Which statement about an ECG is incorrect?
T wave: ventricles repolarize
QRS complex: ventricles depolarize
QRS complex: atria depolarize
P wave: atria depolarize
Which pathway represents the pulmonary circuit?
right ventricle → pulmonary veins → lungs → pulmonary arteries → left atrium
left ventricle → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → right atrium
left ventricle → pulmonary veins → lungs → pulmonary arteries → right atrium
right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium
Atrioventricular (AV) valves prevent backflow into the atria, and semilunar valves prevent backflow into the ventricles?
true
false
Semilunar valves include the following which prevent backflow into the ventricles.
pulmonary and aortic valves
tricuspid and mitral valves
The base of the heart is inferior and the apex of the heart is superior?
true
false
These terms all refer to the same value that permits blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventrical, except?
left atrioventricular valve (AV)
tricuspid valve
bicuspid valve
mitral valve

true
false
Which pathway represents the systemic circuit?
right ventricle → systemic arteries → body → systemic veins → left atrium
