8. Dr. Calvin is giving a lecture on the properties of cardiac tissue. During the lecture,
he states that the conduction tissue of the heart does not require any external
stimulus to initiate its contractions. It has the ability to initiate its own electrical
stimulation. To demonstrate this property, Dr. Calvin dissects a frog and places its
heart in a petri dish with Ringer's solution. He then asks his students to observe how
the frog's heart continues to beat without any external stimulation. Based on the
information provided in this scenario, which property of the heart is Dr. Calvin trying
to demonstrate?
A. Elasticity
B. Autorhythmicity
C. Contractility
D. Rigidity Correct Ans ➡ B
9. An increase in heart rate primarily begins with stimulation of which part of the
conduction system?
A. Purkinje fibers
B. Atrioventricular bundle
C. Atrioventricular (AV) node
D. Sinoatrial (SA) node Correct Ans ➡ D
10. Identify an accurate statement about the conduction system of the heart.
A. An electrical impulse is normally generated within the atrioventricular node.
B. The Purkinje fibers distribute excitation through the ventricular myocardium.
C. Impulse conduction first results in the contraction of the left ventricle and then in
the contraction of the right ventricle.
D. The left side of the heart pumps a greater amount of blood than the right side of
the heart in a particular amount of time. Correct Ans ➡ B
11. The unique property of the heart that allows it to initiate its own electrical
stimulation is known as _____.
A. autorhythmicity
B. conductivity
C. contractility
D. excitability Correct Ans ➡ A
12. The _____ of the heart is commonly referred to as the pacemaker.
A. The atrioventricular node
B. The bundle of Purkinje fibers
C. The atrioventricular bundle
,D. The sinoatrial node Correct Ans ➡ D
13. The excitation and contraction of the heart begins with the:
A. contraction of the right side of the heart followed by the contraction of the left
side.
B. contraction of the left side of the heart followed by the contraction of the right
side.
C. contraction of both ventricles followed by the contraction of both atria.
D. contraction of both atria followed by the contraction of both ventricles. Correct
Ans ➡ D
14. The P wave of an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents the:
A. depolarization of the atria.

the:
A. QRS wave.
B. P wave.
C. ST segment.
D. T wave. Correct Ans ➡ D
16. Alex goes to the hospital for a checkup after experiencing severe chest pain. After
a preliminary physical examination, a health care professional asks Alex to lie down,
places small metal disc electrodes on his body, and hooks the electrodes up to a
machine that starts recording the electrical activity of Alex's heart. After the
procedure, the health care professional hands over the recording to a doctor for
analysis. This recording is known as a(n) _____.

B. mammogram
C. electrocardiogram
