1. Which of these answers are correct
The first heart sound, "lubb," is caused by the ________.
closing of the atrioventricular valves |
closing of the semilunar valves |
regurgitation of the atrioventricular valves |
blood flowing into the ventricles |
2. Choose the right answer:
The plateau phase of the ventricular action potential is caused by _______.
slow K+ channels opening |
fast Na+ channels opening |
fast voltage-gated Ca2+ channels opening |
slow voltage-gated Ca2+ channels opening |
3.. How is heart rate controlled?
Parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the ANS control heart rate. |
Heart rate is controlled through the cardiac plexus. |
Dual innervation controls the heart rate. |
All the listed answers are correct. |
1.Correct answer is option A - closure of atrioventricular valves.
Explanation :
First heart sound - Lubb is due to closure of atrioventricular valves.
Second heart sound - Dubb is due to closure of semilunar valves.
2.Right option is - opening of voltage gated slow calcium channels
Expalnation :
Plateau phase is due to opening of voltage gated slow calcium channels.
Depolarisation phase is due to opening of voltage gated fast sodium channels
Repolarisation is due to opening of voltage gated potassium channels and closing of calcium channels
3.Right option is - all the above
Expalnation :
All options are indicating same thing - Heart rate is controlled by sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of ANS.
Dual nerve supply indicates - sympathetic and parasympathetic supply
Cardiac plexus -plexus of nerves seen at the base of heart. They are branches of parasympathetic and synthetic system.
Sympathetic system increase heart rate and parasympathetic system decrease heart rate.
