Vagus nerve - CORRECT ANSWER-10th cranial nerve. Supplies fibers to many parts of body. (Ears, tongue, pharynx, larynx, thoracic/abdominal viscera). Pulmonary veins - CORRECT ANSWER-Return oxygenated blood to left atrium from lungs. Only veins that carry oxygenated blood. Superior vena cava - CORRECT ANSWER-Drains head, neck, and upper extremities into right atrium. Adrenal glad - CORRECT ANSWER-Secretes epinephrine, norepinephrine, and corticosteroids. Ectopic focus - CORRECT ANSWER-Displaced central point of origin for cardiac dysrhythmias. Inferior alveolar artery - CORRECT ANSWER-Supplies blood to teeth, mandible, lower lip, and chin.
