24
Q

The first heart sound

A

lub

25
Q

The second heart sound

A

Dup

26
Q

Extraneous heart sounds due to turbulent backflow of blood through a valve that does not close tightly

A

Heart murmurs

27
Q

Contractile phase of the cardiac cycle

A

Systole

28
Q

Relaxation stage of the cardiac cycle

A

Diastole

29
Q

The amount of blood pumped out a ventricle per beat

A

Cardiac output

30
Q

The frank-starling law of the heart states that the critical factor controlling stoke volume is the degree of stretch of cardiac mucle cells immediately before they contract

A

Preload

31
Q

Contractile strength increases if there is an increase in cytoplasmic calcium ion concentration

A

Contractility

Q

Ventriclar pressure that must be ovecome before blood can be ejected from the heart

A

Afterload

33
Q

When one side of the heart fails

A

Pulmonary congestion
