What are the four chambers of the heart?
Explanation
The four chambers of the heart are the right atria, left atria, right ventricle, and left ventricle. The atria are the upper chambers of the heart, responsible for receiving blood from the veins. The right atria receives deoxygenated blood from the body, while the left atria receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. The ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart, responsible for pumping blood out of the heart. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.Rate this question:

- A.
Right atria
- B.
Left atria
- C.
Right Ventricle
- D.
Left Ventricle
Correct Answer
A. Right atriaExplanation
The right atria is the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the superior and inferior vena cavae. The vena cavae are large veins that carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Once the blood enters the right atria, it is then pumped into the right ventricle and eventually sent to the lungs for oxygenation. Therefore, the correct answer is right atria.Rate this question:

Which valve is located between the right artia and the right ventricle?
- A.
Tricuspid
- B.
Bicuspid
- C.
Aortic
- D.
Pulmonary
Correct Answer
A. TricuspidExplanation
The tricuspid valve is located between the right atria and the right ventricle. It is called tricuspid because it consists of three flaps or cusps. This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atria during the contraction of the heart. When the right atria contracts, the tricuspid valve opens, allowing blood to flow into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts, the tricuspid valve closes, preventing blood from flowing back into the right atria.Rate this question:

What is the purpose of the valve?
Correct Answer
prevent back flow of bloodExplanation
The purpose of the valve is to prevent the backflow of blood. Valves are present in various parts of the circulatory system, such as the heart and veins, and they ensure that blood flows in one direction. In the case of preventing backflow, the valve acts as a barrier that closes when the blood tries to flow in the wrong direction, thus maintaining the proper flow of blood through the circulatory system.Rate this question:

What vessel takes blood from the heart to the lungs?
- A.
Arteries
- B.
Veins
Correct Answer
A. ArteriesExplanation
Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. However, in the case of the question, it is incorrect to say that arteries take blood from the heart to the lungs. The correct answer should be veins, as pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.Rate this question:

What vessel takes blood from the lungs to the heart?
- A.
Arteries
- B.
Veins
Correct Answer
B. VeinsExplanation
Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood from the lungs back to the heart. After blood has been oxygenated in the lungs, it is collected by the pulmonary veins and transported back to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body. Arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is veins.Rate this question:
-
- 13.
Where are veins oxygenated?
Correct Answer
capillary beds of lungsExplanation
Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Oxygenation of blood occurs in the capillary beds of the lungs. In the lungs, deoxygenated blood from the veins is exposed to oxygen in the air sacs called alveoli. Oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the capillaries and binds to red blood cells, while carbon dioxide, a waste product, is released from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. Therefore, the capillary beds of the lungs are where veins become oxygenated.Rate this question:

What is the smallest vessel?
- A.
Capillaries
- B.
Veins
- C.
Arteries
Correct Answer
A. CapillariesExplanation
Capillaries are the smallest vessels in the body. They are tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. Capillaries play a crucial role in the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. Due to their small size, capillaries have a large surface area, allowing for efficient exchange of substances. Veins and arteries are larger vessels that carry blood to and from capillaries, but they are not the smallest vessels in the body.Rate this question:

What is opposition of flow reffered to as?
- A.
Peripheral resistance
- B.
Cardiac output
- C.
Blood valve
Correct Answer
A. PeripHeral resistanceExplanation
Peripheral resistance refers to the opposition of flow in the blood vessels, which is the correct answer in this case. It represents the resistance that the blood encounters as it flows through the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. This resistance is primarily determined by the diameter of the blood vessels, the viscosity of the blood, and the length of the vessels. When peripheral resistance is high, it can lead to increased blood pressure and strain on the heart. Therefore, peripheral resistance plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and maintaining cardiovascular health.Rate this question:

What prevents backflow into the left artrium
- A.
Mitral Valve
- B.
Tricuspid Valve
- C.
Aortic Valve
- D.
Pulmonary Valve
Correct Answer
A. Mitral ValveExplanation
The mitral valve prevents backflow into the left atrium. It is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. When the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the left atrium. This ensures that blood flows in one direction, from the left atrium to the left ventricle, and then out to the rest of the body.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
A blood hemorrhage would result in a
- A.
Lower BP
- B.
Higher BP
- C.
No change
Correct Answer
A. Lower BPExplanation
A blood hemorrhage would result in a lower blood pressure because the loss of blood volume leads to a decrease in the overall pressure within the circulatory system. When blood is lost, there is less fluid available to fill the blood vessels, causing a drop in blood pressure. This can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, and fainting.Rate this question:
-
- 23.
The mitral valve has chordae tendonae but the tricupsid does not
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because both the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve have chordae tendineae. Chordae tendineae are fibrous cords that connect the valve leaflets to the papillary muscles in the heart. They help to prevent the valve leaflets from prolapsing or inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction. Therefore, both the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve rely on chordae tendineae for proper functioning.Rate this question:

Cardiac output is _____ to heart rate.
- A.
Directly related, as one increases so does the other
- B.
Indirectly related, as one increases one decreases
Correct Answer
A. Directly related, as one increases so does the otherExplanation
Cardiac output is directly related to heart rate, meaning that as heart rate increases, so does cardiac output. This is because cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute, and heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute. Therefore, when heart rate increases, the heart pumps more blood per minute, resulting in an increase in cardiac output.Rate this question:

SIte where blood volume is the greatest
- A.
Artioles
- B.
Capillaries
- C.
Large Veins
- D.
Large Arteries
Correct Answer
C. Large VeinsExplanation
Large veins have the greatest blood volume because they receive blood from capillaries and smaller veins and transport it back to the heart. The walls of large veins are thin and elastic, allowing them to accommodate a large volume of blood. In contrast, arteries carry blood away from the heart, and while they may have a high blood pressure, their volume is lower than that of large veins. Capillaries, on the other hand, are the smallest blood vessels and have a small volume compared to large veins. Therefore, large veins have the greatest blood volume.Rate this question:

What is not one of the main factors affecting blood pressure?
- A.
Cardiac output
- B.
Peripheral resistance
- C.
Emotional state
- D.
Blood Volume
Correct Answer
C. Emotional stateExplanation
Emotional state is not one of the main factors affecting blood pressure. Blood pressure is primarily influenced by factors such as cardiac output, peripheral resistance, and blood volume. Cardiac output refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute, while peripheral resistance refers to the resistance encountered by blood flow in the blood vessels. Blood volume refers to the total amount of blood in the body. Although emotional state can temporarily affect blood pressure, it is not considered one of the main factors.Rate this question:
