Although the valve itself is located

elsewhere, the best auscultation site for
the left AV valve is near the ____ of the
heart in the fifth intercostal space.

apex

As the ventricles start to contract, the first

heart sound "lubb" signifies the closing of
the

AV valves

Blood from the systemic circuit returns

directly into which heart chamber?

right atrium

Blood from the systemic circuit returns to

the right atrium through superior and
inferior vena cava and the _______.

coronary
sinus

The cardiac muscle fibers of the

____________ act as the pacemaker, the
rhythmic center that initiates the
heartbeat.

sinoartrial
node

During late diastole, the atrioventricular

valves open, and passive filling of the
ventricle from the ____ begins and
continues as most of the ventricular filling
occurs.

atria

The epicardium is also called the _____

of the serous pericardium.

visceral
layer

Externally, the atria and ventricles are

separated by a relatively deep groove
called the

coronary
sulcus

From the right atrium, blood passes

through the tricuspid valve into the

right
ventricle

The inclusive period of time from the

beginning of one heartbeat to the next is
called

a cardiac
cycle

Innervation of the heart consists of both

sympathetic and parasympathetic
innervation collectively called the ____
___.

coronary
plexus

Just before leaving the heart to go to the

lungs, blood must pass through a smoothwalled region called the

conus
arteriosus

The left and right bundles conduct the

impulse from the AV bundle to
conduction fibers called ____ cells.

Purkinje

The myocardium is composed of

cardiac
muscle
tissue

Numerous _____ within the intercalated

discs prevent cardiac muscles from
pulling apart.

desmosomes

28.

Oxygenated blood flows through

arteries and the _____ and ____ in the
systemic circuit but through veins and
the opposite heart chambers in the
pulmonary circuit.

left atrium and

ventricle

The pulmonary trunk carries blood

from which heart chamber into the
pulmonary circuit?

right ventricle

Regardless of the heart chamber,

contraction is called ______ and
relaxation, _______.

systole;
diastole

The right coronary artery typically

branches into which two vessels?

right marginal
artery and
posterior
interventricular
artery

The serous pericardium does not form

a mucous membrane lining the

pericardial
cavity

Specialized cardiac muscle fibers that

transmit muscle impulses to the
contractile muscle cells of the
myocardium are an important part of
the heart's

conduction
system

Sympathetic and parasympathetic

components of the autonomic nervous
system that innervate the heart are
collectively called the

coronary
plexus

Sympathetic innervation of the heart

begins at ____ segments of the spinal
cord.

T1-T5

A type of heart murmur called mitral

valve prolapse would most likely involve
a defect in

the left chordae

tendineae or
papillary
muscles

The ____ valve is forced open when the

left ventricle begins to contract,
preventing back flow into the left
atrium.

bicuspid

What are the prominent ridges on the

internal surfaces of the auricles and the
anterior atrial walls?

pectinate
muscles

What happens during ventricular

diastole?

both ventricles
fill with blood

What is the correct sequence of events

in the beginning of the cardiac cycle?

atrial systole,
atrial diastole,
ventricular
systole,
ventricular
diastole

29.

What would happen if the papillary muscles could not contract?

the atrioventricular valves would not

seal tightly

30.

When a person's heart "skips a beat," what has most likely occurred?

premature ventricular contraction

31.

When closed, the bicuspid valve prevents backflow of blood into the

left atrium

Which structures prevent the AV valves from everting and flipping into the atria
when the ventricles contract?

chordae tendineae and papillary

muscles
