jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv .
a. tip of the left ventricle
jv jv jv jv

jv jv jv jv


d. left atrium and left ventricle
jv jv jv jv




ANSWER: A jv


The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


justabove the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.

ANSWER: A jv


The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and

jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv .
a. left atrium jv


b. right atrium jv


c. left ventricle jv


d. right ventricle jv




ANSWER: D jv


The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


heart thatlies most directly behind the sternum.
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv




OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.
jv jv jv jv jv jv




4. Blood pressure is determined by
jv multiplied by jv jv jv jv .
a. stroke volume; heart rate jv jv jv


b. heart rate; cardiac output jv jv jv


c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
jv jv jv jv


d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
jv jv jv jv




ANSWER: C jv


Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv

5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv ,
fromthe remainder of the body via the , and from the heart via the
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv




ANSWER: D jv


The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


carries blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


blood fromthe lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


the heart.

6. The heart is divided into
jv jv jv jv chambers but functions as a jv jv jv jv -sided pump. jv


a. two; four jv


b. three; two jv


c. four; two jv


d. four; three jv




ANSWER: C jv


The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


heartare separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


the other.

7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in jv jv jv jv jv .
a. increased heart rate jv jv


b. peripheral vasoconstriction jv


c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle jv jv jv jv


d. increased force of myocardial contraction jv jv jv jv




ANSWER: B jv


Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


organs.Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv




OBJ: Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.

8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B jv


The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side
jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv jv


of the heartis a low-pressure system.
