| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Pericardial fluid is serous. It allows the heart to beat without friction in the p. sac. true or false | true |
| The right and left ventricles are seperated by the interventricular septum. true or false | true |
| Blood in all veins is relatively low in oxygen. true or false | false |
| When an atrium is in systole the ventricle is in diastole. true or false | tue |
| The choradae tendineae are fibrous strings that attach the papillary muscles to the semilunar (SL) valves. tue or false | false |
| The tricuspid valve prevents a back flow of blood into the right atrium. true or false | true |
| During ventricle contraction, all valves attached to the heart skeleton close. true or false | false |
| The blood in the pulmonary arteries has a relatively high CO2 concentration. true or false | true |
| Patients complain of diaphoresis (difficultly breathing) during MI. true or false | false |
| Artial pressure is greatest with relaxation in ventricles and contraction in artia. true or false | false |
| At the onset of ventricle contraction, the pressure (P) in them exceeds artial. true or false | true |
| A heart murmur is head when the valves do not close sufficiently. true or false | true |
| A functional syncytium occurs of a cardic muscle cell is when one cardiac muscle cell causes the surrounding one to inhibit their beat. true or false | false |
| The ECG tracing is a measurement of the contraction sequences of the heart. true or false | false |
| A slow heart rate; diagnosed as bradycardia, is abnormal and should be treated. true or false | false |
| The technique called defilbrillation is the application of an electric current to the chest wall with the desired effect of directly stabalizing the abnormal heart rhythm. true or false | false |
| Either hyperkalemia or hypokalemia could cause an irregular heart rhythm. true or false | true |
| An increase in blood Ca2+ (hyperkalemia) can cause the heart to increase its pressure and have the prolonged QRS interval. true or false | true |
| Which layer of the heart coverings serves the dual purpose of lining the pericardium and forming the outermost wall of the heart? | visceral pericadium (epicardium) |
| The layer of the heart that forms a smooth, protective lining of the heart chambers and valves is the ________. | endocardium |
| The bicupsid vavle _________. | is located on the left side of the heart |

| Freshly oxygenated blood enters the heart through the ______, and is pumped out the _______. | left atrium; aorta |
| Someone suffering a heart attack in his anterior lower right ventricle probably had a blockage in which coronary artery? | anterior ventricular |
| When do the AV valves close during the cardiac cycle? | when ventricular pressure exceeds that of the atria |
| How does the impulse to contract slow down slightly before it is transferred into the ventricles? | junctional fibers leading into the AV node have very small diameters |
| What does the QRS wave on the ECG indicate? | the ventricles are depolarizing while the atris repolarize |
| The inability of the left ventricle to pump blood adequately to the body's cells indicative of ______. | cardic tamponade |
| A condition in which there is a congential predispostion for a ruptured aorta is _______. | Marfan syndrome |

| The pulmonary semilunar valve prevents a back-flow of blood into the _______. | right ventricle |
| The aortic semilunar valve prevents blood from returning to the ______. | left ventricle |
| Which structure contains the lowest amount of oxygen? | vena cava |
| Cardiac output can be determined by the following formula. | HR x SV |
