Cardiac Electrical Activity Automaticity of the heart: the heart is capable of Generating rhythmical electrical impulses Conduct the impulses rapidly through the heart The atria contract about one sixth of a second ahead of ventricular contraction To allows filling of the ventricles before they pump the blood into the circulation Why?

The Specialized Excitatory and Conductive System of the Heart The sinoatrial (S-A node) The internodal pathway The atrioventricular (A-V node) The atrioventricular bundle (Bundle of His) Purkinje fibers

Conduction of Impulses Sinoatrial node (S-A node): Located in the superior lateral wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava Pacemaker of the heart Its rate of rhythmic discharge is greater than any other part in the heart Highest frequency Is capable of originating action potentials Why?

Conduction of Impulses

Conduction of Impulses Atrioventricular (A-V) node: Located in the posterior wall of the right atrium Delay in the conduction of impulses (0.1 sec) Allows time for the atria to empty the blood into the ventricles before ventricular contraction begin Why?

Conduction of Impulses

Conduction of Impulses The Purkinje System Purkinje fibers are very large fibers Transmit action potentials at a very high velocity (0.1-4.0 m/sec) very high permeability of gap junctions  ions are transmitted easily from one cell to the next  enhance the velocity of transmission Ventricular muscle contract at almost the same time Why?

Conduction of Impulses The Purkinje System Penetrate atrioventricular fibrous tissue  divides into right and left bundle branches  each branch spread toward the apex of the heart  divide into small branches  penetrate and become continuous with cardiac muscle fibers

Spread of the cardiac impulse through the heart

Control of Excitation and Conduction in the Heart The impulse normally arise s in the sinus node The Sinus Node is the Pacemaker of the Heart Its rate of rhythmical discharge is faster than that of any other part of the heart Why?

Abnormal Pacemakers Ectopic pacemaker: a pacemaker elsewhere than the sinus node The cause: Any other part of the heart develops a rhythmical discharge rate that is more rapid than that of the sinus node Example: the A-V node or in the Purkinje fibers

Abnormal Pacemakers Blockage of transmission of the cardiac impulse from the sinus node to the other parts of the heart Example: A-V block  cardiac impulses fails to pass from atria into the ventricles the atria continues to beat at the normal rate of rhythm of the S-A node a new pacemaker develops in the Purkinje system with a new rate

Control of Heart Rhythmicity and Impulse Conduction by the Cardiac Nerves The heart is supplied with both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves Parasympathetic nerves (vagi): mainly to the S-A and A-V nodes Sympathetic nerves: all parts of the heart with strong supply to the ventricles

Parasympathetic stimulation of the heart  rate of rhythm of the S-A node  transmission of impulses to the A-V node Strong stimulation of the vagi: Stop completely the rhythmical excitation by the S-A node Block completely transmission of cardiac impulses from the atria to the ventricle Some point in the Purkinje fibers develops a rhythm of its own “Ventricular Escape”

Sympathetic stimulation of the heart  rate of rhythm of the S-A node  transmission of impulses to the A-V node  force of contraction
