blister agents / vesicants Correct Answers
chemicals that severely blister eyes/ lungs/ skin on
contact
blood agent Correct Answers poisons absorbed
into the blood
cardiac conduction system in depth (anatomy 102
review don't need to know but helps w/ pulse
physiology) Correct Answers Heart has 2 cardiac
myocytes (cells of the heart) populations
- non pace maker (NPC)
- pace maker cell (PMC) = specialized cells
spontaneously depolarizing and generating action
potentials
Both work together by having PMC action
potentials trigger NPC to stimulate a contraction of
the heart
,cardiac conduction system = clusters of
pacemaker cells located through out the heart
- SA node = main pacemaker in UR atrium,
depolarizes spontaneously 60 bpm
- AV node = back up pacemaker in LR atrium
pacing 40 bpm and produces AV node delay
allowing atria to depolarize and contract before the
ventricles to allow ventricles to fill w/ blood
- Purkinje system = impulse from AV node
transmitted to ventricles to collective group of PMC
(Purkinje system) which pace slowly but conduct
rapid impulses
its made of 3 parts....
* AV bundle
* R/L bundle branches
* Purkinje fibers
choking/lung/pulmonary agents Correct Answers
chemical irritation and swelling of the respiratory
tract
