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

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

kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
ANS: D kk
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
carries blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
blood from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
drains the heart.
kk kk kk
OBJ: k k Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
6. The heart is divided into
kk kk kk kk chambers but functions as a kk kk kk kk -sided pump. kk
a. two; four kk
b. three; two kk
c. four; two kk
d. four; three kk
ANS: C kk
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
interatrial septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
the right and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
The right atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
ventricle make up the other.
kk kk kk kk kk
OBJ: k k Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in . kk kk kk kk kk
a. increased heart rate kk kk
b. peripheral vasoconstriction kk
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle kk kk kk kk
d. increased force of myocardial contraction kk kk kk kk
ANS: B kk
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
OBJ: k k Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart.
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B kk
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side
kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk kk
of the heart is a low-pressure system.
