Which of the following is NOT paired correctly?

• mediastinum - middle cavity of the thorax where the heart is located

• pericardium - wall that divides the right and left sides of the heart

• myocardium - the heart muscle

• blood - carries various substances throughout the body

Which of the following statements about blood pressure is NOT correct?

• blood pressure is controlled by the sinoatrial node

• 110/70 is considered to a normal, healthy blood pressure

• systolic pressure is pressure in the arteries during ventricular contraction

• the device used to measure blood pressure is a sphygmomanometer

Which of the following is NOT associated with ventricular systole?

• atrioventricular valves close

• heart is relaxed

• blood rushes out of the ventricles

• sinoatrial node - sets the heart rate; also called the pacemaker

• cardiac cycle - the events in one heartbeat

• bradycardia - a slow heart rate less that 60 bpm

• first "lub" heart sound - caused by closing of the semilunar valves
