Chapter 12, Problem 6RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are four specific properties of the cardiac cells, namely automaticity, contractibility, conductivity, and excitability. Apart from these properties, another important property is refractory periods. The refractory period includes the ionic composition of cells and the ability of the cells to accept a stimulus. There are three different types of the refractory period, namely absolute refractory period, nonrefractory period, and relative refractory period.

SA node is the main pacemaker of the heart. 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 down
What will happen to the next level of exercise tolerance in a person whose heart is being paced by the AV node?
A. Level of exercise tolerance will stay the same
B. Level of exercise tolerance will decrease
C. Level of exercise tolerance will increase
What 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.
QRS complex, increased ventricular pressure, AV-valve closes, blood moves out
