Physiology Exam 3 Cardiovascular with
100% Correct Solutions
Three components of cardiovascular system overview: - ANS-Blood
Blood vessels
Heart
Functions: - ANS--efficiently distribute oxygen, nutrients, etc. to body's cells
-remove wastes from these same cells
Transport in the Cardiovascular System: - ANS-
Heart: - ANS-force generating organ that propels blood throughout blood vessels
Which ventricle wall is thicker? - ANS-left
Blood circulation through the body is essentially one-way through two circuits: - ANS-(1)
Pulmonary circuit
(2) systemic circuit
Pulmonary circuit: - ANS-blood flow between heart and lungs
Systemic circuit: - ANS-blood flow between heart and rest of body
Right side of heart receives: - ANS-deoxygenated blood from systemic circuit, sends to
pulmonary circuit
Left side of heart receives: - ANS-oxygenated blood from pulmonary circuit, sends to
systemic circuit
Heart receives blood from and sends blood to: (diagram) - ANS-
Fetal shunts of the pulmonary circuit: - ANS-
Foramen ovale: - ANS-fossa ovalis
Arterial duct: - ANS-arterial ligament
congenital heart defects: - ANS-about 1:100 live births
most common major birth defect
