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

a. two; four cf
b. three; two cf
c. four; two cf
d. four; three cf
ANS: C cf
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the heart
cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf
are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum
cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf
separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right and left
cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf
ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right
cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf cf
ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.

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

Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
