MULTIPLE
l#CHOICE
1. The l#apex l#of l#the l#heart l#is l#formed l#by l#the .
a. tip l#of l#the l#left l#ventricle
b. tip l#of l#the l#right l#atrium
c. right l#atrium l#and l#right l#ventricle
d. left l#atrium l#and l#left l#ventricle
ANS: l# A
The l#heart’s l#apex, l#or l#lower l#portion, l#is l#formed l#by l#the l#tip l#of l#the l#left l#ventricle.
l#The l#apex l#lies l#just l # above l#the l#diaphragm, l#between l#the l#fifth l#and l#sixth l#ribs, l#in
l#the l#midclavicular l#line.
OBJ: l# l # Identify l#the l#surfaces l#of l#the l#heart.
2. The l#left l#atrium l#receives l#blood l#from l#the .
a. pulmonary l#veins
b. aorta
c. pulmonary l#arteries
d. inferior l#vena l#cava
ANS: l# A
The l#left l#atrium l#receives l#freshly l#oxygenated l#blood l#from l#the l#lungs l#via l#the
l#right l#and l#left l # pulmonary l#veins.
OBJ: l# l # Identify l#and l#describe l#the l#chambers l#of l#the l#heart l#and l#the l#vessels l#that l#enter l#or
l#leave l#each.
3. The l#anterior l#surface l#of l#the l#heart l#consists l#primarily l#of l#the .
a. left l#atrium
b. right l#atrium
c. left l#ventricle
d. right l#ventricle
ANS: l# D
The l#front l#(anterior) l#surface l#of l#the l#heart l#lies l#behind l#the l#sternum l#and l#costal
l#cartilages. l#It l#is l # formed l#by l#portions l#of l#the l#right l#atrium l#and l#the l#left l#and
l#right l#ventricles. l#However, l#because l#the l # heart l#is l#tilted l#slightly l#toward l#the
l#left l#in l#the l#chest, l#the l#right l#ventricle l#is l#the l#area l#of l#the l#heart l#that l # lies l#most
l#directly l#behind l#the l#sternum.
OBJ: l# l # Identify l#the l#surfaces l#of l#the l#heart.
4. Blood l#pressure l#is l#determined l#by multiplied l#by .
a. stroke l#volume; l#heart l#rate
b. heart l#rate; l#cardiac l#output
c. cardiac l#output; l#peripheral l#vascular l#resistance
