Why is it necessary to stimulate papillary muscles in the ventricle slightly earlier than the rest of the ventricular wall myocardium?
a. to assure rapid conduction speed of the action potential
b. to pull on AV valve cusps to prevent backflow
c. to assure blood will surge toward the semilunar valves
d. to assure coordinated contraction of the ventricular myocardium
Complete ventricular filling occurs during what phase of the cardiac cycle?
a. when the atria are in diastole
b. when the ventricles are in diastole
c. when the ventricles are in systole
Which of these is an incorrect statement concerning the heartbeat?a. The atria contract at the same time.b. The ventricles relax at the same time.c. The atrioventricular valves open at the same time.d. The semilunar valves open at the same time.
