About This Quiz

How well do you know about the heart chambers and the circulation of blood through the heart? Here, we have this quiz based on heart anatomy to check if you really know about your body. The human blood circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood that is circulated throughout the entire human body. Do you know this system very well? Let's check it out by playing the quiz below. All the best!

Heart Quiz: Anatomy And Circulation Of Blood - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    The movement of blood through the heart and body is called:

    • Blood flowing

    • Circulation

    • Ventriculation

    • Heart pumping

    Correct Answer
    A. Circulation
    Explanation
    The movement of blood through the heart and body is called circulation. This process involves the heart pumping oxygenated blood to the body's tissues and organs, and then receiving deoxygenated blood back to be re-oxygenated. Circulation is essential for delivering nutrients, hormones, and oxygen to the cells, as well as removing waste products and carbon dioxide. It is a continuous process that ensures the proper functioning of the body's systems.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The lower chambers of the heart are called the___________________.

    • Valves

    • Ventricles

    • Pulmonary

    • Atrium

    • Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Ventricles
    Explanation
    The lower chambers of the heart are called the ventricles. These chambers are responsible for pumping blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The ventricles have thicker walls compared to the upper chambers (atria) to withstand the higher pressure required for blood circulation.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The atriums are located below the ventricles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the atriums are actually located above the ventricles in the heart. The heart has four chambers, with the atria being the upper chambers and the ventricles being the lower chambers.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The upper chambers of the human heart are called the ___________________.

    • Valves

    • Ventricles

    • Pulmonary

    • Atrium

    • Artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Atrium
    Explanation
    The upper chambers of the human heart are called the atrium.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Pulmonary veins take unoxygenated blood away from the heart.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Pulmonary veins actually carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. The pulmonary artery is responsible for carrying unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Where does the blood travel after picking up oxygen? 

    • Kidney

    • Lungs

    • Heart

    • Right vein

    Correct Answer
    A. Heart
    Explanation
    After picking up oxygen, the blood travels to the heart. The heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body through a network of blood vessels called arteries. The oxygenated blood is then distributed to various organs and tissues, providing them with the necessary oxygen and nutrients for their proper functioning.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What part of the heart transports unoxygenated blood to the lungs?

    • Pulmonary artery

    • Left ventricle

    • Right ventricle

    • Pulmonary vein

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulmonary artery
    Explanation
    The pulmonary artery is the correct answer because it is the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Once in the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide, becoming oxygenated and ready to be transported back to the heart. The pulmonary artery is responsible for this crucial step in the circulatory system, ensuring that oxygen-depleted blood is properly oxygenated before it is pumped back to the rest of the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Oxygen rich blood flows from the lungs into what chamber?

    • Right atrium

    • Left atrium

    • Right ventricle

    • Left ventricle

    • Aorta

    Correct Answer
    A. Left atrium
    Explanation
    Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs into the left atrium. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and then contracts to pump the blood into the left ventricle, which then pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body through the aorta.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Carbon dioxide rich blood enters the heart through what chamber?

    • Right atrium

    • Left atrium

    • Right ventricle

    • Left ventricle

    • Aorta

    Correct Answer
    A. Right atrium
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the right atrium. The right atrium is responsible for receiving deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. It then pumps this blood into the right ventricle, which will eventually send it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left atrium, left ventricle, and aorta are involved in the circulation of oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body.
