This is a quiz over the heart, arteries and veins in the circulatory system of the dogfsh shark.
- 1.
What is the function of the sinus venosus?
- A.
Forces blood from ventricle to the ventral aorta and then to the gills
- B.
Provide blood from the body back to the cardinal sinus
- C.
Receives unoxygenated blood from the body
- D.
Receives unoxygenated blood and pumps it into the ventricle
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. Receives unoxygenated blood from the bodyExplanation
The sinus venosus is a small chamber in the heart of certain animals, such as fish and amphibians. Its main function is to receive unoxygenated blood from the body. This blood is then pumped into the ventricle, which will eventually send it to the gills for oxygenation. Therefore, the correct answer is that the sinus venosus receives unoxygenated blood from the body.Rate this question:

- 11.
The renal portal system takes the blood from the caudal vein in the tail to the kidneys via the two ____________.
Correct Answer
renal portal veins, renal portal veinExplanation
The renal portal system is responsible for carrying blood from the caudal vein in the tail to the kidneys. This is accomplished through the use of two renal portal veins and one renal portal vein. The presence of multiple veins allows for efficient blood flow and ensures that an adequate amount of blood reaches the kidneys for filtration and waste removal.Rate this question:
- 12.
The posterior cardinal veins drain into ___________.
Correct Answer
posterior cardinal sinuses, posterior cardinal sinusExplanation
The correct answer is "posterior cardinal sinuses, posterior cardinal sinus." The posterior cardinal veins refer to a pair of embryonic veins that drain blood from the posterior part of the embryo. These veins ultimately connect to the posterior cardinal sinuses, which are large venous channels located on either side of the embryo. Therefore, the posterior cardinal veins drain into the posterior cardinal sinuses or posterior cardinal sinus.Rate this question:
- 13.

-
- 16.
The two coelomic cavities are separated by a _________________.
Correct Answer
transverse septumExplanation
The two coelomic cavities in the body are separated by a transverse septum. This structure acts as a partition, dividing the coelomic cavities into two separate compartments. The transverse septum helps to maintain the organization and separation of different organs and structures within the body. It ensures that the organs in one coelomic cavity do not interfere or affect the organs in the other cavity.Rate this question:

- B.
Coeliac artery
- C.
Hyoidean artery
- D.
Internal carotid artery
- E.

The ____________ artery joins the collector loops to the paired dorsal aortae.
Correct Answer
hyoideanExplanation
The hyoidean artery is the correct answer because it is the artery that connects the collector loops to the paired dorsal aortae. The collector loops are responsible for collecting deoxygenated blood from the gills, while the dorsal aortae are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Therefore, the hyoidean artery plays a crucial role in the circulation of blood in this specific context.Rate this question:
- 33.
The _________________ joins to form the dorsal aorta.
Correct Answer
paired dorsal aortaeExplanation
The paired dorsal aortae are the structures that join together to form the dorsal aorta. The term "paired" indicates that there are two of these structures, one on each side of the body. The dorsal aortae are major blood vessels that run along the back of the body and supply oxygenated blood to various organs and tissues.Rate this question:

- D.
None of the above
- E.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Supplies blood to the afferent branchial arteriesExplanation
The ventral aorta is responsible for supplying blood to the afferent branchial arteries. This means that it carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the gills, where oxygen exchange occurs. Therefore, the correct answer is "supplies blood to the afferent branchial arteries".Rate this question:
-
- 37.
What artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the gills?
