MULTIPLE CHOICE BY
1. The apex of the heart is formed by the
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY .
a. tip of the left ventricle
BY BY BY BY
b. tip of the right atrium
BY BY BY BY
c. right atrium and right ventricle
BY BY BY BY
d. left atrium and left ventricle
BY BY BY BY
ANS: A BY
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex li
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
es just above the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
OBJ: B Y Identify the surfaces of the heart.
BY BY BY BY BY
2. The left atrium receives blood from the
BY BY BY BY BY BY .
a. pulmonary veins BY
b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries BY
d. inferior vena cava BY BY
ANS: A BY
The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
pulmonary veins. BY
OBJ: B Y Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY .
a. left atrium BY
b. right atrium BY
c. left ventricle BY
d. right ventricle BY
ANS: D BY
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
is formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, b
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
ecause the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the a
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
rea of the heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
OBJ: B Y Identify the surfaces of the heart.
BY BY BY BY BY
4. Blood pressure is determined by
BY multiplied by BY BY BY BY .
a. stroke volume; heart rate BY BY BY
b. heart rate; cardiac output
BY BY BY
c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
BY BY BY BY
d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
BY BY BY BY
ANS: C BY
Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
, OBJ: B Y Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
, from the remainder of the body via the BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
, and from the heart via the . BY BY BY BY BY BY
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
ANS: D BY
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which ca
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
rries blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
blood from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that dra
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
ins the heart.
BY BY
OBJ: B Y Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
6. The heart is divided into
BY BY BY BY chambers but functions as a BY BY BY BY -sided pump. BY
a. two; four BY
b. three; two BY
c. four; two BY
d. four; three BY
ANS: C BY
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of th
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
e heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The inte
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
ratrial septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates th
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
e right and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY B
Yright atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
make up the other. BY BY BY
OBJ: B Y Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in
BY . BY BY BY BY
a. increased heart rate BY BY
b. peripheral vasoconstriction BY
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle BY BY BY BY
d. increased force of myocardial contraction BY BY BY BY
ANS: B BY
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
. Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
OBJ: B Y Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the heart
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
.
8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B BY
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through t
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY
he lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY B
side of the heart is a low-pressure system.
