Cardiovascular Disease Quiz Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following electrocardiogram(EKG) waves represents atrial depolarization?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The P wave on an ECG signifies atrial depolarization, initiating atrial contraction and subsequent ventricular filling.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following vessels do not have the ability to constrict and dilate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Capillaries lack smooth muscle, so they cannot constrict or dilate like arteries, arterioles, or veins.

Question 5 of 5
The period between the closure of the semilunar valve and the opening of the atrioventricular valves is called:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This period is ventricular relaxation (diastole), where semilunar valves close (end of systole) and atrioventricular valves open to allow passive filling, though the term here aligns with relaxation before filling begins.
