Chapter 44, Problem 3TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system that transports the blood to all parts of the body. The repetitive cycle of contraction and relaxation of the heart is termed as the cardiac cycle. The complete cycle of one heartbeat forms a cardiac cycle. The cardiac cycle is represented as “number of heartbeats in one minute”.

Students have asked these similar questions
How would the left ventricle of a patient who had had high blood pressure for many years differ from the left ventricle of a normal heart?
A
it would have a larger volume of muscle
B
it would have a smaller volume of muscle
C
it would be smaller than the right ventricle
D
chronic high blood pressure would weaken the heart valves but would have no anatomical effects on the walls of the ventricles
Assuming that your subject’s heart rate increased, this means that each cardiac cycle must be completed in a shorter period of time. This could be accomplished by shortening systole, diastole, or both. Which phase of the cardiac cycle shortened the most?
Sketch the heart and draw all the coronary vessels in their correct locations. (Alternatively, you could locate these vessels on a realistic diagram of the heart.)
