Question 2
Question
Excitable tissue is defined by its ability to
Answer
Respond to changes in the environment.
Generate electricity.
Create an action potential
All of these are true.
Question 3
Question
Which series of events in the cardiac cycle occurs first?
Answer
Electrical
Mechanical
Question 4
Question
What is the benefit of a 12-lead ECG? In other words, why isn’t one lead sufficient?
Answer
Multiple leads provide a 3 dimensional image of the electrical activity of the heart.
Each additional lead duplicates and verifies the others.
There is no benefit.

Semilunar (SL) valves
Question 15
Question
The semilunar valves close when ventricular pressure:
Answer
rises
falls
