Which chamber of the heart receives oxygen-depleted blood from the body?

Right atrium

Explanation

Receives deoxygenated blood from the body.

Which of the following blood vessels carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?

Pulmonary vein

Explanation

Transports oxygenated blood from the lungs.

Capillaries are the site of:

Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange

Explanation

Exchange of gases.

In the context of blood vessels, which type has the thinnest walls and is responsible for nutrient and gas exchange?

Capillaries

Explanation

Thin-walled vessels for exchange.

The QRS complex on an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents:

Ventricular depolarization

Explanation

Electrical activity during ventricle contraction.

What is the primary function of the atrioventricular (AV) node in the heart?

To delay the transmission of electrical impulses to the ventricles

Explanation

Delays electrical impulses to coordinate heart contraction.

The cardiac output is defined as the volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute. Which formula correctly represents cardiac output?

Heart rate x Stroke volume

Explanation

Product of heart rate and stroke volume.

What is the term for the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle is pumping blood?

Systole

Explanation

Phase of heart contraction.

Which valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle in the heart?

Mitral valve

Explanation

Separates left atrium and ventricle.

#10

Which of the following structures is involved in the electrical conduction system of the heart?

Bundle of His

Explanation

Part of heart's electrical conduction.

#11

Which layer of the heart wall is responsible for its pumping action?

Myocardium

Explanation

Heart's muscular layer responsible for pumping.

#12

What is the primary function of the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart?

To generate the electrical impulses that initiate the heartbeat

Explanation

Generates heartbeat initiation signals.

#13

Which blood vessel is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself?

Coronary artery

Explanation

Supplies oxygenated blood to the heart.

#14

In the context of blood pressure, what does the term 'systolic' represent?

The pressure during heart contraction

Explanation

Blood pressure during heart contraction.

#15

The preload of the heart refers to:

The volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole

Explanation

Blood volume in ventricles at end of relaxation.
