Question
Answer
Which specialized cardiac muscle fibers are smaller, have fewer gap junctions and fewer intercalated discs than regular cardiac muscles fibers?   AV Node  
🗑
How would these specialized cells (AV Node) function differently than regular cardiac muscle?   SLOWER conduction speed through the AV node (.01 m/sec vs. 0.3 m/sec for working atrial muscle)  
🗑
Name the blood vessel described: primary factor in maintenance of normal arterial blood pressure   Arteriole  
🗑
Name the blood vessel described: Endothelium usually the most responsive to histamine and so is very important in the inflammatory response   Venules  
🗑
Name the blood vessel described: Often associated with phagocytic cells   Discontinuous sinusoids  
🗑
The Atheromatous plaque begins in the A_________(layer) of the B._________ (vessel)   A. Tunica Intima B. Arteries (is not found in veins)  
🗑
What type of capillaries would be expected in an endocrine gland?   Fenestrated capillaries  
🗑
Compared to a medium sized artery, a medium sized vein has more A.______ and less B. ________   A. Collagen B. Smooth muscle and elastic  
🗑
Which cells of the heart secrete angiopeptins?   Atrial myocytes  
🗑
Which group of cardiac muscle cells has the SLOWEST transmission speed?   AV Node  
🗑
Give the components of the parietal pericardium.   Outer dense fibrous layer and Inner serous layer  
🗑
Calcific Valve disease usually affects the ________ valve.   Aortic valve  
🗑
What are the two main consequences of atheroma in the coronary arteries?   Impaired blood flow and Thrombus formation (blood clot)  
🗑
Describe the parietal pericardium: The outer layer is composed of A. ______ and the inner layer is composed of B.________   A. Dense fibrous CT membrane B. Inner Serous Layer  
🗑
What type of capillary would most likely be found in endocrine organs?   Fenestrated capillary  
🗑
In most people, the sinoatrial (SA) node in the pacemaker. What makes it the pacemaker?   Greatest rate of intrinsic depolarization  
🗑
The atrial and ventricular muscles are connected by the _______   Cardiac skeleton  
🗑
Describe the tunica media of an elastic artery.   Alternating sheets of smooth muscle and elastic  
🗑
What portion of the conducting system pierces the cardiac skeleton?   AV Bundle  
🗑
What would happen if this structure was damages?   There would be no conductance to the ventricles  
🗑
How does the cytology of purkinje fibers differ from that of regular cardiac muscle fibers?   Larger cells, more gap junctions, more intercalated discs, increased glycogen, decreased myofibrils  
🗑
The parietal pericardium is non- distensible. Describe why?   Due to the dense fibrous connective tissue in it.  
🗑
Which cells of the arteriole would likely secrete a product which inhibits platelet aggregation?   Endothelial cells in the tunica intima  
🗑
Describe the structure of the least permeable capillary   Continuous endothelium and basil lamina w/occluding junctions  
🗑
Which cells of the heart secrete a product which causes relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and the loss of sodium and water through the kidney?   Atrial myocardial cells (myocyte) secrete atrialpeptins  
🗑
Choose the items below which describe an elastic artery. Put all correct. A. is primarily responsible for the maintenance of normal arterial blood pressure   false (arterioles are responsible for pressure)  
🗑
Choose the items below which describe an elastic artery. Put all correct. B. has a pronounced internal elastic lamina   true  
🗑
Choose the items below which describe an elastic artery. Put all correct. C. has abundant elastic in its tunica media D. has abundant smooth muscle in its tunica media   true  
🗑
How does the structure of the lacteal relate to its function?   Discontinuous basal lamina, large molecules  
🗑
In the heart, elastic tissue is an important component of the ______.   atrial myocardium  
🗑
Painful red streaks radiating from a puncture wound would suggest inflammation of the ______.   lymphatic vessels  
🗑
What type of capillary contributes to the blood-air barrier in the lung?   continuous epithelium  
🗑
