EXAM II NU 116 STUDY GUIDE WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS


three layers of the heart - Ans:✔✔-epicardium, myocardium, endocardium


Four chambers of the heart - Ans:✔✔-right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle


atrioventricular valves - Ans:✔✔-between atria and ventricles


tricuspid and mitral


semilunar valves - Ans:✔✔-aortic and pulmonic


coronary arteries - Ans:✔✔-supply oxygen-rich blood to the myocardium


Coronary Conduction System - Ans:✔✔-how the heart pumps//electrophysiology


cardiac hemodynamics - Ans:✔✔-describes the pumping forces or pressures required by the heart to

maintain blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system


systolic pressure - Ans:✔✔-Blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the ventricles.

diastolic pressure - Ans:✔✔-occurs when the ventricles are relaxed; the lowest pressure against the

walls of an artery


Arterioles - Ans:✔✔-small vessels that receive blood from the arteries


Venules - Ans:✔✔-small vessels that gather blood from the capillaries into the veins


SA node - Ans:✔✔-pacemaker of the heart


AV node - Ans:✔✔-relays electrical impulses from atria into ventricles


Bundle of His - Ans:✔✔-a bundle of modified heart muscle that transmits the cardiac impulse from the

atrioventricular node to the ventricles causing them to contract


bundle branches - Ans:✔✔-branches of the AV bundle that divide to the right and left sides of the

interventricular septum


purkinje fibers - Ans:✔✔-fibers in the ventricles that transmit impulses to the right and left ventricles,

causing them to contract


characteristics of veins - Ans:✔✔-Thin walled, highly distensible, contain valves, deep, superficial &

perforating have 1 way valves


characteristics of arteries - Ans:✔✔-high pressure, narrow lumen, thick elastic muscular walls, blood

away from the heart

What is the correct electrical pathway through the heart? - Ans:✔✔-SA node, AV node, bundle of His,

bundle branches (right & left), purkinje fibers


Contractility of the heart - Ans:✔✔-rate and strength of contraction, the ability of cardiac muscle to

shorten in response to electrical impulse


what causes increased heart contractility - Ans:✔✔-- catecholamines (norepinephrine, atropine)


- increase in SNS (fight or flight)


- certain meds


an increased contractility results in an increased ____________ - Ans:✔✔-stroke volume


stroke volume (SV) - Ans:✔✔-The amount of blood ejected from the heart in one contraction.


what causes decreased contractility? - Ans:✔✔-- hypoxemia: low blood oxygen


- acidosis


- certain medication (dijoxin- slows heart rate and strengthens muscle)


how does blood loss affect contractility? - Ans:✔✔-the body compensates for volume loss by

increasing heart rate and contractility

what is a cardiac cycle - Ans:✔✔-the events that occur in the heart from the beginnig of one heartbeat

to the next


the number of cardiac cycles depends on the ________ - Ans:✔✔-heart rate


each cardiac cycle has what threee major sequential events? - Ans:✔✔-- diastole: heart is at rest

between contractions


- atrial systole: the atria contract, pushing blood into the ventricles


- ventricular systole: the ventricles contract, blood is forced into the aorta & pulmonary trunk


period of diastole` - Ans:✔✔-heart is at rest between contraction


atrial systole - Ans:✔✔-the atria contract, pushing blood into the ventricles


ventricular systole - Ans:✔✔-the ventricles contract, blood is forced into the aorta & pulmonary trunk


isovolumetric contraction - Ans:✔✔-2nd phase of cardiac cycle; all valves are closed, ventricles are full

and pressure rises inside the ventricle. When ventricular pressure is greater than Aortic/Pulmonary

trunk pressure (~80 mmHg), the SLV valves will open.


how much blood is in the ventricle during isovolumetric contraction? - Ans:✔✔-130 mL


ventricular ejection - Ans:✔✔-3rd phase; SL valves open, blood leaves the ventricles rapidly at first,

the aorta reaches peak systole/contraction pressure of 80mmHg.
