These cells have _________________________________ that permit them to have an electrical syncytium, allowing for nearly simultaneous stimulation between them.

Thinking back to your physiology class, the cell type above has a unique structure that interlocks these cells together called the [cardiac1]. These junctions have adherence proteins called [cardiac2].

List all waves, intervals and segments of an ECG wave. Include the normal time range for each interval and segment.

A positive test in the patient’s blood would indicate the death of ____________________________ (cell type).

All the following proteins are in the A Band except:

Stimulation: [axis1] Endocrine gland affected: [axis2] Hormone release: FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE Target organ: [axis3] Response: [axis4]

Compare the action potential of a pacemaker cell and a non-pacemaker cell. Include all phases and ion movement (BE SPECIFIC!).

There is virtually no latent period between the point of stimulation and contraction of cardiac cells.

The skin has many receptors to respond to touch. The receptor for sensing vibration is

Pressure receptors in the blood vessel detect a sudden decrease in blood pressure. To attempt to return blood pressure to normal, the pituitary gland secretes _________________________________.
