The doctor believes the patient's stroke volume may be the cause of the symptoms. What does that mean?
the volume of blood pumped from the right ventricle
the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle
how much brain damage occurred
the heart rate times the volume of blood pumped per heart beat

thinner left ventricular wall
thicker right atrium wall
thinner left atrium wall
Blood includes...
red blood cells (erythrocytes)

What is the function of an artery?
to carry blood to the heart
to carry blood both directions
none of these

What is the function of the vein?
to carry blood to the heart
to carry blood away from the heart
to carry blood both directions
none of these
What is one function of a node in the heart?
to stops electrical impulses in the heart
to begin electrical impulses in the heart
to reverse the electrical impulse in the heart
it does not affect electrical impulses in the heart
What does an ECG/EKG monitor?
breathing
blood pressure
lub, dub
heart electrical activity
Red blood cells have the important job of delivering oxygen to the body. Which molecule in the RBC binds to the oxygen?
antigens
RBC
carbohydrate
hemoglobin
What type of tissue lines the blood vessels so that molecules can pass through (diffuse across) them easily?
nervous
stratified cuboidal
cardiac muscle
simple squamous epithelium
As blood circulates throughout the lungs and body, which blood vessels are the site of gas exchange?
lungs
venules
arterioles
capillaries
Depolarization of the ventricles are represented by what in an ECG?
T
RR distance
PR distance
QRS
As the conduction between the atria and the ventricles slow, what happens in an ECG?
the RR distance decreases
the RR distance increases
the PR distance decreases
the PR distance increases
When the heart is not contracting at regular intervals, what happens in an ECG?
RR distance is consistent
RR distance fluctuates
PR distance is consistent
PR distance fluctuates
In order to fight off infections, our bodies need a special type of blood cell. Which type is it?
leukocytes (WBC)
platelets
erythrocytes (RBC)
plasma
What is the function of an erythrocyte (RBC)?
fight infection
blood clotting
carry oxygen
clog arteries
Which of the following is true about blood?

all blood is the same color of red
scientists are unsure about blood color
What molecules in the RBC membrane create the blood types?
proteins & lipids
sugars & proteins
lipids & sugars
all of these

B & Rh
A & Rh
A & O & Rh
Plasma, the liquid portion of our blood, is made of mostly what?
antibodies

blood vessels
valves
ventricles
atria
How do pulmonary and systemic circulation work together?
they do not work together
they both help retrieve oxygen
systemic retrieves the oxygen and pulmonary delivers it
pulmonary retrieves the oxygen and systemic delivers it
Who can donate blood to a patient that has blood type A+
AB+, O+, A+
A+, O+, A-, O-
O+, A+, B+, AB+
A+ only
Which arteries have less oxygen, those that go to the lungs or those that go to the body?
those going to the body
those going to the lungs
they are the same
the difference is very small

O-
The monitor tech noticed the EKG was missing the P wave. Which part of the heart is malfunctioning?
AV node
SA node
Bundle of His
Purkinje Fibers
The doctor noticed that the patient's leukocytes were lower than they should be. How can that affect the patient?
can't form blood clots when injured
can't transmit as much oxygen
can't fight germs as well
all of these
