BIO 446L Exam #4 Study Questions and
100% Correct Answers
The initial signal to initiate a contraction of the heart is located in the ✅sinoatrial (SA)
node
The first branches off the aorta are the ✅coronary arteries
The heart valve that prevents backflow into the right ventricle is a: ✅semilunar valve
Which of the following vessels of the same diameter has a thicker tunica media?
✅artery
Which of the following is an example of a granulocyte? ✅eosinophil
Blood in a prenate, flows from the placenta to the liver in the: ✅umbilical vein
The thymus is the location of: ✅T cell maturation and selection
Which of the following is an example of a Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)?
✅palatine tonsil
Which of the following is an antigen-presenting cell? ✅macrophage
The epithelium that lines the esophagus is best classified as ✅stratified squamous
Plicae circulares are found in the ✅small intestine
The submucosal plexus is active due to stimulation from which nerve? ✅vagus nerve
External/Anterior View of the Heart ✅- Apex on the left points downwards
- Visible right and left ventricles where the right is more anterior
- Left atrium shows the pulmonary artery
external/posterior view of the heart ✅- Vena cavae more easily visible
- Visible pulmonary arteries and veins
- Coronary sinus visible (collects venous blood of the heart)
Right atrium ✅- Receives deoxygenated blood from the body
- Features → auricle, crista terminalis, musculi pectinati, fossa ovalis, tricuspid valves
- thinner ventricular walls than left atrium
,- receives blood from: superior vena cava, coronary sinus, and inferior vena cava
- sends blood to: right ventricle
- flows through right AV valve
crista terminalis of right atrium ✅origin of the SA node; smooth muscle
right ventricle ✅pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
- has pulmonary valve and tricuspid valve
- receives blood from: right atrium
- sends blood to: pulmonary trunk
- flows through pulmonary SL valve
left atrium ✅receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
- thicker ventricular walls because it pumps blood to the rest of the body
- receives blood from: pulmonary veins
- sends blood to: left ventricle
- flows through left AV valve
left ventricle ✅pumps oxygenated blood to the body
- receives blood from: left atrium
- sends blood to: ascending aorta
- flows through aortic SL valve
actions of the heart that occur during one beat ✅cardiac diastole --> atrial systole -->
ventricular systole
cardiac diastole ✅AV valves open, SL valves closed
- chambers are relaxed and filling passively
atrial systole ✅atria contract leading to ventricular filling
ventricular systole ✅contraction of ventricles
- blood is ejected into both the pulmonary artery and aorta
systemic circulation ✅blood brings nutrients and removes wastes in tissues throughout
the body; occurs in the left side of the heart
- Artery → arteriole → capillary → venule → vein
pulmonary circulation ✅Circulation of blood between the heart and the lungs
- blood is oxygenated in the lungs; right side of the heart
azygous vein ✅single vein that drains the chest wall and adjacent structures
- provides possible anastomosis between superior and inferior vena cavae on posterior
side
- Receives venous drainage of body wall and empties into superior vena cava
, filling valves ✅allow blood to pass through to fill ventricles; cuspid valves/
atrioventricular valves
- right (tricuspid) and left (mitral, bicuspid) atrioventricular valves
- lie Between atria and ventricles
tricuspid valve ✅valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- aka right atrioventricular valve
- include chordae tendinae and papillary muscle
papillary muscle ✅prevents cusps of right AV valve from being pushed into Right
atrium
ejecting valves ✅ejecting blood from heart and preventing backflow; semilunar valves
- pulmonary and aortic valves
- in the arteries exiting the heart
pulmonary valve ✅valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary
artery
- pumps blood out of the heart to the lungs
bicuspid valve ✅valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
- aka left AV valve or mitral valve
aortic valve ✅heart valve between the left ventricle and the aorta
diastole ✅Relaxation of the heart; closed pulmonary (semilunar valves), open
tricuspid/mitral valves; letting blood IN
systole ✅Contraction of the heart; open pulmonary valves, pumping blood OUT,
closed mitral/tricuspid valves
Pathway of blood flow through the heart and circulatory system ✅systemic veins -->
superior and inferior venae cavae --> right atrium --> right AV valve --> right ventricle -->
pulmonary SL valve --> pulmonary trunk and arteries --> gas exchange in the lungs -->
pulmonary veins --> left atrium --> left AV valve --> left ventricle --> aortic SL valve -->
aorta --> systemic arteries --> gas and nutrient exchange in peripheral tissues -->
systemic veins
What are the three great vessels originating on the arch of the aorta and what do they
supply? ✅1. Brachiocephalic trunk → supplies the head and right upper limb
2. Left Common Carotid artery → supplies head and neck
3. Left Subclavian artery → supplies the head and left upper limb
blood supply to the heart ✅coronary arteries
