The video explains the electrical conduction system of the heart, detailing its components such as the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers, and their roles in heart function. It also covers the electrophysiology of cardiac cells, including depolarization and repolarization processes, and the importance of understanding these for EKG interpretation and patient treatment.

The Electrical Conduction System of the Heart EXPLAINED!
Concepts covered:sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, bundle of His, Purkinje fibers, depolarization
The video explains the electrical conduction system of the heart, detailing its components such as the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers, and their roles in heart function. It also covers the electrophysiology of cardiac cells, including depolarization and repolarization processes, and the importance of understanding these for EKG interpretation and patient treatment.
Question 1
The SA node is the heart's main pacemaker.
Question 2
Which electrolyte imbalance affects cardiac depolarization?
Question 3
The bundle of His is the only route between _____ and ventricles.
Question 4
CASE STUDY: A patient in the ICU shows irregular EKG patterns. The nurse suspects an issue with the heart's conduction system.
Identify the incorrect application of EKG interpretation.
Question 5
CASE STUDY: A patient with electrolyte imbalance shows abnormal EKG results. The nurse evaluates the impact on the heart's conduction system.
Select three correct impacts of electrolyte imbalance.
Question 6
The bundle of His is supplied by the left coronary artery.
Question 7
What is the intrinsic rate of the SA node?
Question 8
Purkinje fibers are responsible for initiating _____ in muscle cells.
Question 9
CASE STUDY: A patient with a history of coronary artery disease is admitted with chest pain. The nurse needs to assess the heart's electrical conduction system.
Identify the incorrect assessment of the conduction system.
Question 10
The AV node has an intrinsic rate of 60-100 bpm.
Question 11
What is the primary role of Purkinje fibers?
Question 12
The AV node delays the signal to allow _____ to contract.
Question 13
Calcium is vital for cardiac muscle contraction.
Question 14
How does the AV node affect heart contraction timing?
Question 15
The sodium-potassium pump helps maintain cell _____.
Question 16
EKG measures electrical, not mechanical, heart activity.
Question 17
What initiates the heart's electrical conduction system?
