d. left atrium and left ventricle
ss ss ss ss




ANS: s s A
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed bythe tip of the left ventricle.The apex lies just above
s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss s ss ss s ss ss ss ss



the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.

2. The left atrium receives blood from the
ss ss ss ss ss ss .
a. pulmonaryveins s



b. aorta

d. inferiorvena cava s ss




ANS: s s A
The left atrium receives freshlyoxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left pulmonary

veins.

3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss .
a. left atrium ss



b. right atrium ss



c. leftventricle s



d. right ventricle ss




ANS: s s D
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



the heart is tilted slightlytoward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart
ss ss ss ss ss s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



that lies most directly behind the sternum.

OBJ: Identifythe surfaces of the heart. ss ss ss ss




4. Blood pressure is determined by
ss multiplied by ss ss ss ss .
a. strokevolume; heart rate s ss ss



b. heart rate; cardiac output ss ss ss



c. cardiacoutput; peripheral vascular resistance s ss ss ss



d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance s ss ss ss




ANS: s s C
Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied byperipheral vascular resistance.

5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ,from
the remainder of the body via the
ss ss , and from the heart via the ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss .

c. inferiorvena cava; superior vena cava; coronarysinus s ss ss ss ss ss s



d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronarysinus ss ss ss ss ss ss s




ANS: s s D
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood from the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the heart.

6. The heart is divided into
s ss ss ss chambers but functions as a ss ss ss ss -sided pump. ss



a. two; four ss



b. three; two ss



c. four; two ss



d. four; three ss




ANS: s s C
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles.The right and left sides of the heart
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right and left
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.

7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in ss ss ss ss ss .
a. increased heart rate ss ss



b. peripheral vasoconstriction ss



c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle ss ss ss ss



d. increased force of myocardial contraction ss ss ss ss




ANS: s s B
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs.
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.

OBJ: Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.

8. Whichside of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



a. Left
b. Right
ANS: s s B
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the lungs
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation.The right side of the heart is
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss ss ss ss ss ss



a low-pressure system.
