Question
Answer
What are the four major structures that compose the conduction system of the heart?   show
🗑
show SA node- initiates each heartbeat and sets its pace  
🗑
show SA node and AV node  
🗑
What generates contraction in ventricles?   show
🗑
What is a graphic record of the hearts electrical activity (its conduction of impulses)?   show
🗑
What is a normal EKG comprised of?   show
🗑
What is another word for contraction?   show
🗑
show diastole  
🗑
What is a complete heartbeat consisting of systole and diastole of both atria and both ventricles?   show
🗑
What consists of a later, longer period of slow ventricular filling at the end of ventricular diastole lasting approximately 0.2 second; characterized by a gradual increase in ventricular pressure and volume?   show
🗑
What is the first sound, believed to be caused primarily by the contraction of the ventricles and by vibrations of the closing AV valves?   show
🗑
What consists of short, sharp sound; thought to be caused by vibrations of the closing of SL valves?   show
🗑
P1-P2 is the symbol used to stand for what?   show
🗑
show P1 (P2 represents the lower pressure)  
🗑
show Perfusion pressure  
🗑
Volume of blood pumped out of the heart per unit of time is called what?   show
🗑
show stroke volume and heart rate  
🗑
show volume pumped per heartbeat  
🗑
show Within limits, the longer, or more stretched, the heart fibers at the beginning of contraction, the stronger the contraction  
🗑
show cardiac pressoreflexes  
🗑
What are the two types cardiac pressoreflexes?   show
🗑
show Peripheral resistance  
🗑
What are two factors that influence peripheral resistance?   show
🗑
What are muscles in the walls of arteriole that may constrict or dilate, thus changing diameter or arteriole?   show
🗑
show Regulating blood pressure  
🗑
What is the the thickness of blood as a fluid called?   show
🗑
What, in high concentration, can slightly increase blood viscosity?   show
🗑
What can increase blood viscosity?   show
🗑
show Vasomotor chemoreflexes  
🗑
show venous return  
🗑
What structure in veins prevents backflow of blood?   show
🗑
show mechanisms that change total blood volume most quickly are those that cause water to quickly move into or out of the plasma  
🗑
show ADH  
🗑
show Renin  
🗑
What is an intermediate compound that causes vasoconstriction, which complements the volume-increasing effects of renin and promotes an increase in overall blood flow?   show
🗑
What is the combination of Renin and Angiotensin II called when it changes total blood volume?   show
🗑
What adjusts venous return from an abnormally high level by promoting the loss of water from plasma, causing a decrease in blood volume; increases urine sodium loss, which causes water to follow osmotically?   show
🗑
What is systolic blood pressure?   show
🗑
show Lowest pressure (force) of the blood pushing against the Aorta (when ventricles are relaxed)  
🗑
show difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure  
🗑
show alternate expansion and recoil of an artery  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
