b. three; xtwo
c. four; xtwo
d. four; xthree
ANSWER: x C
The xheart xhas xfour xchambers: xtwo xatria xand xtwo xventricles. xThe xright xand xleft xsides xof
xthe xheartxare xseparated xby xan xinternal xwall xof xconnective xtissue xcalled xa xseptum. xThe
xinteratrial xseptum xseparates xthe xright xand xleft xatria. xThe xinterventricular xseptum
xseparates xthe xright xand xleft xventricles. xThe xsepta xseparate xthe xheart xinto xtwo
xfunctional xpumps. xThe xright xatrium xand xright xventricle xmake xup xone xpump. xThe xleft
xatrium xand xleft xventricle xmake xup xthe xother.
OBJ: x Identify xand xdescribe xthe xchambers xof xthe xheart xand xthe xvessels xthat xenter xor xleave xeach.
7. Stimulation xof xalpha1 xreceptors xresults xin .
a. increased xheart xrate
b. peripheral xvasoconstriction
c. constriction xof xbronchial xsmooth xmuscle
d. increased xforce xof xmyocardial xcontraction
ANSWER: x B
Alpha1 xreceptors xare xfound xin xthe xeyes, xblood xvessels, xbladder, xand xmale xreproductive
xorgans.xStimulation xof xalpha1 xreceptor xsites xresults xin xconstriction.
OBJ: x Compare xand xcontrast xthe xeffects xof xsympathetic xand xparasympathetic xstimulation xof xthe
xheart.
8. Which xside xof xthe xheart xis xa xlow-pressure xsystem xthat xpumps xvenous xblood xto xthe
xlungs?
a. Left
