During a cardiac cycle:
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 aboutECG?
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-

Which type of white blood cells are concerned with the release of histamine and the natural anticoagulant heparin?
Frogs differ from humans in possessing
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 these statements are true?
a, c
b, d
c, d
a, b
Atrial systole
Increases the flow of blood into the ventricles by 70 percent

Coincides with ventricular systole
