KETTERING TESTS CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
PAPER 2026 COMPLETE ANSWERS
◉ cardiac output. Answer: the amount of blood ejected by the left
ventricle each minute
◉ afterload. Answer: The amount of force a contracting ventricle
must produce to open the semilunar valve
◉ Positive inotropic agents often. Answer: block calcium entry
◉ NOT a source of peripheral resistance. Answer: volume
◉ sinoatrial node. Answer: The cardiac pacemaker or the natural
pacemaker
◉ chemoreceptors. Answer: respond to changes in oxygen levels
blood pH and cerebrospinal fluid pH
◉ atrioventricular node. Answer: is in the floor of the right atrium
near the opening of the coronary sinus
, ◉ peripheral resistance. Answer: The resistance to blood flow
primarily caused by friction within the vessel walls
◉ contractility. Answer: The amount of force produced during a
contraction independent of preload
◉ atrioventricular node. Answer: will generate an action potential at
a rate of 40 - 60 per minute
◉ interatrial septum. Answer: divides the right atrium from the left
atrium
◉ the normal conduction pathway of the heart. Answer: SA node AV
node bundle of his right and left bundle branches Purkinje fibers
◉ How does blood normally flow. Answer: arteries arterioles
capillaries venules veins
◉ NOT directly affect the heart. Answer: growth hormones
◉ does not carry oxygenated blood. Answer: pulmonary artery
◉ What occluded artery would most likely cause a lateral wall
infarction ?. Answer: circumflex
