ANS: f A
The fheart’s fapex, for flower fportion, fis fformed fby fthe ftip fof fthe fleft fventricle. fThe fapex flies fjust
fabove fthe fdiaphragm, fbetween fthe ffifth fand fsixth fribs, fin fthe fmidclavicular fline.
OBJ: f Identify fthe fsurfaces fof fthe fheart.
2. The fleft fatrium freceives fblood ffrom fthe .
a. pulmonary fveins
b. aorta
c. pulmonary farteries
d. inferior fvena fcava
ANS: f A
The fleft fatrium freceives ffreshly foxygenated fblood ffrom fthe flungs fvia fthe fright fand fleft
fpulmonary fveins.
OBJ: f Identify fand fdescribe fthe fchambers fof fthe fheart fand fthe fvessels fthat fenter for fleave feach.
3. The fanterior fsurface fof fthe fheart fconsists fprimarily fof fthe .
a. left fatrium
b. right fatrium
c. left fventricle
d. right fventricle
ANS: f D
The ffront f(anterior) fsurface fof fthe fheart flies fbehind fthe fsternum fand fcostal fcartilages. fIt fis
fformed fby fportions fof fthe fright fatrium fand fthe fleft fand fright fventricles. fHowever, fbecause fthe
fheart fis ftilted fslightly ftoward fthe fleft fin fthe fchest, fthe fright fventricle fis fthe farea fof fthe fheart fthat
flies fmost fdirectly fbehind fthe fsternum.
OBJ: f Identify fthe fsurfaces fof fthe fheart.
4. Blood fpressure fis fdetermined fby multiplied fby .
a. stroke fvolume; fheart frate
b. heart frate; fcardiac foutput
c. cardiac foutput; fperipheral fvascular fresistance
d. stroke fvolume; fperipheral fvascular fresistance
ANS: f C
Blood fpressure fis fequal fto fcardiac foutput fmultiplied fby fperipheral fvascular fresistance.
, OBJ: f Identify fand fexplain fthe fcomponents fof fblood fpressure fand fcardiac foutput.
5. The fright fatrium freceives fvenous fblood ffrom fthe fhead, fneck, fand fthorax fvia fthe , ffrom
the fremainder fof fthe fbody fvia fthe
f , fand ffrom fthe fheart fvia fthe .
a. coronary fsinus; fsuperior fvena fcava; finferior fvena fcava
b. superior fvena fcava; fcoronary fsinus; finferior fvena fcava
c. inferior fvena fcava; fsuperior fvena fcava; fcoronary fsinus
d. superior fvena fcava; finferior fvena fcava; fcoronary fsinus
ANS: f D
The fright fatrium freceives fblood flow fin foxygen ffrom fthe fsuperior fvena fcava, fwhich fcarries
fblood ffrom fthe fhead fand fupper fextremities; fthe finferior fvena fcava, fwhich fcarries fblood ffrom
fthe flower fbody; fand fthe fcoronary fsinus, fwhich fis fthe flargest fvein fthat fdrains fthe fheart.
OBJ: f Identify fand fdescribe fthe fchambers fof fthe fheart fand fthe fvessels fthat fenter for fleave feach.
6. The fheart fis fdivided finto chambers fbut ffunctions fas fa -sided fpump.
a. two; ffour
b. three; ftwo
c. four; ftwo
d. four; fthree
ANS: f C
The fheart fhas ffour fchambers: ftwo fatria fand ftwo fventricles. fThe fright fand fleft fsides fof fthe fheart
fare fseparated fby fan finternal fwall fof fconnective ftissue fcalled fa fseptum. fThe finteratrial fseptum
fseparates fthe fright fand fleft fatria. fThe finterventricular fseptum fseparates fthe fright fand fleft
fventricles. fThe fsepta fseparate fthe fheart finto ftwo ffunctional fpumps. fThe fright fatrium fand fright
fventricle fmake fup fone fpump. fThe fleft fatrium fand fleft fventricle fmake fup fthe fother.
OBJ: f Identify fand fdescribe fthe fchambers fof fthe fheart fand fthe fvessels fthat fenter for fleave feach.
7. Stimulation fof falpha1 freceptors fresults fin .
a. increased fheart frate
b. peripheral fvasoconstriction
c. constriction fof fbronchial fsmooth fmuscle
d. increased fforce fof fmyocardial fcontraction
ANS: f B
Alpha1 freceptors fare ffound fin fthe feyes, fblood fvessels, fbladder, fand fmale freproductive forgans.
fStimulation fof falpha1 freceptor fsites fresults fin fconstriction.
OBJ: f Compare fand fcontrast fthe feffects fof fsympathetic fand fparasympathetic fstimulation fof fthe fheart.
8. Which fside fof fthe fheart fis fa flow-pressure fsystem fthat fpumps fvenous fblood fto fthe flungs?
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: f B
The fjob fof fthe fright fside fof fthe fheart fis fto fpump funoxygenated fblood fto fand fthrough fthe flungs
fto fthe fleft fside fof fthe fheart. fThis fis fcalled fthe fpulmonary fcirculation. fThe fright fside fof fthe fheart
fis fa flow-pressure fsystem.
