The following are Conducting System of the Heart, Except?
- A.
Sinuatrial node
- B.
Sinuatrial bundle
- C.
Atrioventricular node
- D.
Atrioventricular bundle
Correct Answer
B. Sinuatrial bundleExplanation
The correct answer is Sinuatrial bundle. The conducting system of the heart is responsible for coordinating the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles. It includes the Sinuatrial node, which is often referred to as the pacemaker of the heart, as it initiates the electrical impulses that regulate the heart's rhythm. The Atrioventricular node is located between the atria and ventricles and helps to transmit the electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. The Atrioventricular bundle, also known as the Bundle of His, is a specialized bundle of fibers that conducts the electrical impulses from the Atrioventricular node to the ventricles. Therefore, the Sinuatrial bundle is not a part of the conducting system of the heart.Rate this question:

The valves found at the entrance to the pulmonary artery and the aorta are known as "semilunar"
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The valves found at the entrance to the pulmonary artery and the aorta are known as "semilunar" because they have half-moon shaped flaps. These valves prevent the backflow of blood from the arteries into the ventricles, ensuring that blood flows in one direction only. The semilunar valves open when the ventricles contract and close when the ventricles relax, allowing blood to be pumped out of the heart and preventing it from flowing back into the heart.Rate this question:

The Speed of conduction of the cardiac impulse through the atrioventricular node is about 0.11 seconds
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The speed of conduction of the cardiac impulse through the atrioventricular node is about 0.11 seconds. This means that it takes approximately 0.11 seconds for the electrical signal to travel from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles of the heart. This is an important aspect of the heart's electrical system as it allows for proper coordination and timing of the heart's contractions.Rate this question:

It describes all the activities of the heart through one complete heartbeat—that is, through one contraction and relaxation of both the atria and ventricles. A contraction event (of either the atria or ventricles) is referred to as systole, and a relaxation event is referred to as diastole
Correct Answer
Cardiac CycleExplanation
The given statement describes the Cardiac Cycle, which refers to all the activities of the heart during one complete heartbeat.

Correct Answer
B. Superior Vena CavaExplanation
The correct answer is the Superior Vena Cava. The Superior Vena Cava is formed by the union of the two brachiocephalic veins. It is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body back to the heart.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Azygous VeinExplanation
The azygous vein is often formed by the union of the right ascending lumbar vein and the right subcostal vein. This vein is a major tributary of the superior vena cava, which is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart. The inferior vena cava, on the other hand, carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart. The pulmonary vein, in contrast, carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Therefore, the correct answer is the azygous vein.Rate this question:

- C.
Azygos Vein
- D.
Pulmonary Vein
Correct Answer
C. Azygos VeinExplanation
The azygos vein is a major vein in the body that drains blood from the posterior abdominal wall and thoracic wall into the superior vena cava. It is formed by the union of the right ascending lumbar vein and the right subcostal vein. The azygos vein then ascends on the right side of the vertebral column, receiving blood from various veins along its course. It eventually arches over the root of the right lung to join the superior vena cava. Therefore, the azygos vein is the correct answer as it consists of superior and inferior hemiazygos veins.Rate this question:
