ANSWER: A p4
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
justabove the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.

a. left atrium p4
b. right atrium p4
c. left ventricle p4
d. right ventricle p4
ANSWER: D p4
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
heart thatlies most directly behind the sternum.

5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 , from
p4
the remainder of the body via the

c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinusp4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
ANSWER: D p4
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which carries
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries blood
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
fromthe lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that drains the
p4 4p p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
heart.

p4 p4 p4 p4 chambers but functions as a p4 p4 p4 p4 -sided pump. p4
a. two; four p4
b. three; two p4
c. four; two p4
d. four; three p4
ANSWER: C p4
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
heartare separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The interatrial
p4 4p p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates the right
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The right
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle make up
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
the other.

a. increased heart rate p4 p4
b. peripheral vasoconstriction p4
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle p4 p4 p4 p4
d. increased force of myocardial contraction p4 p4 p4 p4
ANSWER: B p4
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
organs.Stimulation 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?
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
a. Left
b. Right
ANSWER: B p4
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through the
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right side of
p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4 p4
the heartis a low-pressure system.
