(T/F) The action potential travels along the interventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it then spreads superiorly along the ventricular walls.
True
(T/F) Serous fluid secreted by both the parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium, and released into the pericardial cavity, lubricates the membranes and facilitates the almost frictionless movement of the heart when it beats.
True
Put the pattern of circulation into the correct order, beginning with the pulmonary circulation. Blood delivers oxygen to the tissues, and then enters systemic veins. Blood enters the left side of the heart. Blood enters the pulmonary veins. Blood enters the systemic arteries. Blood leaves the right side of the heart. Blood enters the pulmonary arteries and travels to the lungs.

Cardiac Cycle
1. Atrial Systole- forces additional blood into ventricles (30%) 2. Ventricular Systole- pressure increases, SHUTS AV valves, OPENS SL valves --> blood is ejected 3. Ventricular Diastole- pressure decreases, OPEN AV valves, CLOSE SL valves --> blood fills ventricles (70%)

The 'form' of blood cholesterol that reflects healthy cholesterol metabolism and is associated with a lowered AS risk is There is no healthy form of cholesterol associated with a reduced risk of AS. high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Desmosomes
junctions that BIND adjacent cells
The wall of the __________ is much thicker than any other chamber in the heart which allows for stronger contractions to pump blood through the systemic circulation.
left ventricle
Right Side
pumps DEOXYGENATED blood to the lungs
Left Side
pumps OXYGENATED blood to the lungs
Right atrium
pumps blood to the right ventricle
In the heart, an action potential originates in the
sinoatrial node (SA)
The sequence of travel by an action potential through the heart is
sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, atrioventricular bundle, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers.
Smooth Muscle
Mostly found in the viscera, and helps move contents through a hollow organ
Left ventricular contraction propels blood through which valve? A. Aortic valve B. Pulmonary valve C. Left atrioventricular (bicuspid) valve D. Right atrioventricular (mitral) valve
A. Aortic valve Contraction of the left ventricle propels blood through the aortic semilunar valve.
Left Atrium
Pumps blood to the left ventricle Passively fills with blood returning from the lungs
Right ventricle
Pumps blood to the pulmonary trunk Dysfunction of this chamber leads to systemic edema
The statement that the risk factors for AS are synergistic means that: A. the likelihood of developing AS rises geometrically with each new risk factor as opposed to being simply additive. B. some risks factors are capable of canceling the negative effects of others. C. the risk of each new factor is added to that of the others, so the risk of developing, and the increasing severity, of AS goes up slowly as each new risk factor is added.
A. the likelihood of developing AS rises geometrically with each new risk factor as opposed to being simply additive.
Risk factors for AS include: diabetes high blood pressure other factors. All of these choices are correct. genetics. smoking. high serum cholesterol, especially LDL.
All of these choices are correct
The inner layer of the serosal pericardium is a thin, transparent layer of simple squamous epithelium called the __________ pericardium.

What are the primary blood vessel types and their functions? Check all that apply. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Arteries always carry oxygenated blood. Veins carry blood back to the heart. Capillaries are the sites of exchange between the blood and the lungs or body cells.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood back to the heart. Capillaries are the sites of exchange between the blood and the lungs or body cells.
Check all of the ways in which the heart chambers are involved in pulmonary circulation. Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium. Oxygenated blood enters the right atrium. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The left ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Pulmonary veins pass blood into the left atrium whereas pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the right ventricle. Pulmonary veins pass blood into the right atrium whereas pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the left ventricle.

(T/F) The general function of the cardiovascular system is to transport blood throughout the body to allow the exchange of respiratory gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood of capillaries and body cells, through the continual pumping action of the heart and vessels.
