CRAT Exam 38 Questions with Verified Answers
Pericardium - CORRECT ANSWER Outer protective double-layered sac surrounding the heart.
Epicardium - CORRECT ANSWER Thin outermost layer of the heart, contains coronary arteries.
Myocardium - CORRECT ANSWER Middle muscular layer of the heart, contains electrical system.
Endocardium - CORRECT ANSWER Inner most layer of the heart, lines chambers and valves.
Blood flow through the heart - CORRECT ANSWER Venules --> Veins --> Superior/Inferior VC --> Rt atria --> Tricuspid Valve --> Rt ventricle --> Pulmonary valve --> Pulmonary Artery --> Lungs --> Pulmonary Veins --> Lt atria --> Bicuspid/Mitral valve --> Lt ventricle --> Aortic Valve --> Aorta --> Arteries --> Arterioles --> Capillaries --> Body
Deoxygenated blood(left side of heart) - CORRECT ANSWER Venules --> Veins --> Superior/Inferior VC --> Rt atria --> Tricuspid Valve --> Rt ventricle --> Pulmonary valve --> Pulmonary Artery
Oxygenated blood(right side of heart) - CORRECT ANSWER Pulmonary Veins --> Lt atria --> Bicuspid/Mitral valve --> Lt ventricle --> Aortic Valve --> Aorta --> Arteries --> Arterioles --> Capillaries
Atrioventricular Valves(diastole) - CORRECT ANSWER Valves between the atria and ventricles. Tricuspid, Bicuspid/Mitral. Regulates blood flow IN the heart.
Semilunar Valves(systole) - CORRECT ANSWER Pulmonary and Aortic valves separates Ventricles from corresponding artery. Regulates blood flow OUT of the heart.
sinoatrial node (SA node) - CORRECT ANSWER Primary pacemaker, 60-100bpm intrinsic rate
atrioventricular node (AV) node - CORRECT ANSWER 2nd pacemaker, 40-60bpm intrinsic rate
Bundle of His - CORRECT ANSWER normal connection between atria and ventricles
bundle branches - CORRECT ANSWER Branches off the Bundle of His that conduct impulses to the left and right ventricles
Purkinje fibers - CORRECT ANSWER conduction system terminates
Automaticity - CORRECT ANSWER The ability of the heart to generate and conduct electrical impulses on its own.
Excitability - CORRECT ANSWER ability of cardiac cell to respond to an impulse
Conductivity - CORRECT ANSWER The ability of cardiac cell to conduct/transmit an impulse.
Contractility - CORRECT ANSWER ability of cardiac cell to contract/pump in response to an electrical impulse.
Depolarization - CORRECT ANSWER contraction
Repolarization - CORRECT ANSWER relaxation
Waveform - CORRECT ANSWER P wave --> PR Interval --> QRS Complex --> J Joint --> ST Segment --> T wave
P wave - CORRECT ANSWER atrial depolarization
PR interval - CORRECT ANSWER Period of time from beginning of atrial depolarization to the beginning of ventricular depolarization. Delay of AV node to allow filling of ventricles. 0.12-0.20sec.
QRS complex - CORRECT ANSWER ventricular depolarization
J joint - CORRECT ANSWER the point where the QRS meets the ST segment.
ST segment - CORRECT ANSWER early ventricular repolarization
Vertical line on EKG - CORRECT ANSWER voltage
Horizontal line on EKG - CORRECT ANSWER time
T wave - CORRECT ANSWER ventricular repolarization
Small box on ECG - CORRECT ANSWER 1mm or 0.04sec. Vertically = 0.1mV
Large box on EKG - CORRECT ANSWER 5mm or 0.20sec. Vertically = 0.5mV
1500 method - CORRECT ANSWER Most accurate for use of regular rhythms. Count the number of small boxes between two R waves, them divide by 1500.
R-R Interval/300 method - CORRECT ANSWER Less accurate method, count number of LARGE boxes between R waves and divide by 300
300 method for counting rate - CORRECT ANSWER 1 = 300, 2 = 150, 3 = 100, 4 = 75, 5 = 60, 6 = 50, 7 = 43, 8 = 38, 9 = 33, 10 = 30
sinus rhythm - CORRECT ANSWER 60-100bpm. P wave = present/upright. Normal heartbeat triggered by the SA node.
Sinus Tachycardia - CORRECT ANSWER >100 bpm. P wave= present/upright
Sinus Bradycardia - CORRECT ANSWER <60 bpm. P wave= present/upright
Sinus Arrhythmia - CORRECT ANSWER 60-100bpm. P wave = present/upright.. IRREGULAR
