What critical role does the nodal system play in heart physiology?
Normal impulse conduction
The normal pattern of impulse conduction through the heart is?
SA node, AV node, AV Bundle, Bundle branches, subedocardial branches (purkinje fibers)
In coronary conduction the electrical impulse is released at what level of the coronary electrical system?
With Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, the heart has an extra nerve, or "accessory pathway" that electrically connects the _____ to the _____.
How fast do brainwaves travel?
The fastest nerve conducts an impulse at 120 metres per second. However transmission speed is related to diameter, and so nerves with a smaller diameter conduct impulses at a much slower speed. In general, the conduction velocity is approximately equal to 6 x axon diameter in micrometres. The constant value of 6 is referred to as the Hursh factor.
What characterizes the normal operation of the heart?
each part contracts in a specific order. Contraction of the muscle is triggered by an electrical impulse. These electrical impulses travel through specialized cells that form a conduction system. Following this pathway ensures that contractions will
What is the point in the intrinsic conduction system where the impulse is temporarily delayed?
Av node
What is the difference between impulse conduction and transmission?
Impulse conduction refers to the propagation of action potentials along a single neuron or muscle fiber. Impulse transmission involves the transfer of action potentials from one neuron to another across a synapse. In summary, conduction occurs within a single cell, while transmission occurs between cells.
Does the saltatory conduction reduce the energy expenditure of the sodium potassium pump for impulse transmission?
yes
Which is the correct sequence in the transmission of a neural impulse?
dendrite, cell body, axon, synapse
What is impulse conduction?
Party of nervous
What is impulse conduction is fastest in neurons?
Impulses that travel along myelinated neurons are the fastest.
What impulse conduction is the fastest in neurons?
Saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps between Nodes of Ranvier, is the fastest impulse conduction in neurons. This method allows for rapid transmission of electrical signals along the axon, speeding up communication within the nervous system.
When the nerve impulse encounters a myelin-covered section of neuron?
When the nerve impulse encounters a myelin-covered section of a neuron, it jumps between the nodes of Ranvier, allowing for faster transmission speed due to saltatory conduction. Myelin acts as an insulator, preventing the impulse from dissipating and increasing the efficiency of signal transmission along the neuron.
What kind of neurons does impulse conduction occur in the fastest?
nig
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
What features of nerves improve impulse conduction velocity?
myelin sheaths
