Week 10 The Heart & Blood

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
The _____ drains much of the superficial leg and foot.   great saphenous vein  
🗑
In _____, blood moves from veins to other veins or arteries to other arteries without passing through an intervening capillary network.   vascular anastomoses  
🗑
The term blood type refers to the type of blood cell   antigen.  
🗑
A glycoprotein hormone that is secreted to increase oxygen concentration in the tissues is   erythropoietin.  
🗑
Erythrocytes begin their maturation sequence in red bone marrow from nucleated cells known as:   hematopoietic stem cells  
🗑
A graphic record of the heart’s electrical activity is a(n   ECG  
🗑
Which layer of the larger blood vessels is made up of endothelium?   tunica intima  
🗑
The normal ECG is composed of all of the following except a   E Wave  
🗑
After blood leaves the lungs and returns to the heart, it enters the   left atrium  
🗑
Mechanical devices that permit the flow of blood in one direction only are called   valves  
🗑
Microscopic vessels that carry blood from small arteries to small veins are   capillaries.  
🗑
A decrease in the amount of white blood cells is called   leukopenia.  
🗑
Atria are often called _____ because they receive blood from vessels called veins.   receiving chambers  
🗑
Blood flow from the heart through blood vessels to all parts of the body and back to the heart is referred to as _____ circulation.   systemic  
🗑
During fetal circulation, what opening in the septum, between the right and left atria, directs most of the blood so that it bypasses the fetal lungs?   foramen ovale  
🗑
The bulk of the heart wall is the thick, contractile middle layer called the   myocardium.  
🗑
Which of the following is not a formed element found in the blood?   Plasma  
🗑
The type of membranous tissue that lines the heart and blood vessels is the   endothelium.  
🗑
The normal cardiac impulse that initiates mechanical contraction of the heart arises in the   SA Node  
🗑
Which types of arteries are also called conducting arteries and include the aorta?   elastic arteries  
🗑
Which sphincters function as regulatory valves that reduce the flow of blood through a network of capillaries when they contract and constrict the arterioles?   precapillary sphincters  
🗑
he free edges of the atrioventricular valves are anchored to the   papillary muscles.  
🗑
Neutrophils are highly mobile and phagocytic. They migrate out of blood vessels and into tissue spaces. This process is called   diapedesis.  
🗑
The four structures that compose the conduction system of the heart are the   SA node, AV node, AV bundle, and Purkinje fibers.  
🗑
Which division of the autonomic nervous system sends fibers to the heart? sympathetic somatic parasympathetic   Both A & B , sympathetic parasympathetic  
🗑
The _____ is(are) supplied with blood from the left subclavian artery.   head and upper extremities  
🗑
From which vessels do myocardial cells receive blood?   coronary arteries  
🗑
The heart has its own special covering, a loose-fitting inextensible sac called the   pericardium.  
🗑
The brachiocephalic vein drains blood from the   head, neck, and upper extremity.  
🗑
The heart valves that are located where the trunk of the pulmonary artery joins the right ventricle and where the aorta joins the left ventricle are called   semilunar valves.  
🗑
Factors that affect the strength of myocardial contraction are called   inotropic factors.  
🗑
Cardiac output is determined by   stroke volume and heart rate.  
🗑
Starling’s law of the heart states that, within limits, the longer, or more stretched, the heart fibers are at the beginning of the contraction, the   stronger the contraction.  
🗑
The localized pressure gradient needed to maintain blood flow in a tissue is called   perfusion pressure.  
🗑
Blood viscosity stems mainly from the red blood cells but also partly from the _____ in blood.   protein molecules present  
🗑
The difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure is called   pulse pressure.  
🗑
Inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstrictor impulses is considered a major mechanism of   vasodilation.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
