CHAPTER 1: ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
1. Which of the following structures is responsible for the
electrical impulse that triggers the heartbeat?
A. AV node
B. SA node
, C. Bundle of His
D. Purkinje fibers
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sinoatrial (SA) node generates electrical
impulses that initiate the heart's rhythmic contractions, known as
the pacemaker of the heart.
2. The primary function of the atria is to:
A. Pump blood into the lungs
B. Collect oxygenated blood from the body
C. Receive blood and push it into the ventricles
D. Circulate blood throughout the body
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The atria receive blood returning to the heart and
pump it into the ventricles for circulation.
3. Which of the following is a component of the heart's conduction
system?
A. Aorta
B. Left ventricle
, C. Bundle of His
D. Right atrium
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The Bundle of His is part of the conduction system
that transmits electrical impulses to the ventricles.
4. The QRS complex represents which of the following?
A. Atrial depolarization
B. Ventricular depolarization
C. Atrial repolarization
D. Ventricular repolarization
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The QRS complex represents the electrical activity
associated with the depolarization of the ventricles, which
precedes ventricular contraction.
5. The P wave corresponds to:
A. Atrial depolarization
B. Ventricular repolarization
C. Ventricular depolarization
