The normal pacemaker of the human heart, sinoatrial node, is derived from the more primitive:

  • ventricle

  • bundle of His

  • sinus venosus

Amongst the following, a molecule that would lead to coagulation of the blood would be:

  • prostacyclin
  • tissue factor or thromboplastin
  • plasmin
  • tissue plasminogen activator

During a cardiac cycle:

  • About 70 ml of blood is pumped by the two ventricles
  • The left atrium and the left ventricle contract simultaneously
  • More blood is pumped into the systemic than in pulmonary circulation
  • The atria contract prior to the ventricles

Erythroblastosis fetalis can be prevented during a second pregnancy in a Rh negative mother who is likely to carry a Rh positive fetus by:

  • Administering anti – Rh antibodies to the mother just before the delivery of the second child

  • Administering Rh antigen to the mother just after the delivery of the first child

  • Administering Rh antigen to the mother just before the delivery of the second child

  • Administering anti – Rh antibodies to the mother just after the delivery of the first child

Which of the following statements is not correct about
ECG?

systole.

  • P wave represents atrial depolarisation.

  • QRS wave initiates ventricular contraction.

  • The end of T wave marks the end of ventricular

  • Q wave marks the beginning of atrial systole.

Haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) may occur in the featus of a second pregnancy if

  • The mother is Rh+ and the baby is Rh-

  • The mother is Rh+ and the baby is Rh+

  • The mother is Rh- and the baby is Rh-

  • The mother is Rh- and the baby is Rh+

Which type of white blood cells are concerned with the release of histamine and the natural anticoagulant heparin?

  • Neutrophils
  • Basophils
  • Eosinophils
  • Monocytes

Frogs differ from humans in possessing

  • paired cerebral hemispheres
  • hepatic portal system
  • nucleated red blood cells
  • thyroid as well as parathyroid

All the components of the nodal tissue are autoexcitable. Why does the SA node act as the normal pacemaker ?

  •  SA node has the lowest rate of depolarisation

  •  SA node is the only component to generate the threshold potential.

  • Only SA node can convey the action potential to the other

  •  SA node has the highest rate of depolarisation.

A specialised nodal tissue embedded in the lower corner of the right atrium, close to Atrio-ventricular septum, delays the spreading of impulses to heart apex for about 0.1 sec.

This delay allows -

  •  blood to enter aorta.

  •  the ventricles to empty completely.

  •  blood to enter pulmonary arteries.

  •  the atria to empty completely.

The QRS complex in a standard ECG represents:

  •   Depolarisation of auricles

  •   Depolarisation of ventricles

  •   Reploarisation of ventricles

  •   Repolarisation of auricles

Which of the following conditions cause erythroblastosis fetal?

  • Mother Rh+ve and fetus Rh-ve

  • Mother Rh-ve and fetus Rh+ve

  • Both mother and fetus Rh-ve

  • Both mother and fetus Rh+ve

The decrease in the rate of heartbeat, speed of conduction of action potential and thereby the cardiac output is under the control of

  •   Neural signals through the sympathetic nerves

  •   Neural signals through the parasympathetic nerves

  •   Adrenaline

  •   ANS

Given below is the ECG of a normal human. Which of its components is correctly interpreted below?

  •   Peak P and Peak R together   -   Systolic and diastolic blood pressure

  •   Peak P       -       Initiation of left atrial contraction only

Atrial systole

 

  •   Increases the flow of blood into the ventricles by 70 percent
