ANS: A hj
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies just a

2. The left atrium receives blood from the
hj hj hj hj hj hj .
a. pulmonary veins hj
b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries hj
d. inferior vena cava hj hj
ANS: A hj
The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left pulmon

3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj .
a. left atrium hj
b. right atrium hj
c. left ventricle hj
d. right ventricle hj
ANS: D hj
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is for
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
med by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because the he
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
art is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart that li

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

hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
ANS: D hj
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries bl
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
ood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood from the
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the heart.

6. The heart is divided into
hj hj hj hj chambers but functions as a hj hj hj hj -sided pump. hj
a. two; four hj
b. three; two hj
c. four; two hj
d. four; three hj
ANS: C hj
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. T he right and left sides of the heart a
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
re separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial septum se

parates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricl

es. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right ventricl
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
e make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up the other.

7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in hj hj hj hj hj .
a. increased heart rate hj hj
b. peripheral vasoconstriction hj
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle hj hj hj hj
d. increased force of myocardial contraction hj hj hj hj
ANS: B hj
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive organs. Stim
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
ulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.

8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B hj
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the lungs
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side of the heart
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj
is a low-pressure system.
