AB negative

Identify the component of the ECG that corresponds to depolarization of the ventricles.

QRS complex

Identify the correct sequence of blood flow through the chambers of the heart.

circumflex artery

The right ventricle pumps blood into which structure?

pulmonary trunk

Which component of the conduction system sets the pace for the heart as a whole?

sinoatrial (SA) node

What digestive function do bacteria perform within the large intestine?

energy recovery from otherwise undigestible foods

Which is the correct sequence of layers in the heart wall, starting with the outer layer?

Epicardium, myocardium, endocardium

Endocardium

Glistening white sheet of endothelium lining the inside of the heart

Epicardium.

It facilitates heart contraction.

Fibrous pericardium

Loosely fitting superficial part of the sac enclosing the heart

Myocardium.

Middle layer of the heart, composed mainly of cardiac muscle

Select a structural characteristic of a red blood cell that contributes to its gas transport function.

The biconcave shape provides a greater surface area relative to the cell volume.

Which of the following statements is true? The left ventricular cavity is flattened into a crescent shape. The left ventricular cavity is nearly circular. The right ventricular cavity is nearly circular. The right ventricular cavity pumps blood at a higher pressure than the left ventrical The left ventricle wall is thicker than the right ventricle wall.

The left ventricle wall is thicker than the right ventricle wall.

What is the hematocrit?

The percentage of the whole blood made up of red blood cells

What happens when the ventricular pressure exceeds the aortic pressure?

The semilunar valves open.

atria

Which laboratory test can indicate anemia due to decreased erythrocyte production?

complete blood count

Choose the statement that correctly describes a feature of the esophageal wall. a- Esophageal glands of the submucosa secrete enzymes that convert the bolus into a liquid chyme. b- The mucosa contains an abrasion-resistant epithelium consisting of a single layer of column-shaped cells. c- An adventitia anchors the esophagus posteriorly while the serosa blends with structures anteriorly. d- The muscularis externa transitions from skeletal muscle superiorly to smooth muscle near the stomach.

d
