BIOMED EXAM 2024
the human heart is described as what? - CORRECT ANSWERS-a
four chambered muscular pump designed to provide the force needed
to transport blood through tissues of the body
what does the hearts pulmonary circuit do? - CORRECT ANSWERS-
pumps blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen
what does the systemic circuit do? - CORRECT ANSWERS-pumps
oxygenated blood out to the tissues of the body
what are the functions that make up the human heart and how are
they organized - CORRECT ANSWERS-aorta
anterior vena cava
semilunar valve
right atrium
right ventricle
posterior vena cava
pulmonary artery
pulmonary vein
left atrium
atriventicular valve
septum
left ventricle
how do the heart and lungs work together to pick up and deliver
oxygen to the cells? - CORRECT ANSWERS-the heart pumps blood
to the lungs to release carbon dioxide and then oxygenate the blood. it
is then pumped to the rest of the body.
what is the pathway that blood takes as it passes through the heart? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-superior vena cava to the inferior vena cava to
the right atrium to the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle to the
pulmonary artery to the lung to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium to
the mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aorta.
, what is the function of valves in the heart? - CORRECT ANSWERS-to
stop blood from flowing back into chambers and flow in the right
direction
how does the structure of arteries and veins relate to their functions? -
CORRECT ANSWERS-arteries- transport oxygenated blood from the
heart and they have thick muscular walls and a lot of elastic tissue
veins transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart they have thin
muscular walls with little elastic tissue
aorta - CORRECT ANSWERS-large arterial trunk carries blood from
heart to be distributed by branch arteries through the body
aortic valve - CORRECT ANSWERS-valve separating the aorta from
the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back to the left
ventricle
artery - CORRECT ANSWERS-tubular branching muscular/elastic
walled vessels that carry blood from heart through body
atrium - CORRECT ANSWERS-anatomical cavity or passage,
especially chamber of hesrt that recieves blood from veins and forces
it to ventricles
cardiovascular system - CORRECT ANSWERS-the transport system
of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body
and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes
cell - CORRECT ANSWERS-small unit of living matter capable of
functioning independently
inferior vena cava - CORRECT ANSWERS-largest vein in human
body, returns blood to right atrium of heart
