Question 15

Name the two semilunar valves and their functions.

Answer 15

Aortic and Pulmonary

Passively Open and Close to allow blood to enter ventricles once atria are filled

Question 16

………fill after ventricular contraction closing valves and simultaneously filling coronary arteries

Answer 16

Aortic sinuses (of Valsalva)

Mitral- 5th left intercostal space in midclavicular line

Tricuspid- Left sternal border at 5th intercostal space

Question 18

………. Artery runs in the atrioventricular sulcus (coronary sulcus) and gives off …… branch

Right Coronary Artery. Atrioventricular (AV) nodal branch

Question 19

……. Artery supplies most of the right ventricle

Answer 19

Right Marginal Artery

Question 20

…….. Artery supplies posterior 1/3 of IV septum

Answer 20

Posterior Interventricular Artery

Question 21

…….. Artery gives off the ……… branches that supplies 2/3 of anterior interventricular septum

Answer 21

Anterior Interventricular Artery (LAD)

Septal Branches

Question 22

Coronary artery disease leads to ……

Answer 22

hypoxia and possibly ischemia and infarction of the myocardial tissue supplied by the obstructed artery

Question 23

The most frequently occluded arteries of the heart are:

Answer 23

Left Coronary and Anterior Interventricular Arteries

- Can lead to sudden death if immediate intervention does not occur.

Question 24

Which artery most commonly gives rise to the Posterior Interventricular Groove (PIV)?

Answer 24

Right Coronary Artery. Although the left could give rise to the PIV also

Question 25

Why is the great saphenous vein most often used for a vein graft?

Answer 25

•easily acessible, similar diameter and minimal branching or valves)

Question 26

What is the artery most commonly used in an arterial graft?

Answer 26

Radial Artery or Internal Thoracic

Question 27

The Great, Middle and Small Cardiac Veins all drain to:

Answer 27

Coronary Sinus

Question 28

What is the route of the following veins?
Great Cardiac Vein
Middle Cardiac Vein
Small Cardiac Vein

Answer 28

Great Cardiac Vein- Follows anterior interventricular artery

Middle Cardiac Vein- Follows posterior interventricular artery

Small Cardiac Vein- Follows right marginal artery

Question 29

What is the route of the following veins?
Anterior Cardiac Veins
Smallest Cardiac Veins

Answer 29

Anterior Cardiac Veins- Located on anterior aspect of right ventricle

Smallest Cardiac Veins- Begin within the wall of the heart

Question 30

Decreased heart rate, conduction velocity and force of contraction are indicative of which autonomic system?

Answer 30

Parasympathetic Nervous System

Question 31

Increased heart rate, conduction velocity, and force of contraction are indicative of which autonomic system?

Answer 31

Sympathetic Nervous System
