Explain why the walls of the atria are thinner than those of the ventricles, and why the wall of the right ventricle is relatively thin when compared to the wall of the left ventricle.
Describe the pressure-volume curve of the left ventricle
In dilated cardiomyopathy of the left ventricle, the ventricle can become enormously enlarged. Explain why this might lead to regurgitation of blood through the mitral valve (blood flowing from the ventricle back into the left atrium) during ventricular systole?

- Which of the following statements are true? (a) The left ventricle wall is thicker than the right ventricle wall. (b) The left ventricle pumps blood at a higher pressure than the right ventricle. (c) The left ventricle pumps more blood with each beat than the right ventricle. Explain.arrow_forwardIf the length of the diastolic filling phase is reduced by one half because the heart rate increases, would only half as much blood enter the ventricles?arrow_forwardWhy is the wall of the left ventricle thicker thanthe wall of the right ventricle?arrow_forward
- Explain why ventricles are more muscular than atriaarrow_forwardAs blood in the ventricles surges back against the closed AV valves, the first heart sound ("lubb") can be heard. Why does this heart sound occur near the middle of the QRS complex in the ECG?arrow_forwardBecky, age 2, was born with a hole in her interventricular septum (ventricular septal defect, or VSD). Considering that the blood pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than blood pressure in the right ventricle, predict the effect of the VSD on Becky’s pulmonary blood pressure, systemic blood pressure, and long-term changes in the ventricular walls.arrow_forward
- What are two similarities and two differences between theright and left ventricles?arrow_forwardWhich represents time for the passage of the electrical impulse through the atrium, causing atrial depolarization. Which represents time for depolarization of both ventricles. Which represents time for ventricular repolarization. Which represents the time taken for the entire electrical depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles. ["QRS complex", "T wave", "P wave" , "P-R interval", "QRS interval", "ST segment", "QT interval"arrow_forwardWhich part of the intrinsic conduction system directly excites ventricular myocardial cells? In which direction does the depolarization wave travel across the ventricles?arrow_forward
- During a cardiac angiogram, it is discovered that a 58-year-old patient has moderate stenosis of the left circumflex artery. Which chamber of the heart would be impacted by this blockage?arrow_forwardDoes the right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI) measure the amount of work required by the right ventricle to pump blood? How?arrow_forwardThe left AV valve has only two large leaflets, while the right AV valve has three smaller leaflets. It is a general principle of physiology that structure is a determinant of—and has coevolved with—function. Although it is unknown why the two valves differ in structure in this way, what difference in the functional demands of the left side of the heart might explain why there is one less valve leaflet than on the right side?arrow_forward
