c. right atrium and right ventricle v v v v
d. left atrium and left ventricle

ANSWER: A v
Theheart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed bythetip ofthe left ventricle.The apex lies justabove the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.

2. The left atrium receives blood from the
v v v v v v .
a. pulmonaryveins v
b. aorta

d. inferiorvena cava v v
ANSWER: A v
The left atrium receives freshlyoxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and

3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarilyofthe
v v v v v v v v v .
a. left atrium v
b. right atrium v
c. leftventricle v
d. right ventricle v
ANSWER: D v
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is formed by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because the heart is tilted
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
slightlytoward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart thatlies most directly
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
behind the sternum.

a. strokevolume; heart rate v v v
b. heartrate; cardiac output v v v
c. cardiacoutput;peripheral vascularresistance v v v v

5. The right atrium receives venousblood fromthe head, neck, and thorax via the ,fromthe
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
vremainder of the bodyvia the , and from the heart via the v v v v v v v v v v v .
a. coronarysinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava v v v v v v v

c. inferiorvena cava; superiorvena cava; coronarysinus v v v v v v v
d. superior venacava; inferior vena cava; coronarysinus v v v v v v v
ANSWER: D v
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries blood
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood fromthe lower
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
body; and the coronarysinus, which is the largest vein thatdrains the heart.

6. The heart is divided into
v v v v chambers but functions as a v v v v -sided pump. v
a. two; four v
b. three;two v
c. four; two v
d. four; three v
ANSWER: C v
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.The right and left sidesof theheartare
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum separates
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles. The septa
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right ventriclemake up one
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
pump.The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.

ANSWER: B v
Alpha1 receptors arefound intheeyes, blood vessels, bladder,and malereproductive

organs.Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.

8. Whichside of the heart is alow-pressuresystem that pumps venous blood to thelungs?
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B v
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the lungs to the left
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
sideofthe heart.This is called thepulmonary circulation.The right side ofthe heartis a low-pressure
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
system.
