MULTIPLECHOICE x




1. The apex of the heart is formed bythe
x x x x x x x x .
a. tip of the leftventricle
x x x x




b. tip of the right atrium
x x x x




c. right atrium and right ventricle x x x x




d. left atrium and left ventricle
x x x x




ANSWER: A x




Theheart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed bythetip ofthe left ventricle.The apex lies justabove the
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




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




OBJ: Identifythe surfaces of the heart.
x x x x x x




2. The left atrium receives blood from the
x x x x x x .
a. pulmonaryveins x




b. aorta
c. pulmonaryarteries x




d. inferiorvena cava x x




ANSWER: A x




The left atrium receives freshlyoxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




pulmonaryveins.
x x




OBJ: Identifyanddescribe the chambers of the heart andthe vessels thatenteror leave each.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarilyofthe
x x x x x x x x x .
a. left atrium x




b. right atrium x




c. leftventricle x




d. right ventricle x




ANSWER: D x




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




portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because the heart is tilted
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




slightlytoward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart thatlies most directly
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




behind the sternum.
x x x




OBJ: Identifythe surfaces of the heart.
x x x x x x




4. Blood pressureis determined by
x multiplied by x x x x .
a. strokevolume; heart rate x x x




b. heartrate; cardiac output x x x




c. cardiacoutput;peripheral vascularresistance x x x x




d. strokevolume;peripheral vascularresistance x x x x




ANSWER: C x




Bloodpressureis equal to cardiac output multiplied byperipheralvascular resistance.
x x x x x x x x x x x

, OBJ: Identifyandexplain the components of blood pressure and cardiacoutput.

5. The right atrium receives venousblood fromthe head, neck, and thorax via the ,fromthe
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




xremainder of the body via the , and from the heart via the x x x x x x x x x x x .
a. coronarysinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava x x x x x x x




b. superior venacava; coronarysinus; inferior vena cava x x x x x x x




c. inferiorvena cava; superiorvena cava; coronarysinus x x x x x x x




d. superior venacava; inferior vena cava; coronarysinus x x x x x x x




ANSWER: D x




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




from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood fromthe lower
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




body; and the coronarysinus, which is the largest vein thatdrains the heart.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




OBJ: Identifyanddescribe the chambers of the heart andthe vessels thatenteror leave each.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




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




a. two; four x




b. three;two x




c. four; two x




d. four; three x




ANSWER: C x




The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.The right and left sidesof theheartare
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum separates
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles. The septa
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right ventriclemake up one
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




pump.The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.
x x x x x x x x x x x




OBJ: Identifyanddescribe the chambers of the heart andthe vessels thatenteror leave each.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




7. Stimulation ofalpha1 receptorsresults in x x x x x .
a. increasedheart rate x x




b. peripheralvasoconstriction x




c. constriction ofbronchial smooth muscle x x x x




d. increasedforce ofmyocardial contraction x x x x




ANSWER: B x




Alpha1 receptors arefound intheeyes, blood vessels, bladder,and malereproductiveorgans.
x x x x x x x x x x x x x




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




OBJ: Compareandcontrast theeffectsofsympatheticand parasympatheticstimulation of theheart.

8. Whichsideof the heart is alow-pressuresystem that pumps venous blood to thelungs?
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B x




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




sideofthe heart.This is called thepulmonary circulation.The right side ofthe heartis a low-pressure
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x




system.
