Question

1. Oxygenated blood leaves the left ventricle by way of the

pulmonary artery

pulmonary vein

aorta

vena cava

2. Rate-pressure product (RPP) is computed as

systolic blood pressure ¸ heart rate          

systolic blood pressure x heart rate

diastolic blood pressure ¸ heart rate

diastolic blood pressure x heart rate

none of the above

9. P-wave is to atrial depolarization as T-wave is to ___________.

atrial repolariztion

ventricular depolarization

ventricular repolarization

AV nodal depolarization

10. Cardiac Output

= heart rate x stroke volume

increases in proportion to exercise intensity

increases to a maximum of about 25L (or slightly more in male endurance athletes)

a and b only

all of the above

Explanation / Answer

1.aorta   (oxygenated blood leaves the left ventricle and passes through the aortic valve to the aorta)

2.systolic blood pressure X heart rate (RPP= max HR(bpm) X maxSBP(mmhg) )

9.ventricular repolarization (the T wave in ECG represents repolarization of the ventricular myocardium)

10.increases in proportion to exercise intensity.(the normal cardiac output at rest is 5ltrs/min.for a typical young person,the cardiac output might go up to about 20 ltr/min at the peak of the exercise).
