MULTIPLE CHOICE xx
1. The apex of the heart is formed by the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx .
a. tip of the left ventricle
xx xx xx xx
b. tip of the right atrium
xx xx xx xx
c. right atrium and right ventricle
xx xx xx xx
d. left atrium and left ventricle
xx xx xx xx
ANS: A xx
The heart’s apex, or lower portion, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle. The apex lies
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
just above the diaphragm, between the fifth and sixth ribs, in the midclavicular line.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
OBJ: x x Identify the surfaces of the heart. xx xx xx xx xx
2. The left atrium receives blood from the
xx xx xx xx xx xx .
a. pulmonary veins xx
b. aorta
c. pulmonary arteries xx
d. inferior vena cava xx xx
ANS: A xx
The left atrium receives freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs via the right and left
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
pulmonary veins.
xx xx
OBJ: x x Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
3. The anterior surface of the heart consists primarily of the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx .
a. left atrium xx
b. right atrium xx
c. left ventricle xx
d. right ventricle xx
ANS: D xx
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However,
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
because the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
area of the heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
OBJ: x x Identify the surfaces of the heart. xx xx xx xx xx
4. Blood pressure is determined by
xx multiplied by xx xx xx xx .
a. stroke volume; heart rate xx xx xx
b. heart rate; cardiac output
xx xx xx
c. cardiac output; peripheral vascular resistance
xx xx xx xx
d. stroke volume; peripheral vascular resistance
xx xx xx xx
ANS: C xx
Blood pressure is equal to cardiac output multiplied by peripheral vascular resistance.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
, OBJ: x x Identify and explain the components of blood pressure and cardiac output.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
5. The right atrium receives venous blood from the head, neck, and thorax via the , from
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
the remainder of the body via the , and from the heart via the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx .
a. coronary sinus; superior vena cava; inferior vena cava
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. superior vena cava; coronary sinus; inferior vena cava
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. inferior vena cava; superior vena cava; coronary sinus
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
d. superior vena cava; inferior vena cava; coronary sinus
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
ANS: D xx
The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
carries blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which carries
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
blood from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
drains the heart.
xx xx xx
OBJ: x x Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
6. The heart is divided into
xx xx xx xx chambers but functions as a xx xx xx xx -sided pump. xx
a. two; four xx
b. three; two xx
c. four; two xx
d. four; three xx
ANS: C xx
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left sides of the
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called a septum. The
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
interatrial septum separates the right and left atria. The interventricular septum separates
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
the right and left ventricles. The septa separate the heart into two functional pumps. The
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
right atrium and right ventricle make up one pump. The left atrium and left ventricle
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
make up the other.
xx xx xx xx
OBJ: x x Identify and describe the chambers of the heart and the vessels that enter or leave each.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
7. Stimulation of alpha1 receptors results in .xx xx xx xx xx
a. increased heart rate xx xx
b. peripheral vasoconstriction xx
c. constriction of bronchial smooth muscle xx xx xx xx
d. increased force of myocardial contraction xx xx xx xx
ANS: B xx
Alpha1 receptors are found in the eyes, blood vessels, bladder, and male reproductive
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
organs. Stimulation of alpha1 receptor sites results in constriction.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
OBJ: Compare and contrast the effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation of the
x x xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
heart.
xx
8. Which side of the heart is a low-pressure system that pumps venous blood to the lungs?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Left
b. Right
ANS: B xx
The job of the right side of the heart is to pump unoxygenated blood to and through
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
the lungs to the left side of the heart. This is called the pulmonary circulation. The right
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
side of the heart is a low-pressure system.
