Q

Which of the following is present in mature red blood cell?

A

Plasma membrane (RBCs cannot contain mitochondria or ribosomes because they are anaerobic, and they lose their nucleus during development)

29
Of the following, what is the best definition of arteries?
Carry blood away from the heart
30
Atrial repolarization occurs during this period of time, seen on an ECG.
QRS complex
31
An increase in heart rate by the sympathetic nervous system is a
Positive chonotropic effect
32
These structures prevent prolapse of the atrioventricular valves
Chordae tendineae
33
The bundle of His is located here
Interventricular septum
34
This valve is found between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Tricuspid
35
The entire ventricular myocardium remains depolarized during this time on an ECG.
S-T segment
36
The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate by
Opening potassium gates (sodium=cardiac depolarization)
37
Blood being pumped out of the left ventricle enters the
Aorta
38
Which of the following is NOT a branch off the arch of the aorta?
Right common carotid artery
39
This part of the nervous system is responsible for vasomotor tone.

40
These vessels carry blood toward the heart
Venules
41
If you have a blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg, what is your diastolic pressure?
80mmHg
42
These are the smallest blood vessels in our body
Capillaries
43
All of the following are found in large arteries EXCEPT
Valves
44
These vessels control blood flow to tissues
Arterioles

Thermoreceptors
49

50
The exchange between blood vessels and cells occurs here
Capillaries (Does this by diffusion)
51
The lub-dub heart sounds heard during auscultation of the heart are associated with
The heart valves closing
52
The amount of blood pumped out of each ventricle in 1 minute is called
Cardiac output
53
The most important factor for stretching cardiac muscle is
End diastolic volume
54
The greatest decrease in ventricular pressure occurs at this time
Isovolumetric relaxation
55
Nerve impulses are directly supplied to the papillary muscles by the
Purkinje fibers
56
