Chapter 30, Problem 5MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The sinoatrial node is also called natural pacemaker is made of specialized bundle of neuron and is located in the upper part of right atrium. It is involved in the production of normal heart beats with a rhythm of about 70 beats per minutes for a healthy and resting heart.

- After her workout, Arlene lies down on a mat to stretch out her leg muscles. She stands up suddenly after stretching and feels a bit light-headed. However, the lightheaded feeling passes quickly. What physiologic process occurred that resulted in the passing of her light-headed feeling? a. The aortic bodies detected an increase in blood pressure in the head and initiated a chemoreceptor reflex that decreased blood pressure. b. The carotid bodies detected low CO2 and high O2 levels from exercising and stimulated the vasomotor center to vasoconstrict the vessels of the head and neck. c. Only α receptors in the head and neck initially were being stimulated, resulting in the light-headed feeling. d. The baroreceptors within the carotid detected decreased stretch in the carotid vessel wall and initiated an autonomic reflex to increase blood flow to the head and neck.arrow_forwardWhy 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 of the following statements is true? a. The longer the vessel, the lower the resistance and the greater the flow. b. As blood volume decreases, blood pressure and blood flow also decrease. O c. Increased viscosity increases blood flow. d.
