combo of everything i need to remember for the TEAS
“Strong Arteries Benefit Body’s Performance”
SA Node → AV Node → Bundle of His → Bundle Branches → Purkinje Fibers

ECG Polarizations:
Depolarization = Contraction
Repolarization = Relaxation
Atrial Depolarization → Atrial Contraction
Ventricular Depolarization → Ventricular Contraction
Ventricular Repolarization → Ventricular Relaxation
ECG Basics:
“ABC P-QRS-T”
P WAVE → Atrial Depolarization

T WAVE → Ventricular Repolarization

“QRS Complex looks like an inverted V”
V stands for ventricles → Ventricular Depolarization
Systolic Pressure:
“LUB & Squeeze!”
Contraction of the heart

MYOSIN: thick filaments → fibrous globulin of muscles that split ATP & react to actin in muscle contraction

Sliding Filament Model:
“Candy Canes & Polar Bears Ready!”
CALCIUM ACTIVATION → Ca2+ binds troponin, exposing actin binding sites
CROSS-BRIDGE FORMATION → myosin head binds to actin
POWER STROKE → ADP & Pi released = myosin head pull actin filament to M-line, shortening sarcomere
BRIDGE DETACHMENT → ATP binds to myosin head, detaching from actin
REACTIVATION → ATP hydrolyzed recocks myosin head for next cycle
