“lub dub” sounds due to

A

closing of heart valves

25

lub sound

A

closing of AV valves

26
Q

dub sound

A

closing of semi lunar valves

27
Q

heart murmur is due to

A

an incompetent valve

28
Q

barrier between atria and ventricles

A

fibrous skeleton

29
Q

the only pathway from atria to ventricles

A

AV node

30
Q

Cardiac conduction system

A

SA node (R atrium) stimulates atria and AV node via internodal path way > AV node > AV bundle > R and L bundle branches > purkinje fibers

31
Q

cardiac cells have

A

autorhythmicity

32
Q

atria contract

A

top to bottom (simultaneously)

33
Q

ventricles contract

A

bottom to top (simultaneously)

34
Q

blood supply to heart

A

right coronary artery , left coronary artery, cardiac veins, and drains blood to coronary sinus

35
Q

drained blood from coronary sinus empties into where?

A

Right atrium

36
Q

arteriosclerosis

A

hardening of arteries, plaque build up
