Cardiac tamponade can be life-threatening because accumulating fluid in the pericardial cavity restricts heart movement.

Why is it important that cardiac tissue contain many mitochondria and capillaries? (Module 18.3C)

Does an Rh+ mother carrying an Rh- fetus require a RhoGAM injection? Explain your answer. (Module 17.8C)

No, she will not require a RhoGAM injection because the fetus is not at risk for Rh incompatibility. The fetus is not at risk because its RBCs lack Rh surface antigens and the mother's plasma lacks anti-Rh antibodies.

What effect would compressing the inferior vena cava just below the diaphragm have on cardiac function? Stroke volume would increase. Cardiac output would increase. Sympathetic stimulation of the heart would increase. Heart rate would decrease. None of these answers are correct. **be aware of this same question where increase/decrease are swapped--tricky!** correct answer for this question: all of the above What effect would compressing the inferior vena cava just below the diaphragm have on cardiac function: a) stroke volume would decrease b) cardiac output would decrease c) sympathetic stimulation of the heart would eventually increase d) heart rate would eventually increase e) all of the above

The heart is surrounded by the pericardium in the anterior mediastinum, deep to the sternum, and superior to the diaphragm

Why does tetany not occur in cardiac muscle? (Module 18.11A)

Tetany does not occur because cardiac muscle has a long refractory period that continues until relaxation is well under way so summation cannot occur, and thus tetany cannot occur.
