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

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

separates the right and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
pumps. The right atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll

ANSWER: B IIll
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive

IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B IIll
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll IIll
lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side of
