matrix can be either solid or fluid)
Abnormal Pacemaker Function Correct Answers bradycardia,
tachycardia, ectopic pacemaker
Absolute refractory period (heart) Correct Answers •Long
•Cardiac muscle cells cannot respond
Abundance of RBCs Correct Answers RBC count and
hematocrit
Acidophils Correct Answers stains with acidic dyes
Activated platelets release clotting compounds Correct Answers
1. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)- stimulates platelet
aggregation and secretion
2. Thromboxane A2 and serotonin- causes vascular spasms
3. Clotting factors
4. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)- promotes vessel
repair

Aerobic energy of heart Correct Answers •From mitochondrial
breakdown of fatty acids and glucose
•Oxygen from circulating hemoglobin
•Cardiac muscles store oxygen in myoglobin
Afterload Correct Answers •Tension the ventricle produces to
open the semilunar valve and eject blood
,•Is increased by any factor that restricts arterial blood flow
•As afterload increases, stroke volume decreases
•Ex. Damage to semilunar valves that restrict blood flow into
arteries, constriction of peripheral blood vessels, circulatory
blockage
Agglutinogens Correct Answers •Antigens on surface of RBCs-
usually ignored by your own immune system
•Your immune system screens your body for
agglutinogens/antigens
•Plasma antibodies attack and agglutinate foreign antigens

acids, thyroid hormones, and steroid hormones

Angina Pectoris (chest pain) Correct Answers •In its most
common form, a temporary ischemia develops when the
workload of the heart increases
•Although the individual may feel comfortable at rest, exertion
or emotional stress can produce a sensation of pressure, chest
, constriction, and pain that may radiate from the sternal area to
the arms, back, and neck
Anterior and posterior interventricular sulcus Correct Answers
•Separate left and right ventricles
•Contain blood vessels of cardiac muscle
Anticoagulants (plasma proteins) Correct Answers inhibit
clotting factors; anticoagulants include: antithrombin-III and
Alpha-2-macroglobulin
Antithrombin-III and Alpha-2-macroglobulin Correct Answers
inhibit thrombin
Aortic Sinuses Correct Answers •At base of ascending aorta
•Sacs that prevent valve cusps from sticking to aorta
•Origin of right and left coronary arteries
•Blood drained from cardiac tissue by cardiac veins, merge
together at coronary sinus

method of ventricular filling Correct Answers 70; passive;
primary
Aspirin Correct Answers inhibits production of prostaglandins
