When the stroke volume of the ventricles is much less than the expected values, the heart is said to be:
1. Fibrillating
2. Blocked
3. Arrested
4. Failing
A trained athlete can achieve a maximal cardiac output of:
1. | 5 – 10 L/min | 2. | 15 – 20 L/min |
3. | 25 – 30 L/min | 4. | 55 – 60 L/min |
The atria receive:
1. | Oxygenated blood | 2. | Deoxygenated blood |
3. | Mixed blood | 4. | Venous blood |
On a surface ECG, the end of ventricular systole is marked by:
1. | The end of the QRS complex |
2. | The beginning of T wave |
3. | The end of T wave |
4. | The beginning of P wave |
Normal activities of the human heart are regulated:
1. Intrinsically
2. By the autonomic nervous system
3. By the somatic neural system
4. By the adrenal medullary hormones
A normal blood pressure reading in a healthy adult human being would be:
I: | 116/76 mm Hg |
II: | 150/80 mm Hg |
III: | 120/94 mm Hg |
1. | Only I | 2. | Both I and II |
3. | Both I and III | 4. | I, II and III |
The first heart sound is heard during the:
1. Beginning of ventricular systole
2. End of ventricular systole
3. Beginning of atrial systole
4. End of ventricular diastole
All the following statements regarding joint diastole phase of the cardiac cycle are correct except:
1. | All chambers are in a relaxed state |
2. | The AV valves may remain closed in the initial period |
3. | Ventricles get filled in the later part |
4. | Semilunar valves remain open |
Purkinje fibers are:
1. | Intrinsic neural fibers in the ventricles |
2. | Muscle fibers that interconnect SA node and AV node |
3. | Muscle fibers that are distributed in the ventricular musculature |
4. | Neural fibers that spread the impulse throughout the ventricular muscle mass |
A tricuspid valve will prevent flow of blood from:
1. Right atrium to right ventricle
2. Right ventricle to right atrium
3. Left atrium to left ventricle
4. Left ventricle to left atrium
