MULTIPLE CHOICE kj




1. The apex of the heart is formed by the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj .
a. tip of the left ventricle
kj kj kj kj



b. tip of the right atrium
kj kj kj kj



c. right atrium and right ventricle kj kj kj kj



d. left atrium and left ventricle
kj kj kj kj




ANS: A kj



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



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




OBJ: k j Identify the surfaces of the heart. kj kj kj kj kj




2. The left atrium receives blood from the
kj kj kj kj kj kj .
a. pulmonary veins kj



b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries kj



d. inferior vena cava kj kj




ANS: A kj



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



pulmonary veins.
kj kj




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




3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj .
a. left atrium kj



b. right atrium kj



c. left ventricle kj



d. right ventricle kj




ANS: D kj



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



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



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



lies most directly behind the sternum.
kj kj kj kj kj kj




OBJ: k j Identify the surfaces of the heart. kj kj kj kj kj




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



b. heart rate; cardiac output kj kj kj



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



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




ANS: C kj



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

, OBJ: k j Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj , from
kj



the remainder of the body via the
kj kj , and from the heart via the kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



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



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



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




ANS: D kj



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



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



the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the heart.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




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




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



a. two; four kj



b. three; two kj



c. four; two kj



d. four; three kj




ANS: C kj



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



are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



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



ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




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




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



b. peripheral vasoconstriction kj



c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle kj kj kj kj



d. increased force of myocardial contraction kj kj kj kj




ANS: B kj



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



Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj




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




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



a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B kj



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



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



is a low-pressure system.
