Heart Quiz: Anatomy And Circulation Of Blood
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!
- 1.
The human heart has _________________chambers.
- A.
5
- B.
4
- C.
6
- D.
2
Correct Answer
B. 4Explanation
The human heart has four chambers. The heart is divided into two sides, the left side and the right side. Each side has two chambers, an upper chamber called the atrium and a lower chamber called the ventricle. The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body, while the right side receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs to be oxygenated. This division into four chambers allows for efficient separation and flow of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.Rate this question:

The upper chambers of the human heart are called the ___________________.
- A.
Valves
- B.
Ventricles
- C.
Pulmonary
- D.
Atrium
- E.
Artery
Correct Answer
D. AtriumExplanation
The upper chambers of the human heart are called the atrium.Rate this question:

The lower chambers of the heart are called the___________________.
- A.
Valves
- B.
Ventricles
- C.
Pulmonary
- D.
Atrium
- E.
Artery
Correct Answer
B. VentriclesExplanation
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:

Oxygen rich blood flows from the lungs into what chamber?
- A.
Right atrium
- B.
Left atrium
- C.
Right ventricle
- D.
Left ventricle
- E.
Aorta
Correct Answer
B. Left atriumExplanation
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:

Carbon dioxide rich blood enters the heart through what chamber?
- A.
Right atrium
- B.
Left atrium
- C.
Right ventricle
- D.
Left ventricle
- E.
Aorta
Correct Answer
A. Right atriumExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Where does the blood travel after picking up oxygen?
- A.
Kidney
- B.
Lungs
- C.
Heart
- D.
Right vein
Correct Answer
C. HeartExplanation
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:

- 7.
What part of the heart transports unoxygenated blood to the lungs?
- A.
Pulmonary artery
- B.
Left ventricle
- C.
Right ventricle
- D.
Pulmonary vein
Correct Answer
A. Pulmonary arteryExplanation
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:

The movement of blood through the heart and body is called:
- A.
Blood flowing
- B.
Circulation
- C.
Ventriculation
- D.
Heart pumping
Correct Answer
B. CirculationExplanation
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:

Pulmonary veins take unoxygenated blood away from the heart.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
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:
-
- 10.
The atriums are located below the ventricles.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
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:
