arterial system
capillary system
venous system -
correct answer ✅what are the 4 components of cardiovascular
physiology?
cardiovascular system fx -
correct answer ✅-transports blood (O2, hormones, other
chemicals) to and from muscles
-responsible for bulk transport (nutrients to tissues, wastes away; )2
to respiring tissue, CO2 away)
-carry substances from one part of body and back
pump (heart) -
correct answer ✅component of Cardiovascular physiology
-propels blood around the body
arterial system -
correct answer ✅component of Cardiovascular physiology
-distributes blood to the body organs and acts as pressure reserve
,BMP Exam #4 – Cardiovascular Exam
Questions And Answers Latest 2025
-interstate highways of cardio syst
-large branching blood vessels
capillary system -
correct answer ✅component of Cardiovascular physiology
-site of transfer (exchange) of substances b/w blood and tissue
-directly feed all tissues in body
-"local orads"
venous system -
correct answer ✅component of Cardiovascular physiology
-route of return of blood from the body to the heart
-also serves as volume reservoir
the heart -
correct answer ✅-pumps 5 quarts/min, 75 gal/hr, 84 barrels/day,
>2 mil barrels/life
-avg hr: 70 bpm
-women hearts beat faster
,BMP Exam #4 – Cardiovascular Exam
Questions And Answers Latest 2025
-3 yrs after person quits smoking, their chance of MI is same as
someone who has never smoked
-weighs less then 1 pound
-can create enough pressure to squirt blood 30 ft
-R lung of human is larger bc of placement of heart
-beats roughly 35 mil times/yr
cardiac muscle arrangement -
correct answer ✅-hybrid b/w SKM and SMM
-has striations, sarcomeres, Z lines, linearly arranged actin and
myosin like SKM
-but fibers are not arranged linearly like SKM; arranged like basket
weave/spiral
-CM contracts in twisted spiral fashion similar to SMM
cardiac muscle innervation -
correct answer ✅-neurons run to heart, but no neurons or NT's in
heart itself
-no snesory neurons running from heart; no sensation of pain
comes from heart muscle; why detecting MI can be difficult; get
referred pain somewhere else (arm, indigestion, etc)
, BMP Exam #4 – Cardiovascular Exam
Questions And Answers Latest 2025
atrioventricular (AV) valves -
correct answer ✅Valves located between the atrial and ventricular
chambers on each side of the heart, prevent backflow into the atria
when the ventricles are contracting.
-Left: mitral/bicuspid
-right: tricuspid
semilunar valves -
correct answer ✅pulmonary and aortic valves located between
the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and between the left
ventricle and the aorta
-pulm artery: carries deO2 blood
-pulm vein: carries O2 blood
superior vena cava -
correct answer ✅A vein that is the second largest vein in the
human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart
from the upper half of the body.
-drains head and chest area
