A man, en route to the hospital emergency room by ambulance, is in fibrillation. What is his cardiac output likely to be? He arrives at the emergency entrance DOA (dead on arrival). His autopsy reveals a blockage of the posterior interventricular artery. What is the cause of death?

A patient of yours suffered an ischemic stroke in the most dorsal region of the right precentral gyrus. Given their history of atrial fibrillation, which is a condition that often results in thrombus (blood clots) formation in the heart, it is believed that stroke was the result of a clot breaking away and making its way to the brain (i.e., an embolism). Indicate route the embolus needed to travel after entering the aorta in order to cause a stroke in this area: _______________ -> __________________ -> __________________ -> ___________________

Arteries usually carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. However, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood. If a defect occurs in this artery, then the possible effect will be on the supply of deoxygenated blood to the . Similarly, a defect in pulmonary veins may lead to a block in the supply of oxygenated blood to the .
