Does an embryo have a heartbeat?
- AV-node
- SA-node
- Purkinje fibre
- Atrium
- Only the auricles will contract rhythmically
- The cardiac muscles do not contract in a coordinated manner rhythmically.
- Only ventricles contract rhythmically.
- Cardiac muscles will contract in a coordinated manner.
Heart beats are accelerated by the
Cranial nerves
Stomach peristalsis
Number of RBCs
Sympathetic nerves
- generates action potential which causes the atria to contract
- conducts the action potential and helps in the contraction of ventricles
- regulates the rhythm of heart rate
- changes the duration of contraction between the atria and ventricles
- no change in the negative charge in the conduction cells of the heart
- decrease in the negative charge in the conduction cells of the heart
- increase in the negative charge in the conduction cells of the heart
- none of these
The conduction mechanism consists of three stages. Which of the following is the correct order of events during this process?
atrial depolarization → ventricular depolarization → atrial and ventricular repolarization
ventricular repolarization → atrial depolarization → atrial and ventricular repolarization
atrial and ventricular repolarization → ventricular depolarization → atrial depolarization
ventricular repolarization→ atrial depolarization→ atrial and ventricular depolarization
Where do the bundle branches originate from?
- Peak P- Initiation of left atrial contraction only
- Peak P and peak R together - Systolic and diastolic blood pressures
