Exercise 6: Cardiovascular Physiology: Activity 1: Investigating the Refractory Period of Cardiac Muscle Lab Report
2. Phase 2 of the cardiac action potential, when the calcium channels remain open and potassium channels are closed, is
called the
You correctly answered: a. plateau phase.
4. The main anatomical difference between the frog heart and the human heart is that the frog heart has
You correctly answered: c. a single, fused ventricle.

Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: When you increase the frequency of the stimulation, what do you think will happen to the amplitude
(height) of the ventricular systole wave?
Your answer : b. The amplitude will decrease.
Predict Question 2: If you deliver multiple stimuli (20 stimuli per second) to the heart, what do you think will happen?
Your answer : c. wave summation and tetanus
Enter the number of ventricular contractions per minute (from the heart rate display) in the field below and then click
Submit Data to record your answer in the lab report.
You answered: 60 beats/min
During which portion of the cardiac muscle contraction is it possible to induce an extrasystole?

Post-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.
1. The amplitude of the ventricular systole did not change with the more frequent stimulation because
You correctly answered: a. a new contraction could not begin until the relaxation phase
2. Which of the following do you think contribute to the inability of cardiac muscle to be tetanized?
You correctly answered: a. the long refractory period of the cardiac action potential
3. Given the function of the heart, why is it important that cardiac muscle cannot reach tetanus?
You correctly answered: b. The ventricles must contract and relax fully with each beat to pump blood.
4. An extrasystole corresponds to
You correctly answered: c. an extra ventricular contraction.

Review Sheet Results
1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent the ventricular contraction.
Your answer:
Layar osiloskop memantau kekuatan kontraksi, jadi masuk akal jika gelombang yang lebih besar diproduksi oleh ventrikel,
karena mereka memiliki lebih banyak massa otot (lebih banyak miosit).
2. Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate
your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action potential.) How well did the results compare with your
prediction?
Your answer:
Tidak seperti otot rangka yang dapat diaktifkan kembali sebelum menyelesaikan kontraksi, otot jantung harus menunggu
hingga hampir sepenuhnya rileks untuk diaktifkan kembali (karena periode refraktori yang lama), sehingga Anda tidak dapat
menghasilkan peningkatan kekuatan kontraksi dengan tinggi. frekuensi stimulasi.
4. Explain why wave summation and tetanus are not possible in cardiac muscle tissue. How well did the results compare
with your prediction?
Your answer:
Seperti yang dinyatakan dalam pertanyaan 2 di atas, sel otot jantung memiliki periode refraktori yang lama, hal ini
memastikan bahwa jaringan otot jantung tidak dapat merangkum (penjumlahan gelombang) atau menuju ke tetanus - yang
merupakan hal yang hebat bagi kita
