The anatomy of the intrinsic conduction system causes contraction of the ventricles to begin at the apex and move superiorly. Why is this important? - so the atria can finish contracting before the ventricles contract - so blood is forced upward, toward the semilunar valves - because the AV bundle is the only electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles - because the Purkinje fibers conduct action potentials away from the heart apex

So blood is forced upward, toward the semilunar valves

The heart is actually (one, two, or three) pumps? - three pumps - two pumps - one pump

During exercise, cardiac output may increase by more than 170% to meet the body's increased O2O2 demands. This increase in cardiac output increases blood pressure. But the accompanying increase in arterial pressure is relatively small—only about 40%. What limits this increase in blood pressure so that it doesn't reach dangerously high levels during exercise? - vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle - blood volume decreases due to sweating - blood vessels shorten in the contracting skeletal muscles - hematocrit decreases as more interstitial fluid enters the blood vessels

Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle
