PSL Week Eight/Nine
Across
- 3. This organ receives roughly 5% of an individual's resting blood flow.
- 4. This structure is often mistakenly believed to only carry deoxygenated blood.
- 7. Atrial pressure exceeds ventricular pressure during this phase of the cardiac cycle.
- 10. Changing this value causes the most significant change in resistance.
- 11. This valve is between the right atrium and ventricle.
- 13. Oxygenated blood enters the heart here.
- 14. These organs receive 100% of the cardiac output.
- 18. This calcium channel opens in response to a depolarization reaching threshold.
- 19. These fibers carry the electrical signal to the ventricles of the heart.
- 20. Voltage gated sodium channels are open at this phase of the ventricular AP.
- 21. Sodium flows through this following hyper-polarization.
- 22. Indirect measurement of heart depolarizations.
- 25. Phase of cardiac cycle which includes isovolumetric contraction.
Down
- 1. Responsible for the conduction delay of the cardiac action potential.
- 2. In a normal individual, this is the pacemaker of the heart.
- 5. Rapid heart rate.
- 6. Corresponds to ventricular depolarization.
- 8. The influx of this ion is responsible for the "plateau" of the ventricular AP.
- 9. This potassium channel opens in response to depolarization. Important for pacemaker potential.
- 12. Deoxygenated blood enters the heart here.
- 15. Movement of volume per unit time.
- 16. This structure drains blood into the right atrium.
- 17. This valve is between the left atrium and ventricle.
- 23. Regular P waves with regular QRS, but not bound to one another.
- 24. This structure is often mistakenly believed to only carry oxygenated blood.
