#1
What is the primary function of the heart in the human body?
#2
What is the term for the maximum pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries during ventricular contraction?
#3
During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the atrioventricular (AV) valves close to prevent the backflow of blood into the atria?
#4
What is the term for the volume of blood remaining in the ventricles at the end of ventricular diastole?
#5
What is the term for the period of time during the cardiac cycle when the heart is at rest and chambers are filling with blood?
#6
What is the term for the period during the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are contracting and pumping blood into the pulmonary and systemic circulation?
#7
Which chamber of the heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body?
#8
What is the term for the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart chambers fill with blood?
#9
What is the term for the volume of blood ejected by one ventricle of the heart during a single contraction?
#10
Which of the following vessels carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart?
#11
What is the primary role of the atrioventricular (AV) valves in the heart?
#12
Which of the following conditions is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, disrupting the normal cardiac cycle?
#13
Which blood vessels carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium of the heart?
#14
Which of the following represents the correct sequence of events during a complete cardiac cycle?
#15
Which part of the heart's conduction system is responsible for initiating the heartbeat?
#16
During which phase of the cardiac cycle do the semilunar valves open to allow blood to be ejected from the ventricles?
#17
Which of the following hormones is produced by the heart and plays a role in regulating blood pressure?
#18
Which component of the heart's electrical conduction system is responsible for delaying the impulse to allow for atrial contraction before ventricular contraction?
#19
Which of the following factors can influence heart rate regulation?
