Final Jeopardy
Coverings, Layers & Chambers : 10
The inner lining of the heart?
Endocardium
Coverings, Layers & Chambers : 20
The heart muscle.
Myocardium
Coverings, Layers & Chambers :
30
Serous layer covering the heart
muscle.
Epicardium
10 pt. BONUS: Another name for this
layer.
Visceral layer
Coverings, Layers & Chambers :
40
The outermost layer of the serous
pericardium.
Parietal Layer
Coverings, Layers & Chambers :
50
Which layer of the heart actually
contracts?
Myocardium
Pathway of Blood: 10
True or False:
The left side of the heart pumps
the same volume as the right.
TRUE
Pathway of Blood: 20
Why is the left ventricular wall
thicker than the right wall of
the heart?
L.V. pumps blood with greater
pressure.
Pathway of Blood: 30
Blood flows where after being
pumped out of the right
ventricle?
Lungs
Pathway of Blood: 40
Vessels that return blood to the
heart.
Pulmonary veins
Pathway of Blood : 50
Cardiac veins return blood to
this location before the blood
enters the right atrium.
Coronary Sinus
Heart Valves: 10
Prevents backflow into the left
ventricle
Aortic valve
Heart Valves: 20
Prevents backflow into the left
atrium
Mitral (bicuspid) vlave
Heart Valves: 30
TRUE or FALSE:
The bicuspid valve has chordae
tendinae but the tricuspid valve
does not.
FALSE – they both have
chordae tendinae
Heart Valves: 40
TRUE or FALSE:
Trabeculae carne are found in
the ventricles and not in the
atria.
TRUE
Heart Valves: 50
The AV valves are supported by
these structures so they do not
blow back up into the atria
during ventricular contraction.
Chordae tendineae
Properties of Cardiac Muscle: 10
Compare Skeletal & Heart Muscle:
Answer: Skeletal Muscle only,
Cardiac Muscle only, or Both
Has Striations
Both
Properties of Cardiac Muscle: 20
Compare Skeletal & Heart Muscle:
Answer: Skeletal Muscle only,
Cardiac Muscle only, or Both
Contains self-excitable cells
Cardiac Muscle only
Properties of Cardiac Muscle: 30
Why is the heart a functional
syncytium?
The heart contracts as a unit
(all or none) or it doesn’t
contract at all.
Properties of Cardiac Muscle : 40
What cell membrane junction
allows the myocardium to
function as a functional
syncytium?
Gap junctions
Properties of Cardiac Muscle: 50
TRUE or FALSE:
Cardiac muscle has more
mitochondria and depends less
on a continual supply of
oxygen than does skeletal
muscle.
FALSE – O2 is essential
RANDOM! : 10
Where does the myocardium
receive its blood supply from?
Coronary arteries
RANDOM! : 20
What structure
is labeled
with the star?
Right Atrium
RANDOM! : 30
What valve is between the left
atrium and the left ventricle?
Mitral (bicuspid) valve
RANDOM! : 40
What is the chamber that
receives blood from the
superior and inferior vena
cava?
Right atrium
RANDOM! : 50
What structures
are labeled in
the picture?
Chordae
tendinae
