DAANCE EXAM GRADED A+
Wave of Depolarization - correct answer an advancing wave of
charge reversal as the nerve impulse advance a long the neuron
Wakefullness system - correct answer consists of a central core in
the brainstem with neurons that radiate to the cortex
Vomiting Center - correct answer the center in the brainstem that
induces vomiting
Vital Centers - correct answer centers in the brainstem that control
such physiologic processes as blood pressure and pulse, depth
and rate of respiration
Vestibular nerve - correct answer part of the eighth cranial nerve
that is connect with equilibrium and hearing
,DAANCE
Venule - correct answer any of the small vessels that collect blood
from networks of capillaries and join them to form veins
Ventricular tachycardia - correct answer a cardia dsrhythmia in which
there is rapid firing of an ectopic focus in the ventricles and a
wide QRS complex with no p waves
Ventricular rhythms - correct answer a cardia dsrhythmia in which
the pacemaker is in the ventricles rather than in the SA node or
atria
Ventricular focus - correct answer a displace point of origin for a
dysrhythmia that is in the ventricles
Ventricular fibrillation - correct answer arrhythmia characterized by
contractions of ventricle muscle fibers due to rapid excitation of
myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the
ventricle
Sensory nerve - correct answer a nerve of the peripheral nervous
system that conducts impulses from a sense organ to the spinal
cord or brain
,DAANCE
Sinoatrial node - correct answer a microscopic collection of heart
muscle fibers where cardiac rhythm originates; also called the
pacemaker of the heart
sinus arrhythmia - correct answer a cardiac dysrhythmia similar to
normal sinus rhythm, but withslight variation in rate with
inspiration and expiration
sinus bradycardia - correct answer cardiac dysrhythmia similar to
normal sinus rhythm except for a slower rate of less than 60
bpm
sinus rhythms - correct answer cardiac rhythms in which the
pacemaker is the sinoatrial node
sinus tachycardia - correct answer dysrhythmia similar to normal
sinus rhythm except for an increase in rate of greater than 100
bpm but less than 150 bpm
stroke volume - correct answer the amount of blood ejected from a
ventricle during each beat of the heart
, DAANCE
subcutaneous - correct answer beneath the skin
superior vena cava - correct answer the venous trunk that drains
blood from the head, neck, upper extremities, and chest and
empties into the right atrium of the heart
supraventricular foci - correct answer central points of origin of
dsrhythmias, which are located above the level of the ventricles
in the atria
sympathommimetic - correct answer having activity that mimics the
effects of the sympathetic nervous system, epinephrine
synapse - correct answer the junction between two neurons where
impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another
synaptic cleft - correct answer the gap between two nerves where
they meet at a synapse
syncope - correct answer fainting
