Study Notes
Heart Location and Structure
- The heart is located in the left mediastinum.
- The heart is surrounded by the pericardium.
Heart Chambers
- The heart has four chambers.
Heart Node
- The sinoatrial (SA) node initiates the heart's action potential.
Heart Rate
- The intrinsic rhythm of the SA node is up to 100 beats per minute.
ECG Waves
- The P wave represents atrial depolarization.
- The phase corresponding to ventricular repolarization in an ECG is the T wave.
Muscle Type
- Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary.
Functional Unit of Skeletal Muscle
- The functional unit of skeletal muscle is the sarcomere.
Muscle Contraction
- Tropomyosin is a muscle protein that binds to calcium ions to initiate contraction.
- Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to trigger muscle contraction.
Cardiac Cycle
- The heart sound S2 is caused by the closure of the semilunar valves.
- The first heart sound, S1, is caused by the closure of the atrioventricular (AV) valves.
- Ventricular filling occurs during atrial contraction and before ventricular systole
ECG Intervals
- The QT interval on an ECG represents ventricular depolarization and repolarization.
- The PR interval represents the delay at the AV node.
Other Cardiac Anatomy and Physiology
- Normal adult heart rate range is 60-100 beats per minute.
- The pericardium is the outermost layer surrounding the heart.
- The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron.
- The SA node is the primary pacemaker of the heart.
- Specific cells, like SA and AV node cells, are responsible for conducting electrical impulses.
- The typical position to auscultate the mitral area is the left 5th intercostal space mid-clavicular line.
- A stethoscope is used to auscultate heart sounds to identify any abnormalities.
- A murmur is an abnormal heart sound.
- "Stenosis" means valve narrowing.
- An abnormal heart sound is called a murmur.
- The left lateral position is good for auscultating mitral sounds.
- A high-pitched late-diastolic murmur indicates mitral stenosis.
- S3 is a heart sound during ventricular diastole.
- S1 coincides with ventricular contraction.
