TRUE/FALSE

1. Stimulation x of x beta-adrenergic x receptor x sites x will x result x in x peripheral x vasoconstriction.

ANS: x F
Beta x receptor x sites x are x divided x into x beta1 x and x beta2. x Beta1 x receptors x are x found x in
x the x heart xand x kidneys. x Stimulation x of x beta1 x x receptor x sites x in x the x heart x results x in

x increased x heart xrate, x contractility, x and x ultimately x irritability x of x cardiac x cells.

x Stimulation x of x beta1 x receptor xsites x in x the x kidneys x results x in x the x release x of x renin


x into x the x blood. x Renin x promotes x the xproduction x of x angiotensin, x a x powerful

x vasoconstrictor. x Beta2 x receptor x sites x are x found x in xthe x arterioles x of x the x heart,

x lungs, x and x skeletal x muscle. x Stimulation x results x in x dilation.

Stimulation x of x beta2 x x receptor x sites x in x the x smooth x muscle x of x the x bronchi x results x in
x dilation.




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




2. Blood x pressure x is x the x result x of x cardiac x output x and x peripheral x vascular x resistance.

ANS: x T
Blood xpressure xis xequal xto xcardiac xoutput xmultiplied xby xperipheral xvascular xresistance.
x Blood x pressure x is x the x force x exerted x by x the x circulating x blood x volume x on x the x walls

x of x the xarteries.

Peripheral x vascular x resistance x is xthe xresistance xto xthe xflow xof xblood xdetermined x by xblood
xvessel x diameter x and x the x tone x of x the x vascular x musculature.




OBJ: Identify x and x explain x the x components x of x blood x pressure x and x cardiac x output.


MULTIPLE x CHOICE

1. The x apex x of x the x heart x is x formed x by x the .

ANS: x A
The x heart’s x apex, x or x lower x portion, x is x formed x by xthe x tip x of x the x left x ventricle. x The
x apex x lies xjust x above x the x diaphragm, x between x the x fifth x and x sixth x ribs, x in x the

x midclavicular x line.




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

2. The x left x atrium x receives x blood x from x the .
a. pulmonary x veins
b. aorta
c. pulmonary x arteries
d. inferior x vena x cava
ANS: x A

, The x left x atrium x receives x freshly xoxygenated x blood x from x the x lungs x via x the x right x and
x left xpulmonary xveins.




OBJ: x x Identify x and x describe x the x chambers x of x the x heart x and x the x vessels x that x enter x or x leave
x each.




3. The x anterior x surface x of x the x heart x consists x primarily x of x the.
a. left x atrium
b. right x atrium
c. left x ventricle
d. right x ventricle
ANS: x D
The xfront x(anterior) xsurface xof xthe xheart xlies xbehind xthe xsternum xand xcostal xcartilages. xIt xis
xformed x by x portions x of x the x right x atrium x and x the xleft x and x right x ventricles. x However,

x because xthe xheart xis xtilted x slightly xtoward xthe xleft xin xthe xchest, x the xright xventricle xis xthe

xarea xof xthe xheart xthat x lies x most x directly x behind x the x sternum.




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

4. Blood x pressure x is x determined x by multiplied x by .
a. stroke x volume; x heart x rate
b. heart x rate; x cardiac x output
c. cardiac x output; x peripheral x vascular x resistance
d. stroke x volume; x peripheral x vascular x resistance
ANS: x C
Blood x pressure x is x equal x to x cardiac x output x multiplied x by x peripheral x vascular x resistance.

OBJ: x x Identify x and x explain x the x components x of x blood x pressure x and x cardiac x output.

5. The x right x atrium x receives x venous x blood x from x the x head, x neck, x and x thorax x via x the
x, xfrom xthe xremainder xof xthe xbody xvia xthe , xand xfrom xthe
xheart xvia xthe .
a. coronary x sinus; x superior x vena x cava; x inferior x vena x cava
b. superior x vena x cava; x coronary x sinus; x inferior x vena x cava
c. inferior x vena x cava; x superior x vena x cava; x coronary x sinus
d. superior x vena x cava; x inferior x vena x cava; x coronary x sinus
ANS: x D
The x right x atrium x receives x blood x low x in x oxygen x from x the x superior x vena x cava, x which
x carries xblood x from x the x head x and x upper x extremities; x the x inferior x vena x cava, x which

x carries x blood xfrom x the x lower x body; x and x the x coronary x sinus, x which x is x the x largest

x vein x that x drains x the xheart.




OBJ: Identify x and x describe x the x chambers x of x the x heart x and x the x vessels x that x enter x or x leave x each.

6. The x heart x is x divided x into chambers x but x functions x as x a -sided x pump.
a. two; x four
b. three; x two
c. four; x two
d. four; x three
ANS: x C

, The x heart x has x four x chambers: x two x atria x and x two x ventricles. x The x right x and x left x sides
x of x the xheart x are x separated x by x an x internal x wall x of x connective x tissue x called x a

x septum. x The xinteratrial x septum x separates xthe xright xand xleft xatria. xThe xinterventricular

x septum x separates xthe x right x and x left x ventricles. x The x septa x separate x the x heart x into x two

x functional x pumps. x The xright x atrium x and x right x ventricle x make x up x one x pump. x The

x left x atrium x and x left x ventricle xmake xup xthe xother.




OBJ: Identify x and x describe x the x chambers x of x the x heart x and x the x vessels x that x enter x or x leave x each.

7. Stimulation x of x alpha-adrenergic x receptors x results x in .
a. increased x heart x rate
b. peripheral x vasoconstriction
c. constriction x of x bronchial x smooth x muscle
d. increased x force x of x myocardial x contraction
ANS: x B
Alpha1 x receptors x are xfound xin xthe xeyes, xblood x vessels, x bladder, x and xmale xreproductive
xorgans. x Stimulation x of x alpha1 x receptor x sites x results x in x constriction.




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




8. Which x side x of x the x heart x is x a x low-pressure x system x that x pumps x venous x blood x to x the
x lungs?
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: x B
The x job x of x the x right x side x of x the x heart x is x to x pump x unoxygenated x blood x to x and x through
x the xlungs x to x the x left x side x of x the x heart. x This x is x called x the x pulmonary x circulation.

x The x right xside x of x the x heart x is x a xlow-pressure x system.




OBJ: Identify x and x describe x the x chambers x of x the x heart x and x the x vessels x that x enter x or x leave x each.

9. Which x side x of x the x heart x is x a x high-pressure xsystem x that x pumps x arterial x blood
x to x the xsystemic xcirculation?
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: x A
The x left x side x of x the x heart x is x a x high-pressure x pump. x The x job x of x the x left x heart x is x to
x receive xoxygenated x blood x and x pump x it x out x to x the x rest x of x the x body. x This x is

x called x the x systemic xcirculation. x The x left x ventricle x is x a x high-pressure x chamber. x Its

x wall x is x much x thicker x than xthe x right x ventricle x (the x right x ventricle x is x 3 x to x 5 x mm

x thick; x the x left x ventricle x is x 13 x to x 15 xmm xthick). x This x is x because x the x left x ventricle

x must x overcome x a x lot x of x pressure x and xresistance x from x the x arteries x and x contract

x forcefully x in x order x to x pump x blood x out x to x the xbody.




OBJ: Identify x and x describe x the x chambers x of x the x heart x and x the x vessels x that x enter x or x leave x each.

10. The xthick, xmuscular xmiddle xlayer xof xthe xheart xwall xthat xcontains xthe xatrial xand
ventricular xmuscle xfibers xnecessary xfor xcontraction xis xthe
x .
