is greater than the aortic/pulmonary pressure
The aortic valve opens
Z-lines _______________ during ventricular contraction (systole). - CORRECT
ANSWER - shorten
Long term (months to years) increases in the pressure required to open the pulmonary valve
would be expected to increase the thickness of the myocardium in the: - CORRECT
ANSWER - right ventricle
What is the route of blood flow in a closed system? - CORRECT ANSWER - Artery,
arteriole, capillary, venule, vein
, The coronary arteries fill ______________. - CORRECT ANSWER - during diastole
contraction of the heart squeezes the coronary arteries closed during systole
If resistance increases, but flow stays constant, what happens to the pressure in a tube? -
CORRECT ANSWER - pressure increases delta P=flow x resistance
pressure and resistance are proportional when flow is constant
The stroke volume depends on: - CORRECT ANSWER - Edv and Esv
An increase in end diastolic volume (EDV): - CORRECT ANSWER - an increase in stroke
volume
an increase in ventricular contraction
this will increase length of sarcomeres and allow for greater contraction of the ventricle
