MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The apex of the heart is formed by the .
a.tip of the left ventricle
b.tip of the right atrium
c.right atrium and right ventricle
d.left atrium and left ventricle
ANS >> A
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The
apex lies justabove the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the
midclavicular line.
OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.
2. The left atrium receives blood from the .
a. pulmonary veins
b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries
d. inferior vena cava
ANS >> A
The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the
right and leftpulmonary veins.
OBJ: Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or
leave each.
3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the .
a. left atrium
b. right atrium
c. left ventricle
d. right ventricle
ANS >> D
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal
cartilages. It is formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right
ventricles. However, because the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the
chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart thatlies most directly behind the
sternum.
OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.

, 4. Blood pressure is determined by multiplied by .
a. stroke volume; heart rate
b. heart rate; cardiac output
c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
ANS >> C
Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular
resistance.
