Define cardiac regurgitation. (Module 18.7A)

Cardiac regurgitation is the backflow of blood into the atria when the ventricles contract.

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

Cardiac tissue is metabolically active and dependent on mitochondrial activity to use aerobic respiration to generate ATP and capillaries provide the oxygen and nutrients for this process.

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.

The ________ separate(s) the two atria.

interatrial septum

Compare the base of the heart with the apex. (Module 18.1B)

interventricular septum

kidney disease

left atrium and left ventricle.

Name the four chambers of the heart. (Module 18.1C)

left atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, right ventricle

left coronary artery.

marks the border between the atria and ventricles.

medulla oblongata.

The interventricular sulci and coronary sulcus contain all of the following except

nerves.

Describe the location and position of the heart. (Module 18.1A)

The heart is located near the anterior chest wall, directly behind the sternum.

Describe the heart's location in the body. (Module 18.2B)

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

If the cells of the SA node failed to function, how would the heart rate be affected? (Module 18.12B)

The heart would beat slower because the AV node would be the pacemaker.

Why is the left ventricle more muscular than the right ventricle? (Module 18.6A)

The left ventricle must generate enough force to propel blood through the systemic circuit, whereas the right ventricle must generate only enough force to propel blood the short distance from the heart to the lungs in the pulmonary circuit.

Define mediastinum. (Module 18.2A)

The mediastinum is the region between the two pleural cavities that contains the heart, along with the great vessels, thymus, esophagus, and trachea.

Which of these would cause stroke volume to increase?

both when venous return is increased and when diastolic blood pressure is decreased

The term used to describe fluid collecting in the pericardial cavity that restricts the movement of the heart is known as

cardiac tamponade.

The first heart sound ("lubb") is associated with

closing of the mitral valve.

The function of the atrium is to

collect blood and pump blood to the ventricle.

The first blood vessels to branch from the aorta are the ________ arteries.

coronary

The P wave of the electrocardiogram is a signal from

depolarization of the atria.

As the heart rate slows, ________ get(s) longer.

diastole

The ________ is the volume of blood in a ventricle at the beginning of systole.

end-diastolic volume

The ________ is the amount of blood in a ventricle after it has contracted and before it begins to refill.

end-systolic volume

Averaged over a few heartbeats, venous return is ________ cardiac output.

equal to

The wall(s) of the ________ rest(s) on the diaphragm.

right ventricle

Identify the correct sequence for blood flow through the heart.

right ventricle, through pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary arteries

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

stroke volume.

A faster-than-normal heart rate is called

tachycardia.

The normal pacemaker of the heart is located in

the sinoatrial node.

If the connection between the SA node and AV node becomes blocked,

the ventricles will beat more slowly.

The cavity that contains the lungs, the heart, great vessels, thymus, esophagus, and trachea is called the

thoracic cavity.

Muscular ridges on the inner surface of the ventricles are called

trabeculae carneae.

The amount of blood returning to the heart is the

venous return.

The relaxation phase of the lower chambers of the heart is called

ventricular diastole.

The T wave on an ECG tracing represents

ventricular repolarization.

During which phase of the cardiac cycle is the blood pumped to the body?

ventricular systole

During ventricular systole, the

AV valves are closed.

Define electrocardiogram. (Module 18.13A)

An electrocardiogram is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart.

Compare arteriosclerosis with atherosclerosis. (Module 18.8A)

Arteriosclerosis is any thickening and toughening of arterial walls; atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis characterized by changes in the endothelial lining and the formation of fatty deposits (plaque) in the tunica media.

Define autorhythmicity. (Module 18.12A)

Autorhythmicity is the ability of the heart to contract without neural or hormonal stimulation.

Compare bradycardia with tachycardia. (Module 18.14A)

Bradycardia is a heart rate below 60 beats per minute and tachycardia is a heart rate above 100 beats per minute.

What is coronary ischemia? (Module 18.8B)

Coronary ischemia is a condition in which the blood supply of the coronary arteries is reduced.

Define heart failure. (Module 18.16A)

Heart failure is a condition where the heart can no longer meet the oxygen and nutrient demands of peripheral tissues.

Which ECG event demonstrates the depolarization of the atria?

P wave

What do semilunar valves prevent? (Module 18.7C)

Semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles.

________ is to contraction as ________ is to relaxation.

Systole; diastole

Why is ventricular fibrillation fatal? (Module 18.13C)

Ventricular fibrillation is fatal because the ventricles quiver and do not pump blood to the systemic circulation.

Intercalated discs serve to transfer all of the following from cell to cell except

Z-lines.

What factor would decrease stroke volume?

an increase in afterload

What superficial landmark identifies the boundary between the left and right ventricles?

anterior interventricular sulcus

The contraction phase of the upper chambers of the heart is called

atrial systole.

Which valve(s) close(s) during ventricular contraction?

both AV valves

The heart is innervated by ________ nerves.
