The T-wave on a cardiac monitor tracing is evidence of what change in polarization? - Repolarization of the ventricles What anatomical structure located at the top of the larynx closes the airway and prevents foreign bodies from entering the trachea - Epiglottis Which of the following structures is most likely to cause obstruction of the airway when an anesthetized patient is lying in a supine position - Tongue Blood is pumped to the lungs from the heart through which of the following vess...

Excitability correct answers the ability of non-pacemaker heart cells to respond to an electrical impulse that begins in pacemaker cells. Depolarization correct answers occurs when the normally negatively charged cells within the heart muscle develop a positive charge. Conductivity correct answers the ability to send an electrical stimulus from cell membrane to cell membrane. As a result, excitable cells depolarize in rapid succession from cell to cell until all cells have depolarized. Ex:...
