What prevents blood from flowing back into the atria when the ventricles contract?
semilunar valves
sinoatrial node
atrioventricular node
tricuspid and bicuspid valves
When this chamber contracts, it pushes blood through the tricuspid valve
right atria
right ventricle
left atria
left ventricle
When this chamber contracts, it pushes blood through the tricuspid valve
right atria
right ventricle
left atria
left ventricle
This initiates the action potential that causes the heart to beat
Inferior vena cava
Atrioventricular node (AV node)
Superior vena cava
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
When blood leaves this chamber of the heart, it heads to the lungs
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
This stops blood from flowing back into the ventricles each time they contract
semilunar valves
tricuspid and bicuspid valves
Sinoatrial node (SA node)
Aorta
This chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
Blood traveling through the pulmonary circuit goes through the right side of the heart and out to the _______
left side of the heart
body
lungs
tricuspid valve
Blood traveling through the systemic circuit goes through the _____ side of the heart and out to the body
right
left
Which of the following is FALSE about pacemaker cells?
They allow the heart to beat on its own
They create their own electrical impulses
They are part of the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node
They require depolarizing stimulation from the brain
Why is coronary circulation necessary?
because blood needs to be pushed throughout the entire body
because the heart itself needs nourishment
because the scalp requires an exceptional amount of nourishment
What do red blood cells do?
carries oxygen
fights infection
clots blood
nothing; the white blood cells do all the work
What is hypertension?
have low blood pressure because of a passed down disease
have high blood pressure because of a passed down disease
when you have high blood pressure without any physical reason
when you have low blood pressure without any physical reason
The apex (tip) of the heart is pointed
to the left side
to the right side
straight down the middle of the body
The layer covering the heart is called the pericardium
The layers of the heart from superficial to deep
pericardium - epicardium - myocardium - endocardium
pericardium - myocardium - epicardium - endocardium
endocardium - myocardium - epicardium - pericardium

aorta
vena cava
carotid
jugular

this type of cell is responsible for releasing histamines during an allergic reaction
neutrophil
monocyte
lymphocyte
basophil
The proteins found on the surface of RBCs that allow us to type blood as A, B, O or AB are called
antigens
antibodies
aggluntates
Rh factors
What is produced by your body in response to foreign antigens, such as the wrong type of blood?
agglutinates
clotting factors
phagocytes
antibodies
