BIO 208: A&P - CARLA 13
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Blood returning from the systemic circuit first enters the | Right atrium |
| Identify the factor that will increase cardiac output | increased parasympathetic stimulation |
| According to Starling's law of the heart, the cardiac output is directly related to | the venous return |
| As a result of the long refractory period, cardiac muscle cannot exhibit | tetany |
| In which situation would the stroke volume be the greatest? | when venous return is increased |
| Under conditions of hypercalcemia cardiac muscles become | extremely excitable |
| The cardioacceleratory center in the medulla oblongata activates what neurons? | sympathetic |
| Relaxation of the ventricles is called | ventricular diastole |
| The heart is innervated by? | both parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves |
| The volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during a contraction is called the | stroke volume |
| The P wave of the ECG corresponds to | atrial depolarization |
| The left ventricle pumps blood to | the systemic circuit |
| The function of an atrium is to | collect blood |
| The left and right pulmonary veins carry blood to the | heart |
| Which of the following is true regarding cardiac muscle? | Neither summation nor tetany can occur |
| The pacemaker cells of the heart are located in the | SA node |
| Depolarization of the ventricles is represented on an electrocardiogram by the | QRS complex |
| The first heart sound is heard when | the AV valves close. |
| Which of the following the refractory periods is longer? | cardiac muscle |
