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 ________ has the thickest wall because it pumps blood to the ________. left ventricle; systemic circuit
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
Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle? visceral pericardium (epicardium)

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
The first heart sound caused by closure of the ______ valves. atrioventricular
The last in the cardic conduction sequence is the _______. purkinje fibers
The electrical initiation of a heartbeat begins in the _______ chamber wall. right atrium
The central cardiac control region is in the _______ of the brain. medulla oblongata

For one complete cycle of blood flow through the heart one should listen to how many heasounds that are due to the valves opening and closing? 4
A stethoscope placed at the upper tip of the sternum will be best to detect which sound? tricupsid valve
Which fiber system is the first to depolarize in a cardiac cycle? sinoatrial (SA) node
Which chamber of the heart contains the natural in situ pacemaker? right atrium
The cardiac reflex control centers are located within the _______. medulla obolongata
