These vessels empty blood into the left atrium
Pulmonary veins
The AV valve that is located on the same side of the heart as the origin of the aorta is the
Bicuspid valve
The p wave of the ECG indicates
Atrial depolarization
Contractions of the ventricles is referred to as ventricular
Systole
When the left atrial pressure exceeds the leafy ventricular pressure
The bicuspid valve opens
Pressure in the right ventricle must exceed pressure in the____before the right ventricle can eject food
Pulmonary trunk
Which of the following is true?
Most ventricular filling occurs before the atria contract
Which of the following statements about regarding intrinsic regulation of the heart is true?
If cardiac muscle fibers are slightly stretched, they have a stronger contraction force
If the heart receives more sympathetic stimulation then parasympathetic stimulation the heart will
Increase the rate and force of contraction
Which of the following will increase the heart rate?
An increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Lowered extra cellular potassium levels will lower the heart rate because
The resting membrane potential is hyper polarized
Systematic blood vessels transport blood
From the left ventricle to the right atrium
