Question
Chapter 53, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The regulation of homeostasis related to the circulation of blood is maintained by an integrated system. It comprises organs and receptors. The baroreceptors are present in the major blood vessels such as aorta and carotid artery.

- 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 myocardiumarrow_forwardWhich is not true about early after depolarizations in ventricular cardiac muscle? A. Excitatory currents re-activate and interact with other currents which can cause EADs. B. EADs are sustained by re-entrant refractoiness. C. EADs are often associated with Long QT syndrome. D. Premature reactivation of excitatory current currents during repolarization is a cause of EADs. E. Adverse drug reactions resulting in diminished potassium currents relative to calcium currents are associated with EADs.arrow_forwardComplete 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 systolearrow_forward

Why is the normal heart rate lower than the intrinsic firing rate of the SA node? A. sympathetic inputs from the hypothalamus are slowing it down B. parasympathetic inputs from medulla oblongata are slowing it down C. there is inertia in heart muscle as it takes time for impulse to spread through all the cells D. centrifugal inputs from the AV node are slowing it downarrow_forwardWhat is the correct order of events in the left ventricle during the systole phase of the cardiac cycle? a. Ventricular repolarization, ventricular relaxation, 2nd heart sound, AV valve opens, blood moves in b. QRS-complex, ventricular contraction, 2nd heart sound, aortic valve opens, blood moves out c. P-wave, increased ventricular pressure, 1st heart sound, aortic valve opens, blood moves in d. QRS complex, ventricular contraction, 1st heart sound, AV valve opens, blood moves out e.
