Frage 5
Frage
TRUE or FALSE The series of events that create an Action Potential in a neuron are exactly the same as those that create and Action Potential in a cardiac muscle cell
Frage 6
Frage
TRUE or FALSE The normally functioning cardiac muscle cell always completely relaxes prior to contracting again due to calcium influx that lengthens the refractory period
Frage 7
Frage
TRUE or FALSE All cardiac muscle cells can spontaneously generate action potentials.
Frage 8
Frage
In myocardial autorhythmic cells (pacemaker cells), when threshold is reached the action potential fires because
Antworten
-
Voltage gated sodium channels open and sodium rushes into the cell
-
Voltage gated calcium channels open and calcium rushes into the cell
-
Voltage gated potassium channels open and potassium rushes out of the cell
-
Increased leaky channels open and there is net sodium influx
Frage 9
Frage
In pacemaker cells, decreased permeability to calcium will
Frage 10
Frage
Parasympathetic nervous stimulation onto pacemaker cells results in
Frage 11
Frage
TRUE or FALSE Once pacemaker cells have fired an action potential, this depolarisation spreads throughout the rest of the cardiac muscle cells via the gap junctions
Frage 12
Frage
1. In a normally functioning heart the pacemaker cells are in the
Frage 13
Frage
TRUE or FALSE In a normal cardiac cycle, the ventricles contract first, followed by the atria
Frage 14
Frage
In an ECG reading, the T wave represents
Antworten
-
Depolarisation of the atria
-
Depolarisation of the ventricles
-
Repolarisation of the ventricles
-
Force of contraction
Frage 15
Frage
1. The relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle is called
Frage 16
Frage
During the cardiac cycle the phase when the ventricles are contracting and blood is being ejected into the arteries is called
Frage 17
Frage
When the atrioventricular valves are open
Antworten
-
Blood is flowing from the ventricles into the atria
-
Blood is flowing from the atria into the ventricles
-
Blood is being ejected from ventricles into arteries
-
Blood is being ejected from atria into veins
Frage 18
Frage
In order for the semilunar valves to be shut
Antworten
-
The pressure in the ventricles must exceed the pressure in the arteries
-
The pressure in the arteries must exceed the pressure in the ventricles
-
The atrioventricular valves must also be shut
-
The atrioventricular valves must also be open
Frage 19
Frage
When pressure in the atrium exceeds pressure in the ventricle, this will cause
Frage 20
Frage
The volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole is known as
Frage 21
Frage
TRUE or FALSE During each cardiac cycle, the ventricle ejects the full volume of blood that it contains so there is no blood left in the ventricle at the end of systole
Frage 22
Frage
Average stroke volume (SV) of a person at rest is approximately
Antworten
-
135 mL
-
65 mL
-
70 mL
-
100 mL
Frage 23
Frage
Cardiac Output is a measure of the volume of blood pumped by one ventricle in a given period of time. It is equal to
Antworten
-
Heart rate X end diastolic volume (EDV)
-
Heart rate X stroke volume (SV)
-
Heart rate X systolic blood pressure
-
Heart rate X total peripheral resistance
Frage 24
Frage
TRUE or FALSE Average resting heart rate is about 70 beats per minute due to tonic input from the sympathetic nervous system that keeps the heart rate lower than that which is set by the pacemaker cells
Frage 25
Frage
If force of ventricular contraction is increased, what happens to stroke volume
Antworten
-
Decreases
-
Increases
-
Stays same
-
It lowers heart rate
Frage 26
Frage
According to the Frank-Starling law, stroke volume (SV) increases as end diastolic volume (EDV) increases due to
Antworten
-
Increased sympathetic stimulation of the heart causing increased contraction of ventricles
-
Increased stretch on myocardial cells due to increased EDV, resulting in increased contraction force
-
Increased EDV causes increased heart rate and hence increased SV
-
Venous return decreases with increased EDV so SV must be increased to compensate
Frage 27
Frage
What is venous return?
Antworten
-
The amount of blood ejected from a ventricle in one cardiac cycle
-
The amount of blood that is pumped into the veins from the atria in one cardiac cycle
-
The amount of blood that enters the heart from the veins each cardiac cycle
-
The amount of blood that enters the systemic circulation each cardiac cycle
Frage 28
Frage
Which factors influence venous return?
Frage 29
Frage
TRUE or FALSE When sympathetic neurons fire onto the heart, both heart rate and force of contraction are increased
