great cardiac vein drains blood from the heart muscle to
right atrium
autonomic cneters for cardiac function are located in the …
cardiac centers of the medulla oblongata
serous membrane covering the inner surface of the heart is the
endocardium
simple squamous epithelium covering the valves of teh heart constitutes the
endocardium
during diastole a chamber of the heart will
relax and fill with blood
during the cardiac cycle, amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle when the semilunar valve opens is the
stroke volume
true or false: the refractory period of a cardiac muscle is longer than skeletal muscle
true
cardiac output cannot increase indef bc
the available filling time becomes shorter as the heart rate increases
thickest layer of the heart wall is the
myocardium
freshly oxygenated blood is first received by
left atrium
atrial depoliarization coincides with what wave
P wave
what depolarizes next after the AV node>
bundle branches
SA node, AV node, AV bundle, R&L bundle branches, purkinje fibers
electrical impulse pathway thru conducting system of heart
3 factors regulating stroke volume to ensure that the left and right ventricles pump equal vlumes of blood
1) preload, the stretch on the heart before it contracts
2) contractility, the forcefulness of contraction of individual ventricular muscle fibers
3) afterload, the pressure that must be exceeded before blood can be ejected from the ventricles
plasma accounts for 55% of the volume of hole blood and water accounts for __% of plasma volume
92
vascular spasm platelet phase coagulation retraction fibrinolysis
sequence of hemostasis
stem cells responsible for lymphopoiesis located in
thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, red bone marrow,
