If the atrioventricular node is damaged:
1. SA node would not develop action potential
2. atria will fail to contract
3. the impulse will not reach AV node
4. the impulse will not reach ventricles

The SA node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because its cells
1. spontaneously generate electrical signals about 70 to 80 times per minute.
2. are located in the interventricular septum.
3. generate electrical signals only when stimulated by sympathetic fibers.
4. are not in contact with other cells of the heart.

What happens during the isovolumetric relaxation of the cardiac cycle?
1. the atria contract and pump blood into the ventricles.
2. the ventricles contract and pump blood into the blood vessels.
3. both atria and ventricles are relaxed.
4. the ventricles contract but ventricular pressure is lower than arterial. pressure

How would the blood pumped per minute by the left ventricle compare with that pumped by the right ventricle?
1. normally greater than that of the right ventricle.
2. probably lower than the right ventricle if the person has systemic edema.
3. probably lower than the right ventricle if the person has pulmonary edema.
4. probably higher than the right ventricle if the person has pulmonary edema.
