After listening to Janetta's heart for several seconds, her doctor told Janetta that she has an incompetent right atrioventricular (AV) valve. What did Janetta's doctor hear that led to that conclusion?

a swishing sound

Part complete Which of the following will reduce blood pressure?

decreasing peripheral resistance

Part complete By what pathway does oxygen leave capillaries to supply body tissues?

diffusion through capillary cell membranes

Which of these allows nutrient-rich blood from the placenta to bypass the fetal liver and enter the inferior vena cava?

ductus venosus

What is a common cause of valvular stenosis?

endocarditis

An increased firing of the parasympathetic nervous system causes increased cardiac output. True False

false

Cardiac output is the product of the stroke volume and the systolic blood pressure. True False

false

During ventricular diastole, the bicuspid and tricuspid (mitral)valves are closed. True False

false

Hypotension is diastolic blood pressure below 100 mm Hg. True False

false

The QRS wave on an electrocardiogram is representative of ventricular repolarization. True False

false

The semilunar valves prevent the backflow of blood into the atria when the ventricles are contracting. True False

false

Which of the following is a risk factor for developing essential hypertension?

genetics, obesity, and race

lungs

What is the function of the heart valves?

prevents backflow of blood

Which of these describes a fenestrated capillary?

special capillary type with small pores found in tissue where absorption is important

Which of these will decrease heart rate?

stimulation by vagus nerves

What term refers to the contraction of the heart?

systole

Jordan is told that while his atria are beating normally, his ventricles are beating slower than normal. His doctor suspects a heart block. Damage to what part of Jordan's heart is causing this problem?

the AV node

A pulmonary embolism can be a direct result from which of the following conditions?

thrombophlebitis

Through which valve will blood flow when leaving the right atrium?

tricuspid valve

Blood cells and proteins typically cannot pass across the walls of capillaries and are thus prevented from leaving or entering the capillaries. True False

true

Blood pressure is highest in the arteries and declines to zero or negative pressure in the vena cavae. True False

true

The average heart beats approximately 75 times each minute at rest. True False

true

The three branches of the aortic arch are the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. True False

true

Which of these layers is found in capillary walls?
