To recover normal rhythm, the surgeon decides to apply a few drops of __________________________, a substance usually released during sympathetic stimulation of the heart. 

During the Q wave, the conduction of the heart is moving through

The heart has no outside control, it is only controlled by the pacemaker cells of the heart.

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!).
