The heart sound (lub-dup) are associated with the opening of the heart valves.
Which of the following are true of the cardiac output?
CO is the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in one minute.
CO is the product of heart rate and stroke volume.
CO is the amount of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each beat.
CO is the number of heart beats per minute.
Cardiac reserve is the difference between resting and maximal CO.
End Systolic Volume (ESV) is the amount of blood collected in a ventricle during diastole.
Which of these best describes preload?

Which of the following decrease heart contractability?
Acidosis
Temperature Extremes

What is the Atrial (Bainbridge) Reflex?
A sympathetic reflex initiated by increased blood in the atria.
A parasympathetic reflex initiated by increased blood in the ventricles.
A sympathetic reflex initiated by increased blood in the ventricles.
A parasympathetic reflex initiated by increased blood in the atria.
The hormone thyroxin decreases heart rate.
