,Question 1
Which structure prevents backflow of blood from the left
ventricle into the left atrium during ventricular contraction?
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Pulmonic valve
C. Mitral valve
D. Aortic valve
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left
ventricle and closes during ventricular systole to prevent blood
from flowing backward into the left atrium. The tricuspid valve
separates the right atrium and right ventricle. The pulmonic
valve is located between the right ventricle and pulmonary
artery, and the aortic valve lies between the left ventricle and
aorta.

Question 2
,Blood returning from the systemic circulation enters the heart
through which structure first?
A. Left atrium
B. Right atrium
C. Left ventricle
D. Pulmonary artery
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Venous blood from the body returns to the right atrium
through the superior and inferior vena cava. From the right
atrium, blood passes through the tricuspid valve into the right
ventricle. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the
lungs, and the pulmonary artery carries blood away from the
heart.

Question 3
After passing through the tricuspid valve, blood flows directly
into the:
A. Left ventricle
B. Pulmonary artery
, C. Right ventricle
D. Left atrium
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right
ventricle. Blood moves from the right atrium through this valve
into the right ventricle before being pumped toward the lungs.

Question 4
Which valve opens to allow blood to enter the systemic
circulation?
A. Pulmonic valve
B. Tricuspid valve
C. Mitral valve
D. Aortic valve
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
The aortic valve is located between the left ventricle and the
aorta. When the left ventricle contracts, the aortic valve opens,
