Pregunta 5
Pregunta
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
Pregunta 6
Pregunta
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
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
TRUE or FALSE All cardiac muscle cells can spontaneously generate action potentials.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
In myocardial autorhythmic cells (pacemaker cells), when threshold is reached the action potential fires because
Respuesta
-
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
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
In pacemaker cells, decreased permeability to calcium will
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Parasympathetic nervous stimulation onto pacemaker cells results in
Pregunta 11
Pregunta
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
Pregunta 12
Pregunta
1. In a normally functioning heart the pacemaker cells are in the
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
TRUE or FALSE In a normal cardiac cycle, the ventricles contract first, followed by the atria
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
In an ECG reading, the T wave represents
Respuesta
-
Depolarisation of the atria
-
Depolarisation of the ventricles
-
Repolarisation of the ventricles
-
Force of contraction
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
1. The relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle is called
Pregunta 16
Pregunta
During the cardiac cycle the phase when the ventricles are contracting and blood is being ejected into the arteries is called
Pregunta 17
Pregunta
When the atrioventricular valves are open
Respuesta
-
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
Pregunta 18
Pregunta
In order for the semilunar valves to be shut
Respuesta
-
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
Pregunta 19
Pregunta
When pressure in the atrium exceeds pressure in the ventricle, this will cause
Pregunta 20
Pregunta
The volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole is known as
Pregunta 21
Pregunta
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
Pregunta 22
Pregunta
Average stroke volume (SV) of a person at rest is approximately
Respuesta
-
135 mL
-
65 mL
-
70 mL
-
100 mL
Pregunta 23
Pregunta
Cardiac Output is a measure of the volume of blood pumped by one ventricle in a given period of time. It is equal to
Respuesta
-
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
Pregunta 24
Pregunta
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
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
If force of ventricular contraction is increased, what happens to stroke volume
Respuesta
-
Decreases
-
Increases
-
Stays same
-
It lowers heart rate
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
According to the Frank-Starling law, stroke volume (SV) increases as end diastolic volume (EDV) increases due to
Respuesta
-
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
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
What is venous return?
Respuesta
-
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
