If the membranes of the cardiac muscle cells in the SA node become more permeable to potassium ions, A. the heart rate will decrease B. the heart rate will increase C. the membrane will depolarize D. the stroke volume will increase E. the intracellular concentration of potassium ions will increase QUESTION 6 Excitation-contraction coupling in the heart differs from E-C coupling in skeletal muscle in that A. in cardiac cells there is a delay in the uptake of Ca2+ into the SR during depolarization B. in cardiac cells there is no lag between phase 0 depolarization and peak contractile activity C. in the heart, ryanodine receptors are not directly coupled to the T-tubule, being triggered instead by Ca2+ entry D. in the heart, the contractile cells have more than one motor unit per cell QUESTION 7 Pick the item on the right that best describes the blood vessels listed. Use each option only once. A. Venule - where white blood cells leave the circulation and enter the tissue B. Vein - large capacity to expand when intravascular capillary hydrostatic pressure rises C. Arteriole - principal site of molecular diffusion between blood and interstitium D. Artery - the primary controller of blood flow to tissues E. Its elastic recoil maintains blood flow during diastole QUESTION 8 A certain drug decreases heart rate by producing hyperpolarization in the pacemaker cells of the heart. This drug probably binds to A. beta receptors B. alpha adrenergic receptors C. gamma receptors
