50 ml
6. Which of the following is true of the left ventricle?
The left ventricle has a thicker myocardium than the right ventricle
7. Each of the cardiac valves opens and closes in response to:
Changes in pressure
8. Blood leaving the left atrium:
Passes through the bicuspid valve to enter the left ventricle

the aorta is part of the pulmonary circulation
10. Blood flows from the right atrium through:
the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle
11. Place the following in order of the propagation of the cardiac action potential:
a. Correct order: Purkinje fibers, SA node, Right and left bundle branches, AV bundle, AV node.
12. The QRS complex of the ECG is associated with:
Ventricular depolarization
13. During the cardiac cycle, in order for blood to be ejected from the heart the pressure inside the ventricle must increase. This increase in interventricular pressure is due to:
a. Both A and B are correct: Increase in ventricular volume, and Ventricular contraction
14. Heart sounds are the results of cardiac valves closing and causing:
Turbulent flow
15. Which of the following correctly describes how stroke volume is regulated?
a. (ALL ARE CORRECT) By adjusting the preload, or degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts…by adjusting contractility or strength of contraction of the heart at a given preload…by adjusting the afterload, the pressure that must be overcome to open an SL valve…
16. The Frank-Starling law of heart states:
a. That the right and left ventricles must pump equal amount of blood with each heartbeat.
17. Which of the following is NOT true of regulation of the heart?
a. The brain cannot modulate heart rate.
18. Which equation is correct?
a. NFP= (BHP + IFOP) – (BCOP + IFHP)
19. The sites of exchange between the blood and the tissues are:
the capillaries
20. The blood vessels that drain blood directly from the capillary beds are:
the venules
21. Which of the following does NOT cause vasodilation?
Increase parasympathetic stimulation
22. Which blood vessels play a key role in regulating blood distribution and pressure because their diameter may be easily and rapidly adjusted?
Arterioles
23. Which part of the arterial wall contains smooth muscles?
Tunica Media
24. Which pressures contribute to filtration?
a. Both A and B are correct: BHP and IFOP
25. Which resistance factor is most important in controlling blood pressure?
a. Diameter of the arteriole lumen

28. Increased secretion of which of the following hormones would decrease blood pressure?
a. ANP: arterial natriuretic peptide
29. Autoregulation of blood flow responds to:
a. Metabolic demand by directing blood to the most active tissues
30. The T wave of ECG is associated with:
Ventricular Repolarization
31. On the venous end of the capillary:
a. The pressures governing bulk flow favor net reabsorption
32. The trachea:
a. Conducts air from the larynx into the bronchi and lined with the pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium (A AND B ARE CORRECT)
33. Each of the following is part of the resp. membrane except:
a. Lymphatic vessel basement membrane
34. The basic steps of gas exchange or respiration in the body include:
a. (ALL ARE CORRECT) Pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, internal respiration
35. Exhalation (expiration):
a. Is usually a passive process at rest and depends upon the elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs. (BOTH ARE CORRECT)
36. Tidal volume is:
a. The amount of air moved in and out of the lungs during normal breathing.
37. The presence of _______ decreases the surface tension in the alveoli preventing their collapse after exhalation. Many premature infants have respiratory problems related to insufficient amount of this substance:
Surfactant
38. The P wave of the ECG is associated with:
Atrial Depolarization
39. When the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract, which action does not occur?
the pressure inside the lungs increase
40. The most important method of capillary exchange of CO2, O2, glucose, amino acids, and hormone is:
Diffusion
41. Which is not correctly described:
a. Residual volume: amount of air moved in and out of the lungs during normal quiet breathing.
42. External respiration:
a. Moves CO2 out of blood and O2 into blood…and is the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood (A AND B ARE CORRECT)
43. During internal respiration:
a. Gases are exchanged between the blood and tissue and O2 moves out of blood… and CO2 moves into blood. (BOTH A AND B ARE CORRECT)
44. Which does NOT directly factor in the rate of gas exchange?
