Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 7RQ
In the heart, which of the following apply? (1) Action potentials are conducted from cell to cell across the myocardium via gap junctions, (2) the SA node sets the pace for the heart as a whole, (3) spontaneous depolarization of cardiac cells can occur in the absence of nerve stimulation, (4) cardiac muscle can continue to contract for long periods in the absence of oxygen. (a) all of the above, (b) 1, 3, 4, (c) 1, 2, 3, (d) 2, 3.

The sequence of contraction of the heart chambers is (a) random, (b) left chambers followed by right chambers, (c) both atria followed by both ventricles, (d) right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
Increased contractility of the heart results in all of the following EXCEPT
(A) increased stroke volume
(B) increased force of contraction
(C) increased end-systolic volume
(D) increased venous return
Cardiac output cannot increase indefinitely because (a) available filling time becomes shorter as the heart rate increases. (b) the cardiac center adjusts the heart rate. (c) the rate of spontaneous depolarization decreases. (d) the ion concentrations surrounding pacemaker plasma membranes decrease.
