraction cycles, one is the systole and the other one is the diasole. Both are fired by one impulse from the Cranial Nerve X. The delay required for the ventricles to contract are a result of the atrrioventricular node that pauses the impule until the ventricles are filled with blood.
The ventricles are the fluid-filled cavities of the brain.
Atrial fibrillation is the medical term meaning the irregular, uncoordinated, ineffective twitching contraction of the walls of the atria. A related condition is ventricular fibrillation, which occurs in the lower chambers of the heart.
Contraction is the medical term meaning the normal shortening or tightening of a muscle.
Ventriculoplasty is the medical term meaning surgical repair of a ventricle of the heart. The ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart.
contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens
Ventricul- is the medical terminology combining form meaning ventricles. It applies to both brain and heart ventricles.
The medical term for a hormone that stimulates contraction of the uterus during labor is oxytocin.
Inter- is the medical terminology combining form meaning between. Examples are interdigital (between the fingers) and interventricular (between the ventricles.)
Contracture or contraction
Asystole means without contraction of the heart. Atony is a term used to denote no normal muscle contraction of the uterus.
