Where does the right ventricle send blood? a. the head b. the upper body c. the lungs d. the lower body
The heartbeat includes: a. the systole when the heart relaxes and fills. b. the diastole when the heart contracts and empties. c. pressure that causes the AV valves to open, filling the ventricles. d. rising pressure in the ventricles to open the AV valves and close the SL valves. e. the lub sound when the SL valves open and the dub sound when the AV valves close.
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/heartvalve) to observe an echocardiogram of actual heart valves opening and closing. Although much of the heart has been removed from this gif loop so the chordae tendineae are not visible, why is their presence more critical for the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) than the semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) valves?
How do arteries differ from veins? a. Arteries have thicker wall layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the baa b. Arteries carry blood. c. Arteries have thinner wall layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscla d. Arteries are thin wafted and are used for gas exchange.
13. What is the primary purpose of a pulse oximeter? Oa. To measure blood pressure Ob. To measure oxygen saturation in the blood Oc. To measure heart rate Od. To measure respiratory rate
5. What is the primary purpose of a defibrillator? Oa. To increase blood flow to the heart Ob. To decrease blood pressure Oc. To regulate the heart rhythm Od. To treat anaemia
In the lab, symphatetic stimulation of the heart will decrease heart rate increase heart rate O bring no change to heart rate because of the presence of sinoatrial node
In contrast to the left ventricle, the right ventricle; generates less pressure O pumps blood to the systemic circulation O receives blood from the lungs O is thicker
OBoth atria and ventricles contract at the same time and all valves are open 1 Which of the following best describes the flow of oxygenated blood in the heart? O Pulmonary veins - Left atrium - Right ventricle - pulmonary arteries O Pulmonary veins - Left atrium - Left ventricle - pulmonary arteries O Pulmonary veins - Left atrium - Left ventricle - Aorta O Vena cava - Right atrium - Right ventricle - pulmonary arteries Which of the following is a normal range found in the human body? 1
日 D Just like on a treasure map where "X marks the spot", I'm an anatomical landmark on the human body. You probably first heard of me last semester in the skeletal system. I am important in the auscultation of heart sounds and placement of an EKG. What am I?
Which of the following are false about the inward rectifier? OA The inward rectifier current is carried by potassium OB. The inward rectifier carries inward current at potentials negative to the Nersnst potential for potassium under voltage clamp conditions. OC. The inward rectifier current obeys Ohm's law. OD. The inward rectifier is absent in the sino-atrial node. OE All of the above are true.
Which properties of the electrocardiogram are not true? OA. The P-Wave corresponds to excitation of the Atrium. OB. The QRS complex corresponds the depolarization of the ventricle. OC. The T wave corresponds to the repolarization of the ventricle. OD. The electrocardiogram gives a measure of the timing of events in the heart. O E. All are true
