Q

Term for Rapid heart rate cover 100 beats per minute.

A

Tachycardia

19
Q

Term for slow heart rate, less than 60 beats per minute

A

Bradycardia

20
Q

Systole = contraction ; Diastole = ____

A

Relaxation

21
Q

Refers to complete heart beat in which both atria and ventricles contract then relax

A

Cardiac Cycle

22
Q

Average heart rate

A

75 beats/min

23
Q

Length of cardiac cycle

A

0.8 secs

24
Q

Longer, louder heart sound caused by the closing of AV valves.

A

Lub

25
Q

Short, sharp beat heart sound caused by the closing of the semilunar valves at the end of ventricular systole.

A

Dup

26
Q

Amount of blood pumped by each side (ventricle) of the heart in 1 min.

A

Cardiac Output (CO)

27
Q

Volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one concentration (each heartbeat)

A

Stroke Volume (SV)

28
Q

True or False. Almost 70ml of blood is pumped out of the left ventricle with each heart beat.

A

True.

29
Q

True or False. CO is the quotient of HR and SV

A

False. Product.

30
Q

Time during which the left and the right ventricle contract and eject blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery, respectively.

A

Systole

31
Q

Time when ventricles are relaxed.

A

Diastole

32
Q

This process is also associated with diastole.

A

Ventricular filling

33
Q

-Heart is relaxed
-Pressure in heart is low
-Atrioventricular valves are open
-Blood flows passively into the atria and
into ventricles
-At this point also, the semilunar valves
are closed
-Lasts for about 0.7

A

I. Atrial Diastole (Ventricular Filling)

34
Q

-Ventricles remain in diastole
-Atria contract
-Ventricles are still in a relaxed mode
-Blood is forced into the ventricle to
complete ventricular filling

A

II. Atrial Systole

35
Q

-Atrial systole ends; ventricular systole
begins
-Intraventricular pressure rises causing
AV valves to close
-For a moment, the ventricles are
completely
closed
chambers

A

III. Isovolumetric Contraction

36
Q

-Ventricles continue to contract
-Intraventricular pressure now
surpasses the pressure in the major
arteries leaving the heart
-This results to: Semilunar valves
opening and ejection of blood from the
ventricles

A

IV. Ventricular Systole (Ejection Phase)

37
Q

-Ventricular diastole begins
-Pressure falls below that in the major
arteries
-Semilunar valves close
-For another moment, the ventricles are completely closed chambers
-When atrial pressure increases above the intraventricular pressure, this is the
time that the AV valves open

A

V. Isovolumetric Relaxation

38
Q

60% of blood in ventricles about how many ml is pumped with each heart beat?

A

70ml

39
Q

This law is the critical factor controlling SV is how much cardiac muscle is stretched. The more the cardiac muscle stretched, the stronger the contraction.

A

Starling’s law of heart

40
Q

The important factor influencing stretch of heart muscles.

A

Venous return

41
Q

Sympathetic nervous system speeds heart rate while parasympathetic nervous system slow and steady heart rate. What type of factor?

A

Neural (ANS) controls

42
Q

Epinephrine and thyroxine speed heart rate. What type of factor?

A

Hormones and Ions

43
Q

Age, gender, exercise, and body temperature. What type of factor?

A

Physical Factors
