1. Between which times is the valve between atrium 0.1 and 0.5 so the pres-
and the ventricle closed? Explain sure is greater in the
ventricle than in the
atirum.
2. The max pressure in ventricle is much higher The ventricle has thick
than that in the atrium. Explain what causes this: walls so the contrac-
tions are stronger.
3. Use the info in the table to calculate the heart rate 85
in beats per minute
4. Explain why both the heart and arteries are de- They contain different
scribed as organs. tissues.
5. What is the approximate length of one cardiac 0.8 seconds
cycle?
6. At what time is there least blood in the right 0.4 seconds as the se-
ventricle so explain answer? quences in right ventri-
cle is same as the left
ventricle.
7. Between which times are the muscles in the wall between 0 and 0.1 be-
of the left atrium contracting? cause the volume of
blood is increasing.
8. Between which times are the semilunar valves in between 0.1 and 0.4 as
the arteries open? the volume of blood is
decreasing.
9. The maximum volume of blood in the left ventri- 45/100 x 35 = 15.75 cm3
cle is 45cm3. Calculate the volume of blood in the
left ventricle at 0.5 seconds.
10. Between which times is the left atrum contract- Between 0.1 seconds
ing? and 0.6 seconds as the
volume in the left ventri-
cle is increasing.
