Conduction of the Heart: Cardiac Knowledge for Nursing Students
SimpleNursing・2 minutes read
Reduce study time by over 60% with resources from Dr. Mike on simplenursing.com explaining the cardiac system, highlighting the importance of heart muscle cell depolarization and the role of the SA node as the heart's pacemaker.
Insights
- Dr. Mike from simplenursing.com emphasizes the importance of understanding the cardiac system's conduction, highlighting the interconnected heart muscle cells that transition from negative to positive charges during depolarization for effective muscle contraction.
- The SA node, situated in the Atria, plays a pivotal role as the heart's pacemaker, maintaining a sinus rhythm of 60 to 100 beats per minute by orchestrating the transition of charges within the Atrial muscle, a fundamental process for heart contraction.
