REPOLARIZATION - Answer-movement of ions across cell membrane where inside of
cell is restored to its negative charge. Sodium channels close. Potassium channels
open. Active transport by sodium-potassium pump

DEPORIZATION - Answer-ELECTRICAL

CONTRACTION - Answer-is mechanical. contraction follows depolarization.

What occur first? electrical conduction, or mechanical contraction? - Answer-
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTION

P WAVE - Answer-atrial depolarization

QRS - Answer-ventrical depolarization

T WAVE - Answer-ventricular repolarization

REFRACTORY PERIOD - Answer-the period of resistance to stimulation, cardiac cells
unable to respond to stimulus

relative refractory period - Answer-cardiac cells have repolarized enough to respond to
strong stimulus

automaticity - Answer- Ability of pacemaker cells to spontaneously initiate an electrical
impulse, SA node, AV junction, and Purkinje fibers

excitability - Answer- ability to respond to stimuli

conductivity - Answer- Ability to receive an electrical stimulus and conduct that impulse
to adjacent cells - all cardiac cells possess this.

contraction - Answer-Cardiac cells shorten, causing muscular contraction in response to
an electrical stimulus
