1. increasing the heart rate.
2. sending sympathetic signals to the myocardial cells.
3. increasing cardiac output.
4. causing vasodilation

Action potentials pass from one cardiac muscle cell to another
1. through gap junctions.
2. by a special cardiac nervous system.
3. because of the large voltage of the action potentials.
4. because of the plateau phase of the action potentials.
5. by neurotransmitters.

Electrical relay station, slowing the electrical current sent by the sinoatrial (SA) node before the signal is permitted to pass down through to the ventricles, is/are:

Hints

Purkinje fibers are the part of the nodal tissue of the human heart that
1. are specialized cardiac muscle cells.
2. conduct impulses much more slowly than ordinary cardiac muscle.
3. conduct action potentials through the atria.
4. connect between the SA node and the AV node.

The semilunar valves will open during a normal cardiac cycle when the pressure in the left ventricle is
1. greater than the pressure in the aorta.
2. less than the pressure in the aorta.
3. the same as the pressure in the aorat.
4. less than the pressure in the left atrium.

2. difference between end-diastolic and end-systolic volume.
3. difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
4. amount of blood pumped by atrial systole into the ventricles.
