ch 19 practice exam pt 2 Flashcards
electrical signals pass between cardiomyocytes through the
gap junctions
the _____ is the pacemaker that initiates each heart beat
sinuatrial (SA) node
which of the following is NOT part of the cardiac conduction system
tendinous cords
if the sinuatrial (SA) node is damaged the heart will likely beat at _____ bpm
40-50
repolarization of a ventricular cardiomyocyte takes longer than repolarization of a typical neuron
true
any abnormal cardiac rhythm is called
arrhythmia
atrial systole begins
during P wave
atrial depolarication causes the
P wave
in a normal ECG the deflection that is generated by ventricular depolarization is called the
T wave
blood pressure is usually measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) but could be measured with any liquid such as water (mm H2O)
true
papillary muscles prevent the AV valves from prolapsing (bulging) excessively into the atria when the ventricles contract
true
when the left ventricle contracts the ____ valve closes and the ______ valve is pushed open
mitral; aortic
when the ventricles relax the ___ valve prevents backflow of blood into the left ventricle
aortic
mitral valve prolapse (MVP) generated a murmur associated with the _____ heart sound that occurs when the ______
lubb (S1); ventricles contract
when the aortic semilunar valve closes and blood bounces off of it, it produces the ______ heart sound that is ultimately related to when the ______
dupp (S2); ventricles relax
during isovolumetric contraction the pressure in the ventricles ____
rises rapidly
what is the correct sequence events of the cardiac cycle
- ventricular filling
- isovolumetric contraction
- ventricular ejection
isovolumetric relaxation
congestive heart failure (CHF) of the right ventricle
can cause systemic edema
isovolumetric contraction occurs during the ____ of the ECG
R wave
the ventricles are almost empty at the end of ventricular diastole
false
ventricular pressure increases the fastest during ventricular filling
false
most of the ventricle filling occurs
during atrial diastole
assume that the left ventricle of a child’s heart has an EDV=90mL and ESV=60mL and a cardiac output of 2,400 mL/min.
his SV is _____ mL/beat and his HR is _____ bpm
30; 80
the volume of blood ejected by each ventricle in 1 min is called the
cardiac output
stroke volume is increased by
increased venous return
hypercapnia and acidosis have pos chronotropic effects
true
cardioinhibitory centers in the _____ receive input from _____
medulla oblongata; chemoreceptors in the aortic arch
the frank-starling law of the heart states that stroke volume is proportional to
the end-dialostic volume
under normal condiitons the amount of blood pumped through the pulmonary circuit is less than the amount pumped through the systemic circuit
false
endurance atheletes commonly have a resting heart rate as low as 40 bpm and a stroke volume as low as 50 mL/beat
false
match the heart sound with the action or event believed to cause it
- 1st heart sound (S1)
- 2nd heart sound (S2)
- 3rd heart sound (S3)
