The volume of blood pumped by heart in one minute is called?

  1. Heart rate

  2. Systole

  3. Cardiac output

  4. Diastoles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cardiac output is the blood volume pumped in a minute by the core. It is equivalent to the rate of heart multiplied by the quantity of the stroke. So if there are 70 beats per minute and with each heart beat 70 ml of blood is drawn, the power production is 4900 ml / minute. This value is typical of an average resting adult, although during intense practice, cardiac production can achieve up to 30 liters / minute.

The first heart sound is semilunar valves

  1. Closure of the tricuspid and Biscuspid valves

  2. Closure of the tricuspid and biuspid valves

  3. Opening of the semilunar valves

  4. Opening of the eustachian valve
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The first heart sound which we hear is produced by the simultaneous closure of both the atrioventricular valves namely, the bicuspid (mitral) valve and the tricuspid valve.

It resembles the word "LUBB" and is produced due to the isometric contraction period and the earlier part of ejection period.

  1. Heart rate

  2. Systole

  3. Cardiac output

  4. Diastols
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Cardiac output is the blood volume pumped in a minute by the core. It is equivalent to the rate of heart multiplied by the quantity of the stroke. So if there are 70 beats per minute and with each heart beat 70 ml of blood is drawn, the power production is 4900 ml / minute. This value is typical of an average resting adult, although during intense practice, cardiac output can reach  upto 30 liters / minute.

So, the correct answer is 'Heart rate'

Multiple choice biology transportation in plants and circulation in animals heart beat cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle

The heart rate is increased by

  1. An increase in the activity of the sympathetic nerves that supply the heart

  2. A decrease in the activity of the parasympathetic (vagus) system

  3. An increase in the level of adrenalin in the circulation

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

A special neural centre in the medulla oblangata can moderate the cardiac function through autonomic nervous system (ANS). Neural signals through the sympathetic nerves (part of ANS) can increase the rate of heart beat, the strength of ventricular contraction and thereby the cardiac output. On the other hand, parasympathetic neural signals (another component of ANS) decrease the rate of heart beat, speed of conduction of action potential and thereby the cardiac output. Adrenal medullary hormones (adrenaline, noradrenaline) can also increase the cardiac output.

Heart rate is accelerated by

  1. Cranial nerves and acetylcholine

  2. Sympathetic nerves and acetycholine

  3. Cranial nerves and adrenalin

  4. Sympathetic nerves and epinephrine

D Correct answer
Explanation

Normal activities of the heart are regulated intrinsically, i.e., auto regulated by specialised muscles (nodal tissue), hence, the heart is called myogenic. A special neural centre in the medulla oblangata can moderate the cardiac function through autonomic nervous system (ANS). Neural signals through the sympathetic nerves (part of ANS) can increase the rate of heart beat, the strength of ventricular contraction and thereby the cardiac output. On the other hand, parasympathetic neural signals (another component of ANS) decrease the rate of heart beat, speed of conduction of action potential and thereby the cardiac output. Adrenal medullary hormones can also increase the cardiac output. Epinephrine / adrenaline increases the heart rate.

Which one of the following generates heart beat?

  1. Purkinje fibres

  2. Cardiac branch of vagus nerve

  3. SA node

  4. AV node
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Sino-atrial node (SAN) generates the maximum number of action potentials per minute (70-75/min) and therefore, it sets the pace of the activities of the heart. Hence, it is called as the cardiac pacemaker.

The sound of 'lubb' is produced during closure of

  1. Bicuspid valve

  2. Tricuspid valve

  3. Semilunar valves

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Heart sounds are the noises generated by the beating heart and the resultant flow of blood through it. 
In healthy adults, there are two normal heart sounds often described as a 'lubb' and a 'dubb' (or 'dupp'), that occur in sequence with each heartbeat. 
These are the first heart sound and second heart sound, produced by the closing of the AV (atrio ventricular) valves and semilunar valves, respectively.

Typical 'Iubb'-'dupp' sounds of the heart are due to

  1. Closing of bicuspid and tricuspid valves

  2. Closing of semilunar valves

  3. Blood under pressure through aorta

  4. Closure of bicuspid-tricuspid valves, followed by semilunar valves
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

During each cardiac cycle two prominent sounds are produced, which can be easily heard through a stethoscope. The first heart sound (lubb) is associated with the closure of the tricuspid and bicuspid valves, whereas the second heart sound (dubb/dupp) is associated with the closure of the semilunar valves.

Impulse of heart beat originates from

  1. SA node

  2. AV node

  3. Vagus nerve

  4. Cardiac nerve
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The sino-atrial node (SAN) can generate the maximum number of action potentials, i.e., 70-75 /min. It is responsible for initiating and maintaining the rhythmic contractile activity of the heart. Therefore, it is called as the natural cardiac pacemaker.

Identify the correct sequence of events in a cardiac cycle.

  1. Diastole, atrial systole, ventricular diastole, ventricular systole.

  2. Atrial systole, ventricular systole, atrial diastole, ventricular diastole.

  3. ventricular systole, ventricular diastole, diastole, atrial systole.

  4. Ventricular diastole,diastole, ventricular systole, atrial systole.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The cardiac cycle starts with atrial systole. It represents the contraction of the myocardium of the left and right atria by which blood is forced into the ventricles. It progresses to ventricular systole, in which the ventricles contract and blood forced  into the aorta and pulmonary artery. After that atrial diastole occurs which means the relaxation of atria.The cardiac cycle ends with ventricular diastole in which ventricles are relaxing and also filling with blood in preparation of the next cycle.
