Cardiovascular System (Heart)

QuestionAnswer
The three main components of the cardiovascular system are _______, blood vessels and the _______ blood; heart
The function of the cardiovascular system to maintain adequate__________ of all body tissues perfusion
True or False: All arteries carry oxygenated blood False
A common error is to describe arteries as the vessels that always transport __________ blood instead of describing it as a vessel that takes blood ___________ from the heart oxygenated; away
The _________ of the heart receive blood and the ________ pump blood to the lungs and body tissues atria; ventricles
The ______________ ___________ carries blood away from the right ventricle and branches into the pulmonary arteries pulmonary trunk
The pulmonary circulation includes the movement of blood to and from the __________ for gas exchange lungs
The systemic circulation includes movement of ____________ blood through the left side of the heart oxygenated
The _______________ system is responsible for transport of the blood in the body circulatory
The delivery of blood per unit time per gram of tissue is called ___________ perfusion
The two basic types of blood vessels are ____________, which carry blood away from the heart, and ___________ which carry blood toward the heart arteries/veins
Which options are part of the cardiac muscle cells? -Myofibrils -Fasciculi -T tubules -Sarcolemma Myofibrils, T tubules, Sarcolemma
Atrial contraction causes which to occur? -Causes Closure of the semi lunar veins -Compresses the openings of the great veins -Pushes blood into ventricles Compresses the openings of the great veins Pushes blood into ventricles
The __________ atrium and ventricle are prominent when viewing the heart from the posterior view Left
Cardiac output is defined as the amount of blood pumped by one _________ and expressed as liters per minute Ventricle
An agent that causes an increase in stroke volume is known as a ___________ _____________ agent. positive inotropic
Afterload is fairly constant in healthy individuals but can increase and cause heart problems when a patient has disease that cause narrowing or __________ of the arteries stiffening
When heart rate and stroke volume increase, cardiac output _______. increases
_________ __________ is a measure of how effective the cardiovascular system is in fulfilling its function in transporting life supporting substances through the body Cardiac output
The volume of blood pumped by one ventricle in one minute is defined as ____________ __________ Cardiac output
Cardiac output is determined by ___________ ___________ and heart rate stroke volume
A trained male athlete has a larger heart than a woman who does not exercise so we would expect his heart rate to be ________. Lower
Cardiac reserve is an increase in cardiac output above its level at rest. Therefore a trained athlete would be expected to have ________ compared to a non-athlete. A greater ability to increase the cardiac output
A __________ ____________ agent is one that results in an increase in the heart rate positive chronotropic
The __________ _________ agents decrease heart rate by causing hyperpolarization of the cell membrane potential negative chronotropic
The __________ reflex protects the heart from overfilling atrial
Stroke volume (SV) in a healthy adult is approximately ________ 70 mL
An increase in venous return can cause an increase in stroke volume an increase in end diastolic volume an increase in preload
____________ Law explains the relationship between venous return and stretch of the walls of the hearts (preload). Frank-Starling
Factors that result in an increase in venous return include _________ and a decreased heart rate exercise
True or False: Increasing systemic blood pressure would increase afterload True
During diastole, the myocardium of a chamber ___________, and the chamber fills with blood Relaxes
The contraction of a heart chamber is called _____________ Systole
Toward the end of ventricular filling, the left and right ______________ contract simultaneously Atria
The atria are relaxed during atrial __________ the ventricles are contracting during ventricular __________. diastole; systole
During the cardiac cycle, blood flows from veins into the atria under __________. low pressure
When ventricular pressure rises significantly, the AV valves ________, and the semilunar valves are forced _______ due to increased pressure in the ventricles, allowing blood to enter the large arterial trunks close; open
When the ventricles contract, the _________ close as blood pushes against the cusps of the AV valves, and their edges meet to form a seal. Atrioventricular valves
During _________ contraction, _________ valves are open Atrial; AV
When the ventricles contract, the _________ valves are forced open, and blood enters the pulmonary trunk and the aorta Semilunar
Passive filling of the ventricles through the open ___________ valves occurs at the beginning of the cardiac cycle while the ventricles are in ________ Atrioventricular; diastole
Which event occur during atrial contraction and ventricular filling phase of the cardiac cycle? Blood flow into the atria from the veins is restricted The ventricles have reached ESV SA node initiates atrial contraction The ventricles have reached EDV Blood flow into the atria from the veins is restricted SA node initiates atrial contraction The ventricles have reached their EDV
Atrial contraction causes which to occur? Compresses the openings of the great veins Pushes blood into ventricles Causes closure of the semilunar valves Compresses the openings of the great veins Pushes blood into ventricles
______________ contraction is the beginning of the ventricular contraction Isovolumetric
The __________ contraction phase of the cardiac cycle includes closure of the AV and semilunar valves even though the purkinje fibers have initiated ___________ contraction Isovolumetric; ventricular
The amount of blood that leaves the heart during the ventricular contraction is called the ______ _________ Stroke volume
During ventricular __________, pressure on blood in the ventricles forces the semilunar valves to open, and blood is ejected into the arterial trunks contraction
