phi Flashcards
When would you expect the ventricles to contract?
QRS
What would you expect to occur before the P wave?
SA node fires
The pacemaker or _____ starts the cardiac cycle
SA node
the SA node
send impulses across the atria
As nerve impulses spread throughout the cardiac conduction system. When they reach the AV node there must be a short delay before it continues. What would be the best explanation for that? ( This is measured by a PQ interval)
It allows for blood to flow from the atria and into the ventricles before they begin to contract
Which of these leads directly away from the heart
Arteries
Which of these are the narrowest?
Capillaries
Which of these are the most numerous?
Capillaries
Which of these have the highest pressure?
Arteries
This is where the exchange of oxygen and nutrients takes place with the cells.
Capillaries
Q is the
Beginning of ventricular contraction
R to T is
Ventricular systole
Why would there be different RR distances?
The person’s heart rate is changing
T to R is when
Blood pressure would be at its lowest (diastolic)
R to T is when
Blood Pressure is Highest
The Lubb Sounds occurs near which point?
S
Which of these time intervals tells you if there is sufficient time delay between the atria contracting and the ventricles contracting?
PQ
Which of these time intervals tells you if there is sufficient time delay between the atria contracting and the ventricles contracting?
P
In our Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Lab, which of the following served as our primary control data for comparison to our other variables?
Sitting
What response would you expect in heart rate following jumping? Why
increase due to Brain anticipates need for oxygen and Increased oxygen requirements and fatigue
Deep breathing would be expected to affect heart rate; Why?
irregular or varied due to Pressure changes in thorax (chest) due to inhalation and exhalation
Immediately upon standing heart rate: Why?
increase due to Change in body position lowers blood flow to brain and Increased work against gravity
The primary concern for the brain is
Blood pressure
systolic pressure is read on a sphygmomanometer when
when pulsing can be heard to begin following opening of the pressure valve
