what is the difference between the auricles and the atria?

atria are the upper chambers of the heart, whereas auricles are small appendages that make rough interior parts of the atria. the function of the atrium is to receive the blood into the heart and pass it into the ventricles in order to complete circulation cycles. the function of auricles is to increase the blood-holding capacity of atria.

pectinate muscles are found in the ______ A) atria only B) atria and ventricles C) ventricles only D) right atrium and right ventricle only

atria only

if the mitral valve is unable to close properly, ______ A) blood could flow back into the left atrium B) blood could flow back into the left ventricle C) blood could flow back into the right atrium D) blood could flow back into the right ventricle

blood could flow back into the left atrium

select the correct statement about the heart valves A) The mitral (bicuspid) valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. B) The tricuspid valve divides the left atrium from the left ventricle. C) Aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves control the flow of blood into the heart. D) The atrioventricular (AV) valves prevent backflow of blood added into the atria during ventricular contraction.

the AV valves prevent backflow of blood added into the atria during ventricular contraction

select the correct statement about the function of myocardial cells A) The entire heart contracts as a unit or it does not contract at all. B) Cardiac muscle cells are innervated by sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic nerve fibers so that the nervous system can increase heart rate. C) The refractory period in skeletal muscle is much longer than that in cardiac muscle. D) The influx of potassium ions from extracellular sources is the initiating event in cardiac muscle contraction.

the entire heart contracts as a unit or it does not contract at all

if the vagal nerves to the heart were cut, the result would be that _____ A) the heart would stop, since the vagal nerves trigger the heart to contract B) the heart rate would increase by about 25 beats per minute C) the atrioventricular (AV) node would become the pacemaker of the heart D) parasympathetic stimulation would increase, causing a decrease in heart rate

the heart rate would increase by about 25 bpm

select the correct statement about the structure of the heart wall A) The fibrous cardiac skeleton forms the bulk of the heart. B) Connective tissue in the heart wall aids in the conduction of the action potential. C) The heart chambers are lined by the endomysium. D) The myocardium is the layer of the heart that actually contracts.

the myocardium is the layer of the heart that actually contracts

list the three vessels that bring oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium. which regions of the body do they serve?

the superior vena cava returns oxygen-poor blood from body regions superior to the diaphragm. the inferior vena cava returns oxygen-poor blood from body areas inferior to the diaphragm. the coronary sinus collects blood draining from the myocardium
