- 8.A softball player is found to have a resting cardiac output of 5.0 liters per minute and a heart rate of 50 beats per minute. What is her stroke volume?
- A.
10 mL
- B.
100 mL
- C.
1000 mL
- D.
250 mL
- E.
The information given is insufficient to calculate stroke volume.
- 9.Which of the following are true? 1. ANS regulation of heart rate originates in the cardiovascular center of the medulla obologata 2. Proprioceptor input is a major stimulus that accounts for the rapid rise in the heart rate at the onset of physical activity 3. The vagus nerves release norepinephrine, causing the heart rate to increase 4. Hormones from the adrenal medulla and the thyroid gland can increase the heart rate 5. Hypothermia increases the heart rate

- 10.Which of the following are true concerning action potentials and contraction in the myocardium? 1. The refractory period in a cardiac muscle fiber is very brief 2. the binding of Ca2+ to troponin allos the interaction of actin and myosin filaments, resulting in contraction 3. Repolarization occurs when the voltage-gated K+ channels open and calcium channels are closing 4. opening of voltage-gated fast Na+ channels results in depolarization 5. Opening of voltage-gated slow Ca2+ channels results in a period of maintained depolarization, known as the plateau
