i1 i1 i1 i1




ANS: A i1


The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


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

i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 .
a. left atrium i1


b. right atrium i1


c. left ventricle i1


d. right ventricle i1




ANS: D i1


The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




OBJ: i 1 Identify the surfaces of the heart. i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




4. Blood pressure is determined by
i1 multiplied by i1 i1 i1 i1 .
a. stroke volume; heart rate i1 i1 i1


b. heart rate; cardiac output i1 i1 i1


c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
i1 i1 i1 i1


d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
i1 i1 i1 i1




ANS: C i1


Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1

, OBJ: i 1 Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 , from
i1


the remainder of the body via the
i1 i1 , and from the heart via the i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




ANS: D i1


The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


heart.

OBJ: i 1 Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




6. The heart is divided into
i1 i1 i1 i1 chambers but functions as a i1 i1 i1 i1 -sided pump. i1


a. two; four i1


b. three; two i1


c. four; two i1


d. four; three i1




ANS: C i1


The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


the other.

7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 .
a. increased heart rate i1 i1


b. peripheral vasoconstriction i1


c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle i1 i1 i1 i1


d. increased force of myocardial contraction i1 i1 i1 i1




ANS: B i1


Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




OBJ: i 1 Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1




8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B i1


The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side of
i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 i1


the heart is a low-pressure system.
