6. Differentriate between Pericardial Cavity and Visceral Pericardium?
,A. Pericardium (AKA the epicardium) is the thin, smooth, moist serous layer that covers
heart surface. Visceral Pericardium is the space between heart and pericardial sac that
is filled with pericardial fluid that acts as a lubricant.
B. Pericardial cavity is the space between heart and pericardial sac that is filled with
pericardial fluid that acts as a lubricant. Visceral Pericardium ( AKAthe epicardium) is
the sthin, smooth, moist serous layer that covers heart surface.
C. Pericardium (AKA the epicardium) is the thick, rough, moist serous layer that covers
heart surface. Visceral Pericardium is the space between heart and pericardial sac that
is filled with pericardial fluid that act as a lubricant.
D. Pericardial cavity is the space between heart and pericardial sac that is filled with
pericardial fluid that acts as a lobe. Visceral Pericardi - answer-B. Pericardial cavity is
the space between heart and pericardial sac that is filled with pericardial fluid that acts
as a lubricant. Visceral Pericardium ( AKAthe epicardium) is the thin, smooth, moist
serous layer that covers heart surface.
7. What are the 3 Layers of the Heart Wall?
A. Epicardium(Visceral pericardium), Myocardium-thick layer of cardiac muscle -fibrous
skeleton is a network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers woven in between the cardiac
muscle cells that provide structural support and elasticity that provides attachment for
cardiac muscle cells as well as a nonconductor important in coordinating contractile
activities, Endocardium -smooth inner lining of simple squamous epithelium that is
equivalent to the lining of blood vessels
B. Epicardium(Peripheral pericardium), Myocardium-thick layer of cardiac muscle -
fibrous skeleton is a network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers woven in between the
cardiac muscle cells that provide structural support and elasticity that provides
attachment for skeletal muscle cells as well as a nonconductor important in
coordinating contractile activities, Endocardium -smooth inner lining of simple squ -

8. What is Bacteria Endocarditis?
, A. is an infection caused by white blood cells that invade the bloodstream and settle in
the heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel.
B. is an infection caused by antibodies that enter the bloodstream and settle in the
heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel
C. is an infection caused by bacteria that enter the bloodstream and settle in the heart
lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel
D. is an infection caused by swelling that constricts the bloodstream and settle in the
heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel - answer-C. is an infection caused by
bacteria that enter the bloodstream and settle in the heart lining, a heart valve or a
blood vessel
9. What is a Heart sounds, Auscultation, and describe (S1), (S2), (S3)?
A. Heart sounds are due to turbulent flow of blood as heart valves close. Auscultation is
listening to sounds made by the body. (S1) is the first heart sound that is louder and
longer, "LUBB", occurs when the AV valves close. (S2) is the second heart sound that is
softer and sharper, "DUPP'', occurs when the semilunar valves close. (S3) a third heart
sound is rarely audible in people older than 30 and is known as a triple rhythm or gallop.
B. Heart sounds are due to turbulent flow of blood as heart valves opening. Auscultation
is listening to sounds made by the Heart. (S1) is the first heart sound that is louder and
longer, "LUBB", occurs when the AV valves close. (S2) is the second heart sound that is
softer and sharper, "DUPP'', occurs when the semilunar valves close. (S3) a third heart

10. What is a Cardiac Cycle?
A. One Cardiac cycle is the complete relaxation (systole) and contraction (distole) of all
4 chambers of the heart followed by a brief period of inactivity
B. One Cardiac cycle is the complete contraction (systole) and relaxation (distole) of all
4 chambers of the heart followed by a brief period of inactivity
C. One Cardiac cycle is the complete relaxation (systole) and contraction (distole) of all
2 chambers of the heart followed by a brief period of inactivity
