Q

When does blood enter arteries? What is the exception to the rule? explain.

A

blood enter arteries during systole, except the coronary arteries, which get blood during diastole. This is because the (right and left) coronary arteries are branches of the aorta, and during systole, blood rushes through it at a very high pressure and speed, so it doesn’t have time to turn perpendicularly and go to the branches of the aorta. When the aortic valve closes, the pressure decreases, allowing blood to go to the coronary arteries.

111
Q

Which sympathetic chain branch supplies the superficial cardiac plexus?

A

left superior cervical ganglion

112
Q

How do sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves control cardiac output?

113
Q

What is the only cause of heart pain?

A

ischemic injury

114
Q

What are the four ways the sympathetic fibers stimulate the action of the heart?

↑ contraction force

↑ blood flow

115
Q

What’s the only cause of pain of abdominal organs?

excessive destination

T1 and T2

119
Q

Which bundle branch receives blood from the left coronary artery?

A

both bundle branches

(right bundle branch blood from both right & left coronary arteries, while the left only from the left coronary artery)

120
Q

Damage to which node is called heart block?

A

AV node (if defective, conductance will not reach the ventricles)

121
Q

Patient has left coronary dominance, what supplies blood to the interventricular septum of the patient?

A

left coronary artery

(duh! it’s an important concept tho)

122
Q

Describe the production of the first heart sound.

A

papillary muscle contracts tightens the chordae tendinae and drawing the cusps of AV valve together in order to close the mitral and tricuspid valves (lub)

123
Q

What causes the semilunar valves to open?

A

when ventricular pressure exceeds diastole pressure in pulmonary trunk and ascending aorta

124
Q

What produces the second heart sound?

A

In ventricular diastole, when the pressure is low in the ventricle and high in aorta and pulmonary trunk. The blood wants to backflow, but instead the close the semilunar valves are shut. This shutting is what causes the dub

125
Q

Which of the following is thickest in veins?

a. tunica intima
b. tunica media
c. tunica externa

A

c. tunica externa

126
Q

Which of the following is thickest in large arteries?

A

b. tunica media

127
Q

T/F: the tunica media of the aorta is mostly made up of elastic fibers

A

true

128
Q

What kind of cells make up the tunica intima?

A

simple squamous

129
Q

T/F: the tunica intermedia of capillaries is very thin

A

false, capillaries have only an endothelium, with no subendothelial layer or other tunics.

(Because capillaries are only one cell layer thick, they only have a tunica intima.)

130
Q

Which of the following has a tunica media that has more smooth muscles?

a. aorta
b. vena cava

A

b. vena cava
