MCQ Questions
Q.1.
The order of impulse conduction in the heart, from beginning to end, is __________.
  • 0%
    SA node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers
  • 0%
    Gap junctions allow action potentials to spread to connected cells.
  • 0%
    The SA node would depolarize less quickly, reducing the heart rate.
  • 0%
    so blood is forced upward, toward the semilunar valves
Q.2.
Why are gap junctions a vital part of the intercellular connection of cardiac muscles?
  • 0%
    The epicardium is also considered the parietal pericardium.
  • 0%
    quiescent period: total heart relaxation between heartbeats
  • 0%
    Gap junctions allow action potentials to spread to connected cells.
  • 0%
    reduced efficiency in the delivery of blood to the lungs
Q.3.
At what rate does the sinoatrial (SA) node depolarize?
  • 0%
    ventricular systole
  • 0%
    intercalated discs
  • 0%
    75 times per minute
  • 0%
    epinephrine
Q.4.
Adding a chemical that reduces Na+ transport near the sinoatrial (SA) node would have what effect on the heart's intrinsic conducting system?
  • 0%
    The SA node would depolarize less quickly, reducing the heart rate.
  • 0%
    The epicardium is also considered the parietal pericardium.
  • 0%
    Preload would be increased, which would increase cardiac output.
  • 0%
    quiescent period: total heart relaxation between heartbeats
