  • 2. 

    This structure divides the heart into a right and left side.

    • Right Atrium

    • Pulmonary Trunk

    • Interventricular Septum

    • Left Atrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Interventricular Septum
    Explanation
    The interventricular septum is a structure that divides the heart into a right and left side. It separates the two ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. This division is important for maintaining the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and ensuring efficient blood flow throughout the body. The interventricular septum also plays a role in the contraction and pumping action of the heart, as it helps to coordinate the timing and direction of the ventricular contractions.

  • 4. 

    Systemic Circulation involves blood flow into tissues and body organs from the aorta.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and organs via the aorta. This blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removes waste products. Therefore, it is correct to say that systemic circulation involves blood flow into tissues and body organs from the aorta.

    Structure "A" is the sinoatrial node. - ProProfs

    Structure "A" is the sinoatrial node.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the given structure "A" is identified as the sinoatrial node. The sinoatrial node, also known as the SA node, is a specialized group of cells located in the right atrium of the heart. It is responsible for initiating the electrical impulses that regulate the heart's rhythm and coordinate the contraction of the atria. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Identify artery C (no need to put artery following it's name): - ProProfs

    Identify artery C (no need to put artery following it's name):

    Correct Answer
    Femoral
    femoral
  • 7. 
    "A" represents the external jugular vein. - ProProfs

    "A" represents the external jugular vein.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    "A" represents the external jugular vein. This means that the statement is true. The external jugular vein is a major vein located in the neck that drains blood from the head, face, and neck and carries it back to the heart.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 
    Identify vein E (no need to put vein following it's name): - ProProfs

    Identify vein E (no need to put vein following it's name):

    Correct Answer
    Renal
    renal
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "renal, renal." This suggests that vein E is associated with the kidneys. The repetition of the word "renal" emphasizes the connection to the kidneys, indicating that vein E is specifically related to the renal system.

  • 9. 
    Identify B: - ProProfs

    Identify B:

    Correct Answer
    Right Ventricle
    Right ventricle
    right ventricle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Right Ventricle, Right ventricle, right ventricle". The question is asking to identify B, and the options provided are different variations of "right ventricle".

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of these seperates the right atrium from the right ventricle?

    • Bicuspid Valve

    • Tricuspid Valve

    • Pulmonary Valve

    • Aortic Valve

    Correct Answer
    A. Tricuspid Valve
    Explanation
    The tricuspid valve is the correct answer because it separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. This valve consists of three flaps or cusps that open and close to allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle and prevent backflow. It ensures that blood flows in the correct direction, from the atrium to the ventricle, and prevents any leakage or regurgitation.

  • 11. 
    "A" represents the superficial temporal artery. - ProProfs

    "A" represents the superficial temporal artery.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "A represents the superficial temporal artery" is true. The superficial temporal artery is a major blood vessel that runs in front of the ear and supplies blood to the scalp and face. It is commonly used in medical procedures such as temporal artery biopsy or superficial temporal artery flap surgery. Therefore, "A" accurately represents the superficial temporal artery.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 
    Identify C: - ProProfs

    Identify C:

    Correct Answer
    Aortic Valve
    Aortic valve
    aortic valve
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aortic valve" because it is the term used to describe the valve that separates the left ventricle of the heart from the aorta. It is written in different forms (capitalized, lowercase, and mixed case) to account for different conventions of capitalization.

  • 13. 
    "B" represents the radial artery. - ProProfs

    "B" represents the radial artery.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "B represents the radial artery" is false. The radial artery is typically represented by the letter "R" or "RA" in medical diagrams or illustrations. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which of these completes the following sequence: Left pulmonary arteries>>____________________>>Bicuspid valve

    • Right Atrium

    • Right Ventricle

    • Left Atrium

    • Left Ventricle

    Correct Answer
    A. Left Atrium
    Explanation
    The given sequence follows the flow of blood through the heart. The left pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-depleted blood from the lungs to the left atrium. From there, the blood flows to the left ventricle before being pumped out through the bicuspid valve. Therefore, the missing element in the sequence is the left atrium, which comes after the left ventricle and before the bicuspid valve.

  • 15. 
    Identify B: - ProProfs

    Identify B:

    Correct Answer
    Aortic Arch
    Aortic arch
    aortic arch
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "aortic arch". This term refers to the curved portion of the aorta that gives rise to several major arteries, including the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. It is an important anatomical structure involved in the distribution of oxygenated blood to the head, neck, and upper limbs. The different capitalizations ("Aortic Arch", "Aortic arch", "aortic arch") are likely variations in formatting or writing style, but they all refer to the same anatomical structure.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 
    Identify A: - ProProfs

    Identify A:

    Correct Answer
    Tunica Externa
    Tunica externa
    tunica externa
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Tunica Externa, Tunica externa, tunica externa." This answer refers to the outermost layer of a blood vessel, called the tunica externa. It is composed of connective tissue and provides support and protection to the blood vessel. The three variations of the answer (capitalized, capitalized with lowercase, and all lowercase) indicate that the term can be written in different ways while still referring to the same anatomical structure.

    Structure "D" represents the endocardium. - ProProfs

    Structure "D" represents the endocardium.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the structure "D" does not represent the endocardium.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 
    Identify D (no need to put artery following it's name): - ProProfs

    Identify D (no need to put artery following it's name):

    Correct Answer
    Coronary
    coronary
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Coronary, coronary." The question asks to identify D without needing to include the word "artery" after its name. In this case, "D" refers to the term "coronary," which is written in both uppercase and lowercase letters. Therefore, the correct answer is to identify "Coronary, coronary."

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 
    Identify A: - ProProfs

    Identify A:

    Correct Answer
    Right Pulmonary Artery
    Right pulmonary artery
    right pulmonary artery
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Right Pulmonary Artery, Right pulmonary artery, right pulmonary artery." This answer is correct because it accurately identifies the structure in question, which is the right pulmonary artery. The repetition of the answer in different capitalization formats suggests that the person is confident in their identification.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 
    "C" represents the arcuate vein. - ProProfs

    "C" represents the arcuate vein.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
