to great vessels
The adult heart averages ___________ grams. - ANS-250-300
The epicardium - ANS-covers the surface of the heart.
Energy for contraction of myocardial cells comes primarily from

respiration in the
mitochondria
What event(s) occur during the QRS complex of an ECG? - ANS-
depolarization of the
ventricles and repolarization of
the atria
,The relationship between preload and stroke volume is known as - ANS-
Starling Law of
the
heart.
Cardiac muscle cells - ANS-are maintained by an extensive capillary
network.
During the isovolumetric contraction period of the cardiac cycle,
- ANS-AV and
semilunar valves are
closed.
Pressure in the right ventricle must exceed pressure in the ____
before the right
ventricle can eject blood. - ANS-
pulmonary trunk
In the cardiac cycle, - ANS-all four chambers of the heart are in
diastole at the same
time.
What cardiac arrhythmia will have no QRS complex as a symptom? -
ANS-ventricular
fibrillation
Which of the following is administered to the people suffering from
myocardial infarction
,following onset of symptoms? - ANS-Tissue plasminogen
activator (t-PA)
Which of the following might increase the risk for cardiovascular
disease? - ANS-chronic
stress
Aortic stenosis results from - ANS-a narrowed opening through the
aortic valve
An incompetent pulmonary semilunar valve could result in less blood
reaching the -
ANS-
lungs
A patient has been diagnosed with mild heart disease. Tests show
that some of the coronary arteries are partially occluded. Which of
the following is the best course of
action to treat the disease? - ANS-

cardiac muscle.
Coronary artery disease can diminish myocardial blood flow resulting
in the death of
myocardial cells. This condition is known as a myocardial -

Which type of vessel has the greatest compliance? - ANS-veins
Which of the following thoracic organs is supplied by a parietal branch
of the thoracic
aorta? - ANS-the intercostal
muscles
Increased pressure in the aortic arch will activate the aortic arch
reflex and cause -
ANS-increased parasympathetic stimulation of
the heart.
According to Poiseuille's law, - ANS-if resistance increases, flow
decreases
The vein that ascends along the medial side of the lower limb to the
femoral vein is the
____ saphenous vein and the vein that ascends along the posterior
aspect of the leg to
the popliteal vein is the _____ saphenous vein. - ANS-
