During the T wave of the electrocardiogram, the ventricles are

both repolarizing and relaxing.

The ________ deliver(s) blood to the myocardium.

both right coronary artery and left coronary artery

The wall of the left ventricle is thicker than the right because

both the left ventricle does more work than the right ventricle and the left ventricle produces a higher pressure than the right.

A slower-than-normal heart rate is called ________.

bradycardia

The long plateau phase of the cardiac muscle action potential is due to

calcium channels remaining open

Most of the middle layer in the heart wall is composed of

cardiac myocytes

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

cardiac tamponade

The visceral pericardium is the same as the

epicardium

The structure that permits blood flow from the right atrium to the left atrium in the fetal circulation is the

foramen ovale

The pulmonary veins carry blood to the

heart

The connective tissue fibers of the myocardium

help distribute the forces of contraction, add strength and prevent overexpansion of the heart, provide elasticity to help return the heart to its normal size, provide physical support for cardiac muscle

mediastinum

The muscle layer of the heart is the ________.

myocardium

open

Excess fluid in the ________ causes cardiac tamponade.

pericardial cavity

The heart lies within the ________.

pericardial cavity

Contractions of the papillary muscles

prevent the atrioventricular valves from reversing into the atria.

Oxygen is added to blood as it flows through the ________ circuit.

pulmonary

The ________ circuit carries blood to and from the lungs.

pulmonary
