Cardiac 1

6. increases HR, speed of impulse conduction through AV node, and the force of atrial & ventricular contraction
10. injury vessel wall injury
11. amount of blood ejected from each ventricle with each contraction
12. force of contraction
13. amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute
15. # of contractions of ventricles each minute affected by Sympathetic NS & epinephrine
16. mechanical state of heart at the end of diastole with ventricles at max volume

1. ability to discharge an electrical impulse spontaneously
2. decreased HR by slowing SA node rate thus the conduction by AV node
3. ability to generate an electrical impulse at regular intervals
4. ability to send an electrical impulse from one area to the next along an electrical pathway
5. abnormal blood coagulation (process by which blood changes from liquid to gel) that increases risk of thrombosis
7. stasis blood pooling
8. force required to eject blood from ventricles
9. initiates changes in HR & arterial pressure in response to hypercapnia stimulating vasomotor center to increased cardiac activity
14. sensitive to stretch and pressure
