Question
Answer
Which of the following statements describes the pericardium?   It is a two-part membrane that surrounds and protects the heart.  
🗑
Which blood vessel delivers deoxygenated blood from the head and neck to the heart?   superior vena cava  
🗑
Cardiac muscle fibers   are described by all of the above  
🗑
The chordae tendineae and papillary muscles of the heart   help prevent the atrioventricular valves from protruding into the atria when the ventricles contract.  
🗑
Which chamber of the heart has the thickest layer of myocardium?   left ventricle  
🗑
The normal "pacemaker" of the heart is the   sinoatrial (SA) node  
🗑
In normal heart action   the two atria contract together, and then the two ventricles contract together  
🗑
Heart sounds are produced by   closure of the heart valves  
🗑
Heart rate and strength of contraction are controlled by the cardiovascular center, which is located in the   medulla  
🗑
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the   P wave  
🗑
The opening of the semilunar valves is due to the pressure in the   ventricles exceeding the prssure in the aorta and pulmonary trunk  
🗑
The blood supply to the myocardium is the   coronary circulation  
🗑
The Frank-Starling law of the heart   is important in maintaining equal blood output from both ventricles  
🗑
Which of the following sequences best represents the parthway of an action potential through the heart's conduction system?   d. 1, 4, 3, 5, 2  
🗑
Which of the following is NOT true concerning ventricular filling during he cardiac cycle?   The semilunar valves are open  
🗑
Cardiac output   equals stroke volume (SV) X heart rate (HR)  
🗑
Which of the following statements is NOT true?   A drop in blood pressure would cause baroreceptors to stimulate the cardiovascular center to increase parasympathetic impulses  
🗑
Sensory receptors that monitor changes in the blood pressure to the brain are   baroreceptors in the carotid arteries  
🗑
The blood vessels that allow the exchange of nutrients, wastes, oxygen, and carbon dioxide between the blood and tissue are the   arteries  
🗑
Autoregulation is   an ability of a tissue to adjust its blood flow  
🗑
Blood flows through the blood vessels because of the   establishment of a pressure gradient  
🗑
Which of the following represents pulmonary circulation as the blood flows from the right ventricle?   trunk --> arteries --> capillaries --> veins  
🗑
Supplying additional fat tissue with blood may raise blood pressrue because   of an increase in total vessel length  
🗑
Filtration of substances out of capillaries occurs when the capillary blood pressure is ___ and blood colloid osmotic pressure is ___.   high, low  
🗑
Which of the following pairs of hormones have opposite effects on blood pressure?   ADH, ANP  
🗑
Which of the following statements about blood vessels is true?   walls of arteries are generally thicker and contain more elastic tissue than walls of veins  
🗑
Why is it important that blood flows slowly through the capillaries?   it permits the efficient exchange of nutrients and wastes between the blood and body cells  
🗑
Aldosterone affects blood pressure by   increasing reabsorption of sodium ions and water kidneys  
🗑
In a blood pressure reading of 110/70   70 represents the pressure of the blood against the arteries during ventricular relaxation  
🗑
Which of the following statements is NOT true?   regulation of blood vessel diameter originates from the hypothalamus  
🗑
Venous return to the heart is enhanced by all of the following EXCEPT   vasodilation  
🗑
valve between the left atrium and left ventricle   biscuspid (mitral) valve  
🗑
valve between the right atrium and right ventricle   tricuspid valve  
🗑
chamber that pumps blood to the lungs   right ventricle  
🗑
chamber that pumps blood into the aorta   left ventricle  
🗑
chamber that receives oxygenated blood from lungs   left atrium  
🗑
chamber that receives deoxygenated blood from body   right atrium  
🗑
valve between the left ventricle and aorta   aortic valve  
🗑
valve between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk   pulmonary vavle  
🗑
wall between lower heart chambers   interventricular septum  
🗑
sac-like structure located on anterior surface of atrium   auricle  
🗑
wall between upper heart chambers   interatrial septum  
🗑
may cause a heart murmur   valve disorder  
🗑
heart compression   cardiac tamponande  
🗑
inflammation of heart covering   pericarditis  
🗑
heart chamber contraction   systole  
🗑
chest pain from ischemia   angina pectoris  
🗑
heart attack   myocardial infarction  
🗑
heart chamber relaxation   diastole  
🗑
