Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
A blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart is called a/an
Respuesta
  • Artery
  • Vein
  • Capillary
  • Ventricle

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
The heart chamber that pumps oxygen depleted blood to the lungs is the
Respuesta
  • Right atrium
  • Right ventricle
  • Left atrium
  • Left ventricle

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
The systemic circulation
Respuesta
  • Begins with oxygen rich blood entering the aorta
  • Supplies blood to all tissues of the body
  • Ends with oxygen depleted blood entering the right atrium
  • All of the above

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
Cardiac muscle cells are electrically connected via
Respuesta
  • Desmosomes
  • Gap junctions
  • Striations
  • Motor units

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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
TRUE or FALSE All cardiac muscle cells can spontaneously generate action potentials.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

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
Respuesta
  • Increase heart rate
  • Decrease heart rate
  • Have no effect on heart rate
  • Increase force of muscle contraction

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Parasympathetic nervous stimulation onto pacemaker cells results in
Respuesta
  • Increased heart rate
  • Decreased heart rate
  • No change in heart rate
  • Increased force of muscle contraction

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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
1. In a normally functioning heart the pacemaker cells are in the
Respuesta
  • Sinoatrial (SA) node
  • Atrioventricular (AV) node
  • Autonomic nerves
  • Purkinje fibres

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
TRUE or FALSE In a normal cardiac cycle, the ventricles contract first, followed by the atria
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

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
Respuesta
  • Diastole
  • Systole
  • Depolarisation
  • Isovolumic ventricular contraction

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
During the cardiac cycle the phase when the ventricles are contracting and blood is being ejected into the arteries is called
Respuesta
  • Diastole
  • Systole
  • Depolarisation
  • Isovolumic ventricular contraction

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
Respuesta
  • The AV valve to close
  • The AV valve to open
  • The semilunar valve to open
  • The semilunar valve to close

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
The volume of blood in the ventricle at the end of diastole is known as
Respuesta
  • The end diastolic volume (EDV)
  • The end systolic volume (ESV)
  • The stroke volume (SV)
  • The isovolumic volume

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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

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
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

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
  • The amount of blood that enters the systemic circulation each cardiac cycle

Pregunta 28

Pregunta
Which factors influence venous return?
Respuesta
  • The skeletal muscle pump
  • The respiratory pump
  • Sympathetic innervation of veins
  • All of the above

Pregunta 29

Pregunta
TRUE or FALSE When sympathetic neurons fire onto the heart, both heart rate and force of contraction are increased
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
