Termini in questo insieme (16)
Which chamber of the heart form the apex
Left ventricle
Superficial or outer layer that protect and anchor the heart to surrounding structures. Compose by dense connective tissue.
Fibrous pericardium
Double walled sac that surrounds the heart
Pericardium
Reduces friction between the heart and surrounding structure
Serous pericardium
Layers of the pericardium
Parietal layer- Internal surface
Visceral layer -external surface of the heart
Layer of the heart made up of cardiac tissue and act as contractile muscle cell
Myocardium
Layer of the heart that contains endothelium cell , and is simple squamous epithelium
Endocardium
Muscular irregular ridges on the walls of the ventricles
Trabecula carnae
Help prevent the AV valves prolapse during ventricular contraction
Papillary muscle
Allows ion to pass directly from cell to cell
Gap junction
Anchor neighboring cells together
Desmosomes
Vessels that supply the myocardium
Left and Right Coronary Artery.
In pacemaker cell what ion is involve in the depolarization state.
Calcium
What happen when calcium channels remain open during the depolarization of the contractile cardiac muscle
Plateau phase , prevent tetanic contraction
During depolarization phase the cells inside becomes more
positive
What blood vessels supply the myocardium
RT and LT coronary arteries
