c. right atrium and right ventricle ht ht ht ht



d. left atrium and left ventricle ht ht ht ht




ANSWER: A h t



Theheart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed bythe tip ofthe left ventricle. The apex lies just ab ove t

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



b. right atrium ht



c. left ventricle ht



d. right ventricle ht




ANSWER: D h t



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



by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because the heart is tilt

ed slightlytoward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart that lies m ost directl

y behind the sternum.

OBJ: Identifythe surfaces of the heart.

4. Blood pressure is determined by
ht multiplied by ht ht ht ht .
a. strokevolume; heart rate ht ht ht



b. heart rate; cardiac output ht ht ht



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



d. strokevolume; peripheral vascular resistance ht ht ht ht




ANSWER: C h t



Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied byperipheral vascular resistance.

d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronarysinus ht ht ht ht ht ht ht




ANSWER: D h t



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

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



a. two; four ht



b. three; two ht



c. four; two ht



d. four; three ht




ANSWER: C h t



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

a. increased heart rate 1a ht



b. peripheral vasoconstriction ht



c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle ht ht ht ht



d. increased force ofmyocardial contraction 1a ht ht ht




ANSWER: B h t



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