• Left side

• Right side

• Both sides

• Neither side

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements about heart valves are correct?

• Valves maintain one-way flow of blood

• AV valves prevent backflow into atria

• Semilunar valves are between ventricles and arteries

• Valves open and close actively by muscle contraction

Multiple Choice

Which artery carries oxygenated blood from the aorta to the head, neck, and limbs?

• Carotid artery

• Subclavian artery

• Brachiocephalic artery

• Pulmonary artery

Multiple Choice

Which vein returns deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body to the right atrium of the heart?

• Superior vena cava

• Inferior vena cava

• Pulmonary vein

• Coronary sinus

Multiple Choice

A person has a stroke volume of 60 cm3 and a heart rate of 60 bpm. What is their cardiac output in cm3 per minute?

• 3600 cm3

• 120 cm3

• 1000 cm3

• 6000 cm3

Open Ended

Cardiac output is 5 dm3, heart rate is 54 bpm, calculate stroke volume in cm3

1 heart beat takes 0.8 seconds. Cardiac output is 3600 cm3 per minute. Use the information to work out the stroke volume in cm3

Categorize

Options (9)

All chambers relaxed

Atrioventricular valves open, blood flows into ventricles

High vetricular pressure

Atria start to fill

Atria contract

When pressure high semi lunar valves open

Semilunar valves closed due to high pressure in arteries

Blood fills ventricles until atrioventricular valves close

Ventricles contract pushing blood into arteries until semilunar valves close

Organize these options into the right categories

Diastole

Atrial systole

Ventricular systole

Open Ended

• Thick Filament within a Muscle Fibre

• Thin Filament within a Muscle Fibre

• Protein that covers myosin-binding sites

• Molecule that causes muscle contraction
