MULTIPLE CHOICE c




1. The apex of the heart is formed by the
c c c c c c c c .
a. tip of the left ventricle
c c c c


b. tip of the right atrium
c c c c


c. right atrium and right ventricle c c c c


d. left atrium and left ventricle
c c c c




ANSWER: A c


The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


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




OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.
c c c c c c




2. The left atrium receives blood from the
c c c c c c .
a. pulmonary veins c


b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries c


d. inferior vena cava c c




ANSWER: A c


The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and
c c c c c c c c c c c c c


leftpulmonary veins.
c c c




OBJ: Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c




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


b. right atrium c


c. left ventricle c


d. right ventricle c




ANSWER: D c


The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


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


heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


thatlies most directly behind the sternum.
c c c c c c c




OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.
c c c c c c




4. Blood pressure is determined by
c multiplied by c c c c .
a. stroke volume; heart rate c c c


b. heart rate; cardiac output c c c


c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance c c c c


d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
c c c c




ANSWER: C c


Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
c c c c c c c c c c c

, OBJ: Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.

5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c ,
cfromthe remainder of the body via the , and from the heart via the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava c c c c c c c


b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
c c c c c c c


c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
c c c c c c c


d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
c c c c c c c




ANSWER: D c


The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


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


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

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


a. two; four c


b. three; two c


c. four; two c


d. four; three c




ANSWER: C c


The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


heartare separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


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


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


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

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


b. peripheral vasoconstriction c


c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle c c c c


d. increased force of myocardial contraction c c c c




ANSWER: B c


Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive
c c c c c c c c c c c c


organs.Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
c c c c c c c c c




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

8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B c


The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the lungs
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c


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


heartis a low-pressure system.
