Question #1

ECGs:

A are used to diagnose heart murmurs

B measure the mechanical activity of the heart

C show the summed electrical activity generated by all cells of the heart

D provide direct information about heart function

Question #2

The flattening of the action potentials of myocardial contractile cells, called the plateau phase, is due to a combination of _____ K+ permeability and _____ Ca2+ permeability.

A increasing, decreasing

B decreasing, increasing

C decreasing, decreasing

D increasing, increasing

Question #3

In order for blood to enter the heart,

A the atria must be in diastole but the atrial pressure must be lower than the veins

B the ventricles must be completely empty

C the atria must be in diastole

D the AV valves must be open

Question #4

The muscle layer of the heart wall is the _____.

A sarcomeres

B Atrium

C myocardium

D Autorhythmic cells

Question #5

During ventricular systole,

A the pressure in the ventricles declines

B the AV valves are closed

C the atria are contracting

D blood is entering the ventricles

Question #6

Stimulation of the beta receptors on heart muscle results in:

A increased sensitivity to acetylcholine

B increased contractile strength

C decreased force of contraction

D decreased rate of contraction

Question #7

Ventricular contraction begins:

A during the first part of the P wave

B just after the T wave

C just after the Q wave

D during the ST segment

Question #8

The chambers of the heart that pump blood enters into from the veins are the _____.

A AV valves

B SA node

C semilunar valves

D Atrium

Question #9

During the cardiac cycle:

A the greatest increase in ventricular pressure occurs during the filling phase

B the QRS complex of the ECG comes before the increase in ventricular pressure

C the P wave of the ECG occurs between the first and third heart sounds

D the second heart sound is recorded as the QRS complex of the ECG

Question #10

The rule that states “Within physiological limits, the heart pumps all of the blood that returns to it” is known as the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart.”

A FALSE

B TRUE

Question #11

The fibrous skeleton of the heart is important because it:

A forces electrical activity to be conducted through the atrioventricular node

B helps guide the blood into the proper chambers in sequence

C transmits electrical activity from the atria to the ventricles

D directs the flow of blood into the arteries

Question #12

The volume of blood ejected from each ventricle during a contraction is called the:

A end-systolic volume (ESV)

B end-diastolic volume (EDV)

C stroke volume (SV)

D cardiac output (CO)

Question #13

Acetylcholine slows the heart rate by:

A acetylcholine does not act on the heart

B increasing the permeability to K+ and decreasing the permeability to Ca2+

C increasing the permeability to Ca2+

D increasing ion influx, thus increasing the rate of depolarization

Question #14

Autorhythmic cells can generate action potentials spontaneously because they have:

A prolonged calcium influx

B unstable membrane potentials

C a net influx of sodium

D sodium and potassium channels are always open

Question #15

The term used to describe the amount of blood in the ventricle available to be pumped out of the heart during the next contraction is:

A end-systolic volume (ESV)

B end-diastolic volume (EDV)

C heart rate (HR)

D cardiac output (CO)

Question #16

The cardiac output is equal to the:

A difference between the end0diastolic volume and end-systolic volume

B stroke volume minus the end-systolic volume

C product of heart rate and stroke volume

D blood stored within the veins

Question #17

Which electrical event happens at the start of a cardiac cycle?

A the P wave develops

B the SA node fires

C ventricular systole occurs

D blood is ejected from the atrium

Question #18

During the plateau phase of the action potentials of myocardial contractile cells, which ion(s) is/are crossing the membrane?

A only calcium

B both calcium and potassium

C only potassium

D only sodium

Question #19

Autorhythmic cells:

A contribute to the force of contraction

B have organized sarcomeres

C are the same size as myocardial contractile cells

D are also called pacemakers because they set the rate of the heartbeat

Question #20

If (funny) channels are permeable to:

A potassium only

B sodium and potassium

C sodium only

D calcium only

Question #21

The P wave of an ECG corresponds to:

A depolarization of the atria

B repolarization of the atria

C the progressive wave of ventricular depolarization

D repolarization of the ventricles

Question #22

Stretching a myocardial cell:

A only allows more calcium to enter

B only decreases the force of a contraction

C allows more calcium to enter and increase the force of contraction

D only increases the force of contraction

Question #23

According to the Frank-Starling law of the heart, the cardiac output is directly related to the:

A venous return

B end-diastolic volume

C heart rate

D myocardium thickness

Question #24

Which event results in the first heart sound?

A the AV valves open

B the AV valves close

C the semilunar valves open

D the semilunar valves close

Question #25

During ventricular ejection,

A the ventricles are in systole

B the semilunar valves are closed

C the QRS is just starting
