Key Answers:

1.) A disease that can delay the pathway of electrical impulses that provides contraction (bundle
branch block)
2.) The natural pacemaker of the heart (sinoatrial node)
3.) It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body’s tissue (artery)
4.) Innermost layer of the heart (endocardium)
5.) A valve that opens when blood flows from the left ventricle to the aorta (aortic valve)
6.) Which wave covers the atrial repolarization? (QRS Complex)
7.) It can be naturally occurring or due to heart damage (Sinus Arrhytmia)
8.) Anything below 60bpm is known as _____ (Bradycardia)
9.) Upright round and follow every QRS Complex (T-Wave)
10.)This allows us to view the timeline for full ventricular depolarization and repolarization cycle (QT
Interval)
11.)Most blood enters the ventricle during ______. (atrial diastole)
12.)The cardiac cycle consists of a distinct relaxation and contraction phase. Which term is typically
used to refer ventricular contraction while no blood is being ejected?(isovolumic contraction)
13.)The first heart sound represents which portion of the cardiac cycle?(closing of the
atrioventricular valves)
14.)Ventricular relaxation immediately follows ______. (ventricular repolarization)
15.)Used to record both normal and abnormal sounds using specialized electronic stethoscopes.
(Phonocardiograms)
