Below are drawings of three different action potentials. Two of these occur in the heart, and one occurs in skeletal muscle. Which one comes from a contractile cardiac muscle cell? A skeletal muscle cell? A cardiac pacemaker cell? For each one, state which ion is responsible for the depolarization phase and which ion is responsible for the repolarization phase.
High pressure in the systemic and pulmonary circuit often results in ventricular hypertrophy in which the ventricle enlarges to pump against the greater force. Which side(s) of the heart would affected by high pressure in the pulmonary circuit? Which side(s) of the heart would be affected by high pressure in the systemic circuit? Could you explain this answer? Thank you
The pressure in the aorta changes throughout the cardiac cycle. During systole, as the heart contracts, the outflux of blood into the aorta causes an increase in pressure, whereas during diastole the pressure decreases as the heart relaxes. A simple model for the aortic pressure waveform is given by the Windkessel effect described by the image below. In this model, the heart is considered a pressure generating pump which is directly connected to an elastic compartment (the aorta), which in turn is connected to a rigid set of peripheral vessels (the hose of the firefighter). 5 Pump Heart Air Windkessel Elastic arteries In order to find the aortic pressure waveform from the Windkessel model, a mass balance formulation around the aorta must be formulated. Coming into the aorta from the heart we have the flowrate Q(t). According to conservation of mass, this inflow rate Q(t) must be equal to the outflow rate into the peripheral vessels and the change in volume of the aorta. To find these…

In the figure below on the left, label the P, QRS and T waves. Describe what is happening in the heart in the P wave: Relate the P wave to the cardiac cycle:o Is the heart in systole or diastole?o Is the pressure high or low?o Where is blood flowing? Which valves are open? closed? o Which muscle fibers are contracting, if any?
What are the difference between contractile cells of the heart and electrical cells responsible for generation and conduction of impulses. Why is the cardiac action potential propagated more slowly in an AV node cell than in an atrial or ventricular myocyte? How are the channels and ions that are responsible for depolarization and repolarization work? How can be AV conduction affected by hypokalemia?
How does the L-type voltage-gated channels on the contractile myocardial fibers rapidly closing affect the heart? the on the contractile myocardial cells will have a lower resting potential long action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells faster depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells Shorter action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells larger magnitude of depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells
As a result of ventricular depolarization (T wave), calcium ions are returned to the sarcoplasmic reticulum and ventricular muscles relax. As the myocardium relaxes, the semilunar valves close.

Roberto is a 78-year-old male who has recently been diagnosed with Class III Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). His physician told him that his left ventricle has become stiff and cannot relax. Although there is no current treatment that can “fix” Roberto’s condition, he is prescribed two medications: an ACE inhibitor and beta blockers.Briefly describe how beta-blockers will influence Roberto’s heart function, specifically the physiology of the ventricles.
