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

What is venous return?
Responda
-
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
