MULTIPLE CHOICE mj
1. The apex of the heart is formed by the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj .
a. tip of the left ventricle
mj mj mj mj
b. tip of the right atrium
mj mj mj mj
c. right atrium and right ventricle
mj mj mj mj
d. left atrium and left ventricle
mj mj mj mj
ANS: A mj
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies just
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
above the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
OBJ: m j Identify the surfaces of the heart. mj mj mj mj mj
2. The left atrium receives blood from the
mj mj mj mj mj mj .
a. pulmonary veins mj
b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries mj
d. inferior vena cava mj mj
ANS: A mj
The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
pulmonary veins.
mj mj
OBJ: m j Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj .
a. left atrium mj
b. right atrium mj
c. left ventricle mj
d. right ventricle mj
ANS: D mj
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
OBJ: m j Identify the surfaces of the heart. mj mj mj mj mj
4. Blood pressure is determined by
mj multiplied by mj mj mj mj .
a. stroke volume; heart rate mj mj mj
b. heart rate; cardiac output
mj mj mj
c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
mj mj mj mj
d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
mj mj mj mj
ANS: C mj
Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
, OBJ: m j Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.

5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj , from
mj
the remainder of the body via the
mj mj , and from the heart via the mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
ANS: D mj
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
heart.
mj
OBJ: m j Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
6. The heart is divided into
mj mj mj mj chambers but functions as a mj mj mj mj -sided pump. mj
a. two; four mj
b. three; two mj
c. four; two mj
d. four; three mj
ANS: C mj
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
the other.

7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in mj mj mj mj mj .
a. increased heart rate mj mj
b. peripheral vasoconstriction mj
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle mj mj mj mj
d. increased force of myocardial contraction mj mj mj mj
ANS: B mj
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
OBJ: m j Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.

8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B mj
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side of
mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj mj
the heart is a low-pressure system.
