Q

Through the mitral valve, blood goes into the ________.

A

left ventricle

20
Q

Through aortic semilunar valves, the blood goes into the ______.

A

Aorta

21
Q

The aorta delivers blood to the _______.

A

Systemic circuit.

22
Q

What arteries makes the base of the aorta? [and encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus]

A

The left and right coronary arteries

23
Q

What arteries makes the base of the aorta? [and encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus]

A

The left and right coronary arteries

24
Q

What is the function of anterior interventricular artery?

A

It is to supply blood to the interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles

25
Q

What is the function of anterior interventricular artery?

A

It is to supply blood to the interventricular septum and anterior walls of both ventricles

26
Q

what is the function of circumflex artery?

A

It is to supply blood to the left atrium and the posterior walls of the left ventricle.

27
Q

What is the function of right marginal artery?

A

It is to serve the mycocardium of the lateral side of the heart.

28
Q

What is the function of right marginal artery?

A

It is to serve the mycocardium of the lateral side of the heart.

29
Q

What is the function of posterior interventricular artery?

A

It is supply the posterior ventricular walls and it runs to the heart apex.

30
Q

The conronary arteries recieve blood from the ______.

A

Aorta.

31
Q

The right atrium receives blood from which of the following structures?

A

vena cava and coronary sinus

32
Q

The right atrium receives blood from which of the following structures?

A

vena cava and coronary sinus

33
Q

During systemic circulation, blood leaves the __________.

A

Lungs ad into the left artrium

34
Q

During pulmonary circulation, blood leaves the __________.

A

right ventricle and moves to the lungs

35
Q

The cells of the myocardium behave as a single, coordinated unit called a __________.

A

functional syncytium [Because gap junctions electrically couple cardiac cells, the myocardium behaves as a single coordinated unit, orfunctional syncytium]

36
Q

The ability of some cardiac muscle cells to initiate their own depolarization and cause depolarization of the rest of the heart is called __________.

A

automaticity [Certain noncontractile cardiac muscle cells cells exhibit automaticity and autorhythmicity and can independently initiate action potentials. Such cells have an unstable resting potential called a pacemaker potential that gradually depolarizes, drifting toward threshold for firing. These cells compose the intrinsic conduction system of the heart.]

37
Q

The volume of blood pumped by one ventricle each heartbeat

A

stroke volume

38
Q

The volume of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute

A

cardiac output

39
Q

The absolute refractory period refers to the time during which __________.

A

the muscle cell is not in a position to respond to a stimulus of any strength

40
Q

HR

A

The frequency of heart beats

41
Q

Preload

A

The degree to which cardiac muscle cells are stretched just before they contract

42
Q

ESV

A

Amount of blood in the ventricle at the end of contraction

43
Q

A doctor puts his stethoscope on a patient’s chest over the location of the heart and hears a swishing sound. Which of the following conditions is the best diagnosis for the patient’s condition?

A

incompetent cardiac valve [murmurs indicate valve problems. Aninsufficientorincompetentvalve fails to close completely. There is a swishing sound as blood backflows or regurgitates through the partially open valveafterthe valve has (supposedly) closed. Astenoticvalve fails to open completely and its narrow opening restricts blood flowthroughthe valve. In a stenotic aortic valve, for instance, a high-pitched sound or click can be detected when the valve should be wide open during ventricular contraction, but is not.]
