Question
Tell whether the following statement is true or false:
The pulmonary circulation moves blood through the left
side of the heart.
- 7. Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer
False
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
through the pulmonary arteries, where gas exchange
takes place. The left side of the heart is considered
systemic circulation because blood is pumped to all body
tissues.

Question
Which ion channels allow cardiac muscle to fire without a
stimulus?
a. Na+
b. K+
c. Ca2+
d. Cl-
- 17. Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer
c. Ca2+
In the S-A node and A-V node, resting cardiac muscle cells
have open Ca2+ channels. This allows Ca2+ to leak into the
cells, making them more positive (the cells reach
threshold this way without the need for a stimulus).
- 19. Heart Contraction
How would each of the following affect heart
contraction:
• A calcium-channel blocker
• A Na+ channel blocker
• A drug that opened Na+ channels
• A drug that opened K+ channels

- 20. Cardiac Cycle—Diastole
• Ventricles relaxed
• Blood entering atria
• Blood flows through AV valves into
ventricles
• Semilunar valves are closed
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
- 22. Cardiac Cycle—Systole
• Ventricles contract
• Blood pushes against AV valves and they
shut
• Blood pushes through semilunar valves into
aorta and pulmonary trunk
Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
- 23. Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Question
Which of the following statements is true about ventricular
systole?
a. Atria contract
b. Ventricles contract
c. AV valves are open
d. Semilunar valves are closed
- 24. Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer
b. Ventricles contract
During ventricular systole, the ventricles contract. Because
blood is being forced from the ventricle, semilunar
valves must be open and AV valves, closed. The atria is
in diastole (relaxation) during ventricular systole.
- 25. Cardiac Cycle
Discussion:
• Arrange these steps in the proper order:
– Ventricles relax – First heart sound
– Systole – Semilunar valves open
– Diastole – AV valves close
– AV valves open – Semilunar valves close
– Ventricles contract – Second heart sound

- 26. Pressure, Resistance, Flow
• Fluid flow through a vessel depends on:
– The pressure difference between ends of the vessel
º Pressure pushes the fluid through
º Pressure keeps the vessel from collapsing
– The vessel’s resistance to fluid flow
º Small vessels have more resistance
º More viscous fluids have greater resistance

- 27. Pressure, Resistance, Flow of Blood
• Blood flow through a vessel depends on:
– Heart creating pressure difference between
ends of the vessel
• Heart pushing the blood through
• Blood pressure keeping the vessels open
– The vessel’s resistance to fluid flow
• Constricting arterioles increasing resistance
• Increased hematocrit increasing resistance

- 28. Discussion:
How will each of these factors affect arteriole
size and peripheral resistance?
• Lactic acid • Low PO2
• Cold • Histamine
• Endothelin • Heat
• NO • Adenosine

Question
Tell whether the following statements is true or false:
In patients with hypertension (high blood pressure),
peripheral resistance is increased.
- 31. Copyright © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Answer
True
In hypertension, blood vessels are constricted/narrowed.
Smaller vessels increase resistance (it’s harder to push
the same amount of fluid/blood through a tube that has
become smaller).
