Answer: Red blood cell
◍ Use the figure below to answer the following question.Which part of the
medical equipment (B-F) is squeezed to inflate A?.
Answer: The bulb
◍ Which vessel would you expect to be the best place to feel a strong pulse?.
Answer: Common carotid / subclavian artery
◍ You are reviewing your patient's results from an EK
G. The findings indicate a problem with ventricular repolarization. Where

Answer: T-wave
◍ True or False: Veins carry blood towards the heart..
Answer: True
◍ A patient is suspected to have peripheral edema due to heart failure. Which
side of the heart would be in failure? Explain your answer..

the heart cannot pump blood into the heart efficiently, blood and fluid will
back up into the veins, causing swelling in body tissues.
◍ The portion of blood responsible for maintaining blood pH is:.
, Answer: plasma
◍ What is the purpose of the mitral valve?.

plaque in a coronary artery, the balloon attached to the end of the tube is
inflated, forcingthe vessel open.
◍ Name the vessel in the figure below: (highlighted in blue, also indicated by
the arrow).
Answer: Circumflex branch
◍ Label the figure below (A-E):A:B:C:D: (In blue)E:.
Answer: A: Superior Vena CavaB: Right AtriumC: Tricuspid/Right AV
valveD: Left ventricleE. Pulmonary Valve
