Exam 1 Flashcards
T or F Calcium must enter the cell through L-type Ca++ C in order for ryanodine receptors to open in cardiomyocytes
True
T or F Contraction of the papillary muscles opens the AV valves
False
T or F In response to a single AP in a cardiomyocyte, enough Ca+ enters the cytoplasm to completely saturate troponin
False
T or F Mean arterial pressure = DP + 1/3 PP is a deterministic Eq In physiology
False
T or F Normally, at rest, it takes about one minute to circulate the entire blood volume through the cardiovascular system
True
T or F The B2 adrenergic receptor can be present in the sympathetic synapses on vascular smooth muscle
False
T or F The function of the heart requires that cardiomyocytes do NOT develop tetanus
True
T or F The time between the QRS complex on an ECG and the first heart sound should be very consistent
True
A wave of depolarization moving towards the positive electrode would cause a(n) (Upward/Downward) deflection on an ECG
upward
A wave of repolarization moving towards the negative electrode would cause a(n) (Upward/Downward) deflection on an ECG
upward
Increased Venous return would ? CO
Increase CO
Most of the blood enters the ventricle during the (first/second) half of ventricular filling
first half
The higher the resistance in the arterioles, the (higher/lower) the pressure in the arteries
higher the pressure
The inactivation gate of the fast voltage-gated Na+ channel opens in response to (repol/depol)
repolerization
The left ventricle is (more/less) complaint than the right ventricle
less
The less compliant an artery is the (higher/lower) the pulse pressure
higher PP
The systolic pressure in the arteries occurs during …
systole
Assuming no change in venous return, an increase in contractility would, after a few beats, result in a (decrease/increase/no change) in end-diastolic ventricular volume
A decrease in EDV
