nmCHOICE
1. The nmapex nmof nmthe nmheart nmis nmformed nmby nmthe .
a. tip nmof nmthe nmleft nmventricle
b. tip nmof nmthe nmright nmatrium
c. right nmatrium nmand nmright nmventricle
d. left nmatrium nmand nmleft nmventricle
ANSWER: n mA
The nmheart’s nmapex, nmor nmlower nmportion, nmis nmformed nmby nmthe nmtip nmof
nmthe nmleft nmventricle. nmThe nmapex nmlies nmjustnmabove nmthe nmdiaphragm,
nmbetween nmthe nmfifth nmand nmsixth nmribs, nmin nmthe nmmidclavicular nmline.
OBJ: nmIdentify nmthe nmsurfaces nmof nmthe nmheart.
2. The nmleft nmatrium nmreceives nmblood nmfrom nmthe .
a. pulmonary nmveins
b. aorta
c. pulmonary nmarteries
d. inferior nmvena nmcava
ANSWER: n mA
The nmleft nmatrium nmreceives nmfreshly nmoxygenated nmblood nmfrom nmthe
nmlungs nmvia nmthe nmright nmand nmleft nmpulmonary nmveins.
OBJ: nmIdentify nmand nmdescribe nmthe nmchambers nmof nmthe nmheart nmand nmthe nmvessels
nmthat nmenter nmor nmleave nmeach.
3. The nmanterior nmsurface nmof nmthe nmheart nmconsists nmprimarily nmof nmthe .
a. left nmatrium
b. right nmatrium
c. left nmventricle
d. right nmventricle
ANSWER: n mD
The nmfront nm(anterior) nmsurface nmof nmthe nmheart nmlies nmbehind nmthe
nmsternum nmand nmcostal nmcartilages. nmIt nmis nmformed nmby nmportions nmof
nmthe nmright nmatrium nmand nmthe nmleft nmand nmright nmventricles. nmHowever,
nmbecause nmthe nmheart nmis nmtilted nmslightly nmtoward nmthe nmleft nmin nmthe
nmchest, nmthe nmright nmventricle nmis nmthe nmarea nmof nmthe nmheart nmthatnmlies
nmmost nmdirectly nmbehind nmthe nmsternum.
OBJ: nmIdentify nmthe nmsurfaces nmof nmthe nmheart.
