  2. FOXP2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOXP2

    It is believed that a major part of this speech deficit comes from an inability to coordinate the movements necessary to produce normal speech including mouth and tongue shaping. [27] Additionally, there are more general impairments with the processing of the grammatical and linguistic aspects of speech. [ 8 ]

  3. Purkinje fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_fibers

    The Purkinje fibers, named for Jan Evangelista Purkyně, (English: / p ɜːr ˈ k ɪ n dʒ i / pur-KIN-jee; [1] Czech: [ˈpurkɪɲɛ] ⓘ; Purkinje tissue or subendocardial branches) are located in the inner ventricular walls of the heart, [2] just beneath the endocardium in a space called the subendocardium.

  4. Bundle of His - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_of_His

    The bundle of His (BH) [1]: 58 or His bundle (HB) [1]: 232 (/ h ɪ s / "hiss" [2]) is a collection of heart muscle cells specialized for electrical conduction.As part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, it transmits the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node (located between the atria and the ventricles) to the point of the apex of the fascicular branches via the ...

    Proximal: starting at RCA origin, spanning half the distance to the acute margin [6] [7] Middle: from proximal segment to the acute margin [6] [7] Distal: from middle segment to origination point of the posterior interventricular artery, where the posterior interventricular sulcus meets the atrioventricular groove on the base of the heart. [6] [7]

  6. Cardiac conduction system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_conduction_system

    A slow heart rate of 60 or less beats per minute is defined as bradycardia. A fast heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute is defined as tachycardia. An arrhythmia is defined as one that is not physiological such as the lowered heart rate that a trained athlete may naturally have developed; the resting heart rates may be less than 60 bpm.

  7. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  8. Coronary circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_circulation

    Severe ischemia can cause the heart muscle to die from hypoxia, such as during a myocardial infarction. Chronic moderate ischemia causes contraction of the heart to weaken, known as myocardial hibernation. [citation needed] In addition to metabolism, the coronary circulation possesses unique pharmacologic characteristics.

  9. Coronary arteries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_arteries

    Coronary artery disease (CAD) or ischemic heart disease are the terms used to describe narrowing of the coronary arteries. [8] As the disease progresses, plaque buildup can partially block blood flow to the heart muscle. Without enough blood supply , the heart is unable to work properly, especially under increased stress.
