A&P II Module 4 Possible Exam Questions
1. Which body system supplies cells with oxygen and nutrients and carries
away waste?
Circulatory System
1. The circulatory system is responsible for which of the following functions?
Supply cells with oxygen, transportation of gasses, rid cells of waste, prevents
loss of blood
2. The pericardial cavity contains the ___
Heart
2. The heart is contained in the ___ cavity.
Pericardial
3. Which layer of heart anchors it to the diaphragm?
Pericardium
3. Which layer of the heart is composed of contractile cardiac muscle?
Myocardium
4. What is the purpose of the fossa ovalis in a fetus
It allows fetal blood to move directly from right to left atrium, bypassing he
undeveloped lungs. The fossa ovalis closes during birth so that the lungs can
receive oxygen once the baby is born.
4. What is the purpose of the mitral valve?
The mitral valve controls the flow of blood from the left atrium into the left
ventricle.

False (veins)
10. Which vessels would you expect to be the best place to feel a strong pulse?
Common carotid or subclavian artery (not vein)
11. Which is the correct order of blood flow starting from the heart?
