CORRECT ANSWER

pulmonic




Question 11

Valve A requires 5mmHg to move blood and valve B requires 30mmHg. Which valve has a
smaller diameter?

CORRECT ANSWER

Valve B




Question 12

What is the right ventricular diastolic pressure?

CORRECT ANSWER

5mmHg




Question 13


3
@THE STUDY VAULT

, What is the RV EDP?

CORRECT ANSWER

5mmHg




Question 14

Why is the RV EDP not zero?

CORRECT ANSWER

Because some blood is not ejected out. The heart is not a perfectly efficient pump.




Question 15

What is a normal RV ejection fraction?

CORRECT ANSWER

55-60%




Question 16

What is EDP?
CORRECT ANSWER

End Diastolic Pressure. An efficient heart has an ejection fraction of 55-60%, this leftover
blood in the ventricle is under a resting (diastolic) pressure.




Question 17

What is a normal diastolic pressure in the pulmonary artery?

CORRECT ANSWER
