Answer: D 80 mmHg
Blood pressure is presented as systole (contraction) over diastole (relaxation)
MAP = 1/3 systole + 2/3 diastole b/c diastolic period is twice as long as systolic
period
MAP = 120/3 + 2*60/3
MAP = 40 + 40 = 80 mmHg
Answer: C More P waves b/c QRS complex represents the depolarization of the
ventricles; AV bundle (or the Bundle of His) is located at septum prior to reaching
Purkinje fibres at apex of ventricles
Not A: P-R interval represents depolarization of atria (SA to AV node; occurs
before blockage)
Not B: QRS complex corresponds with depolarization of ventricles; blockage
occurs before QRS interval
Not D: More QRS complexes indicates blockage betw/ SA and AV node (since AV
node and Purkinje fibres can act take over as main pacemakers for the heart);
but blockage is not betw/ these nodes
Answer: B Yeah
Not A: RBCs dont even have nuclei; how are they going to have any power in
directing the flow of blood
Answer: A Thats the point; you want the refractory period to be minute so that no
tetanus (i.e. summation) will occur
Not B: Irrelevant
Not C: Irrelevant
Not D: Irrelevant
Answer: B
Not A: Blood flow rate can regulated via increased resistance (via reduced
radius; recall Poiseilles Law)
Not C: Blood pressure regulated primarily by left ventricular pressure and
resistance to be overcome
Not D: This is just handy
Answer: B 99 mmHg
MAP = 1/3 systole + 2/3 diastole
MAP = 107/3 + 2*95/3
MAP = 35.67 + 63.33
MAP = 99 mmHg
Answer: B L-type calcium channels are the first to be opened in response to action
potential (located in T-tubules)
Not A: Na+/K+ ATPase is activated in response to NCX transporters
Not C: HCN channels found in autorhythmic/pacemaker cells; not contractile cells
Not D: NCX transporters are activated to restore Ca2+ concentration outside of
cell (pumps 1 Ca2+ out, 3 Na+ in)
Answer: A Pressure is the driving force for blood flow; this is established by your
left ventricle
Not B: People who choose this answer probably arent getting enough blood to
their brain because GRAVITY
Not C: Osmotic pressure important for filtration and other things
Not D: Volume wtf
Answer: B This is it; reactive hyperemia is the local widening of the arterioles in
response to a blockage
Not A: This wasnt mentioned
Not C: No
Not D: No
