Subject : health-sciences
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. no change in PR interval followed by dropped beat






2. Weak pulses - notching of the ribs on xray - HTN in upper extremeties and weak peripheral pulses

7. What does mitral prolapse predeispose to?






8. In terms of starling forces - why does nephrotic syndrome or liver failure cause edems

15. When does extracellular calcium enter the cardiac muscle cells during contraction?






16. segmental thrombosing vasculitis of small and medium vessels in smokers with intermittent claudication - superficial nodular phlebitis - raynaud's - gangrene and severe pain - autoamputation of digits is possible
