Match the following:
-Death of heart muscle cells.
A)Ectopic focus
B)Quiescent period
C)Fibrillation
D)Ischemia
E)Infarction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infarction is the death of heart muscle cells caused by a prolonged lack of blood flow, usually due to a blockage in a coronary artery.

Answer: D
 Ischemia refers to insufficient blood flow and oxygen to tissues, which can lead to tissue damage or cell death. In the case of the heart, ischemia can cause chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Answer: C
 Fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that can occur in the atria (atrial fibrillation) or ventricles (ventricular fibrillation). It is characterized by rapid, chaotic electrical activity that can lead to ineffective pumping of blood and potentially life-threatening complications.

Note: Ectopic focus refers to an area of the heart outside the normal pacemaker cells that generates its own electrical impulses, and quiescent period is a term used to describe the period between heart contractions where the muscle is relaxed. Neither of these terms is directly related to the death of heart muscle cells.
