Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium is the electrolyte very important in cardiac muscle contraction.

Answer: F
 Myocardial ischemia is the condition where the heart muscle doesn't get enough blood flow and oxygen, which can cause chest pain and ultimately heart attack.

Answer: H
 Baroreceptors are sensory receptors that monitor changes in blood pressure and can initiate reflexes to regulate blood pressure.

Answer: A
 Acute coronary syndromes refer to a range of conditions where there is a sudden reduction or blockage of blood flow to the heart, including heart attack and unstable angina.

Answer: C
 Tamponade occurs when fluid accumulates in the space around the heart, putting pressure on the heart and interfering with its ability to pump blood effectively.

Answer: G
 Venous return refers to the flow of blood from the body's veins back to the heart.

Answer: D
 Chemoreceptors are sensors that detect changes in chemical concentrations, such as oxygen or carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

Answer: E
 The mediastinum is the area in the chest that contains the heart and other vital organs and structures, including the thymus gland, esophagus, and major blood vessels.
