The Heart-12

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
Blunt, rounded point; most inferior part of the heart   show
🗑
Larger, flat portion of the heart opposite the point.   show
🗑
show Fibrous pericardium  
🗑
show Serous pericardium  
🗑
Serous pericardium that lines the fibrous pericardium.   show
🗑
show Visceral pericardium  
🗑
Space between the visceral and parietal pericardia.   show
🗑
show Pericardial fluid  
🗑
Groove that runs around the heart, separating the atria from the ventricles.   show
🗑
Carry blood from the body to the right atrium.   show
🗑
Carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium   show
🗑
show Pulmonary trunk and arteries  
🗑
show Aorta  
🗑
show Coronary arteries  
🗑
. Large vein that drains the cardiac veins of the heart and empties into the right atrium   show
🗑
show Left coronary artery  
🗑
show Right coronary artery  
🗑
Drain blood from cardiac muscle; empty into coronary sinus.   show
🗑
Wall that separates the right and left atria   show
🗑
show Interventricular septum  
🗑
show Tricuspid valve  
🗑
show Bicuspid (mitral) valve  
🗑
Cone-shaped muscular pillars in each ventricle.   show
🗑
Connective tissue strings connecting papillary muscles with the cusps of atrioventricular valves.   show
🗑
Valves with three cusps found in the aorta and pulmonary trunk.   show
🗑
show Skeleton of the heart  
🗑
Blood flows into the right atrium from the (1) , which returns blood from all the tissues of the body   show
🗑
Blood then flows into the (2) , which completes filling as the right atrium contracts   show
🗑
show Tricuspid valve, Pulmonary semilunar valve, Pulmonary trunk  
🗑
The (6) carry blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is released, and oxygen is picked up. Blood returning from the lungs enters the (7) through the four (8)   show
🗑
show Bicuspid (mitral) valve  
🗑
show Aortic semilunar valve  
🗑
Thin serous membrane forming the smooth outer surface of the heart; also called visceral pericardium.   show
🗑
Thick middle layer of the heart composed of cardiac muscle.   show
🗑
show Endocardium  
🗑
show ATP  
🗑
Cardiac muscle cells have many (2) , where ATP is produced at a rapid enough rate to sustain muscle contraction.   show
🗑
show Oxygen  
🗑
show Intercalated disk  
🗑
In cardiac muscle, a period of slow repolarization called the (1) phase greatly prolongs the action potential.   show
🗑
The depolarization phase of the action potential occurs when voltage-gated (2) open, allowing sodium ions to diffuse into the cell.   show
🗑
When the membrane potential reaches its maximum depolarization, voltage-gated sodium ion channels (3) .   show
🗑
show Calcium ion channels  
🗑
At the end of the plateau phase, voltage-gated (5) open and potassium ions move out of the cell, causing (6) .   show
🗑
Cardiac muscle cells in the SA node have a larger number of voltagegated (7) than other areas of the heart. When their channels open spontaneously, calcium ions diffuse into cardiac muscle causing depolarization   show
🗑
show Threshold  
🗑
show Refractory period  
🗑
show SA node  
🗑
show AV node  
🗑
show AV bundle  
🗑
show Bundle branches  
🗑
show Purkinje fibers  
🗑
show P wave  
🗑
Record of action potentials from depolarization of the ventricles.   show
🗑
Record of repolarization of the ventricles.   show
🗑
show P-Q (P-R) interval  
🗑
show Q-T interval  
🗑
show Atrial systole  
🗑
show Ventricular systole  
🗑
Decreases ventricular pressure; aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves close and bicuspid and tricuspid valves open.   show
🗑
Occurs at the beginning of ventricular systole; results from the closure of tricuspid and bicuspid valves.   show
🗑
Results from the closure of semilunar valves.   show
🗑
show Murmur  
🗑
show Stenosed valve  
🗑
Volume of blood pumped by either ventricle of the heart each minute (stroke volume X heart rate).   show
🗑
Volume of blood pumped per ventricle each time the heart contracts   show
🗑
Number of times the heart contracts each minute   show
🗑
show Venous return  
🗑
The degree to which ventricular walls are stretched at the end of diastole is called (2) .   show
🗑
If venous return is (3) , the heart fills to a greater volume, which stretches the cardiac muscle fibers, producing increased preload.   show
🗑
show Increased,Increased,Increased  
🗑
Stretch also causes a slightly (7) heart rate. Therefore, if venous return is decreased, cardiac output is (8) , whereas, if venous return is increased, cardiac output is (9) .   show
🗑
show Starling's law of the heart,Afterload  
🗑
People suffering from hypertension have a(n) (12) afterload.   show
🗑
Sensory receptors sensitive to the stretch of the walls of the aorta and internal carotid arteries.   show
🗑
Sensory receptors sensitive to changes in pH and carbon dioxide levels.   show
🗑
show Cardioregulatory center  
🗑
Increased blood pressure causes stretching of baroreceptors, which increases parasympathetic stimulation and _____ heart rate.   show
🗑
show Increases  
🗑
Epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal medulla _____ heart rate and stroke volume   show
🗑
show Increase  
🗑
Excess potassium ions _____ heart rate   show
🗑
show Decreases  
🗑
List four functions of the heart.   show
🗑
Name the four valves that regulate blood flow in the heart, and give their location.   show
🗑
show P wave: caused by depolarization of the atria, atrial systole; QRS complex: caused by depolarization of the ventricles, ventricular systole; T wave: caused by repolarization of the ventricles, ventricular diastole.  
🗑

🗑
show Parasympathetic stimulation: decreased heart rate; sympathetic stimulation: increased heart rate and stroke volume.  
🗑
c   show
🗑
