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.

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

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

that lies most directly behind the sternum.

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

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.

Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
