Exam 1 Flashcards
Where are the primary pace makers cells are located?
SA node
What structure allow action potential to be conducted from one myocyte to another?
B. Intercalated disc
How many times is ventricular contraction triggered by one electrical impulse generated in SA node normally?
Once
Excitation can be defined as
The generation of action potentials
Oxygenated blood leaves the heart via the —— Valve
Aortic
What about bradycardia
Slow heart rate (<60 bpm)
Which one of the following statements about the first heart sound is false?
The first heart sound is longer than the second heart sound
Define contractility
The ability to contract especially by muscle fibers and even some other forms of living matter
No blood can enter the ventricles until the atria contract
False
Specialized fibers called-receiver is the signal from the bundle of his and cause ventricular contraction
Purkinje fibers
Which part of the blood vessel system primarily as a blood reservoir
Veins
Which blood vessel are called “resistance vessels”? What about “exchange vessels?
Arteries are the resistance vessels and the capillaries are the exchange vessels
Review the flow of blood to and away from the heart.
The pulmonary veins deliver O2 blood from the lungs to the heart
Review the three layers of the heart, as well as the pericardium. What is the function of the pericardium?
The three layers of the heart are endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium. Pericardium has a function of protecting the heart.
Explain why the wall of the left ventricle is thicker than the wall of the right ventricles.
The left ventricle is thicker bc it needs to pump blood for all the body parts and has to work a lot more.
Which of the following is not a feature of the SA node?
SA node has stable resting potential
The average resting cardiac cycle takes about 0.8 sec, including—-
0.3 sec for ventricular systole and 0.5 sec for ventricular diastole.
QRS complex correspond to——
Depolarization of ventricles
The amount of blood ejected by one ventricle in one heartbeat is called—
The stroke volume
If the heart rate is 70 beat/min and the stroke volume is 80ml, how much is the cardiac output?
70bpm X 80 ml= 5600ml
Cardiac myocytes get nutrient directly from—-
The blood in the coronary circulation
Which vessel type allows the exchange of nutrients/waste products between the blood and tissue cells?
Capillaries
Which vessel type primarily serve as a blood reservoir?
Veins
Which one of the following shows the general route of the blood from and back to the heart?
Heart >arteries>arterioles> capillaries> venules> veins> heart
Smooth muscle is present in— of blood vessels.
Tunica media
Which of the following statements is not true?
Blood pressure is the inside blood vessels
A women’s blood pressure is 120/75 mmHg. What would her mean arterial pressure be? Her pulse pressure?
MAP= DSP=1/3 PP
PP=SBP-DSP
=(120)-(75)
=45mm Hg
The mechanism of capillary exchange include—
Diffusion, transcytosis, Filtration snd reabsorption
Filtration is the process of—
net fluid movement from plasma to tissue fluid
